Everyone in the office is so professional, and friendly

Dr. McGaughy always comes into the exam room with a smile. He discusses any questions I have, and explains everything clearly.
He is very knowledgeable, professional, and makes you very comfortable while having your eyes examined.
Thank you Dr. McGaughy

The Optical Machine!! Love it!!

From the time you walk in until the time you walk out, you will be convinced that this place runs like a machine. An optical machine at that. Everyone from the front end to the office workers to the nurses, technicians, check out staff and even when I first called them to set my first appointment the lady on the phone and the doctor himself was all just absolutely amazing!!
I cannot stress enough just how impressed I was with Coastal Eye Group and there whole facility where you can get check ups, eye exams, and even had my cataract procedure there which it in itself was an absolute pleasure!!
Thank you all for being so kind and for taking care of me. I appreciate each and every one of you!!

Could Not Have Been Better

Dr. McGaughy and his team’s care throughout my cataract surgery experience were way beyond my expectations. Every interaction with him and his team put me at ease and helped me get through each stage of the treatment path without stress. I would highly recommend him to my family and friends.
