Very knowledgeable and professional. Felt at ease almost instantly. Lots of time spent to evaluate and come up with plan. Supplementary visit just as comforting. Almost as if there are no more patients that day. Thanks, Doc…

“Fantastic in every way!!”
Dr.Brimer took her time to explain what the root of the problem was and what steps we are going to take to fix the problem not cover the symptoms. Her staff is wonderful full of smiles and very polite.

“Excellent”
Took my issues seriously, addressing my individual needs as opposed to the generic recommendations I received from other providers that had done nothing for me. Found relief immediately and with continued treatment have experienced significant improvement. The IPL treatment has been a game changer and I attribute my increasingly improved condition a result of this treatment.

“So grateful to finally find an eye doctor who has helped treat the "root cause" not just symptoms.”
Dr. Brimer is very patient, thorough and knowledgeable. Strongly recommend her to anyone experiencing long lasting eye issues. I truly feel that she has saved my vision. Thank you Dr. Brimer.

“Best eye care ever”
I have recommended several people to this practice, and this is why....the focus is on getting and maintaining healthy eye care.
Believe me, I came in with lots of issues. I am on my way to healthier eyes, my vision and comfort are much improved.
I am in awe of the depth of Dr Brimer's knowledge, especially in the field of dry eyes.
Thank you.

“Dry Eye Recovery Post Lasik”
After my lasik surgery, I suffered from severe dry eyes. Dr. Brimer has worked with me over the last 1 & 1/2 years to bring moisture back to my eyes and help me enjoy being able to see 20/20 on my own again. The time she takes with me to bring the best therapy plan of action builds trust and respect in her as a healthcare professional. She even follows up with me and tells me to call her personally if I ever have any problems. This is the reason I drive 2 & 1/2 hours for appointments with her. We have done lipoflow, IPL, worked on a twice daily routine for me at home and we are currently discussing allergy testing. She also has worked wonders with my mom. My family loves Dr. Brimer and the compassion she has for us and our healthcare. The staff is also really helpful and caring toward us too. As a healthcare professional myself, I can be really picky about the service I expect to receive based on the standards I have with my patients and Focus Eye Care exceeds the expectations.
