I love Dr. Parker! My whole family gets their eyes checked there - from my toddler (who she is amazing with) and husband to my Dad who recommended her to us. I have a vision issue & she was super thorough and laid out a long term plan to maintain and support my vision.

For the 15 seconds I was in there the receptionist was ruder than anyone that represents the face of a company, I will certainly not be back. 1 Star because 0 was not an option!

I was experiencing something unusual in my right eye, and Dr. Parker was able to fit me in the same day I called. She did a thorough examination, explained what the problem was and what I could expect. She reassured me that my problem was not serious, and told me to return if I noticed any changes. I left feeling that I was in good hands.
