Both Laurie and Dr. Beardsley provided me with a comprehensive evaluation and exam of eye health. They are careful to explain and review each finding.

“very well organized and run clinic!”
The clinic had aline at check in desk ,but that quickly cleared as more stations opened. Having patients sit near their Drs. set of rooms makes for ease of locating for quicker sessions.
Love the efficiency and fridly service at this office!

“Friendly, Thoughtful Care”
Always nice to see Dr. Beardsley each year. He assured me that all was stable and well and offered suggestions for maintenance. We spoke a little of personal connections and interests, which is always appreciated. I look forward to next year's visit.
