Testimonials
“Thank you Dr. Soave, Bea and Ashley. In my 30 years of needing vision correction I have never had such a thorough, caring, friendly and professional experience. The entire process of getting fitted for new contact lenses and glasses was the most thorough I have ever had. The time Dr. Soave took to get my fit perfect allowed for me to switch to a new brand of contacts that I never thought I could wear. I am now seeing better than I have in years and could not be more pleased. I recommend anyone looking for new glasses or contacts to visit Dr. Soave and his well educated, personal staff. Thanks to my amazing first time experience they now have a new customer for life.”
“What a great experience! The Opticians were most knowledgeable and answered all my questions in great detail. I felt very comfortable with them never felt rushed or pressured. Dr Scott Soave was truly a delight to meet. His exam was very thorough and he spent considerable time answering my questions and providing recommendations tailored to my exam. I would highly recommend Dr Soave and his staff for their courtesy and knowledgeable eye care.”
“Great prices and service, awesome people who really care about our eyes! Would recommend to everybody”
