I cannot say enough good things about Primary EyeCare. After experiencing a failed laser eye surgery... elsewhere, I had a lot of questions and anxiety. The team here went completely above and beyond to answer all my questions with incredible patience and clarity. Furthermore, their expertise is unmatched. I wear hard contacts that I didn't even purchase from them, yet they took the time to thoroughly explain proper care and maintenance—providing me with crucial information that no other eye doctor had ever given me before. They are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely care about their patients. Highly recommend!
