Patient Reviews Testimonials
Amazing, knowledgeable, compassionate, professionals who “get it.” Quickly answered questions I’ve had for a long time and explained what could be done.
Sandie B.
Very happy with the exam and customer service. Unlike other optometry businesses, I’ve been to I didn’t feel like they “upsold” or pressure for me to purchase their products.
Megan B.
Doctor Sidney Kapp saw me promptly after the assistant was done taking care of me. Sidney also provides useful tips for preventing eye problems. Since 2020, I have seen this doctor 4 out of those 5 years for my annual eye exam and she is great. I would recommend her for anyone.

I love this place! We have been coming here since 2003 when my son’s doctor realized at his 1 year checkup that his eyes didn’t focus together. It started with just him because of the distance, but now I got there as well as does my mom. The staff are all friendly and helpful. Love Dr Kristi and Dr Dave, but I’ve seen other great doctors there as well. I can’t ever imagine going anyplace else.

I had a wonderful experience at the Mind’s Eye Center! I had a brain injury a few years ago that left me with double vision and made me have to give up my driver’s license. Ophthalmologists originally put me on prism glasses (base out 15). After a few months of vision therapy, I got down to 8 base out at near and 11 base out at distance. After a few more months, we got it down even more to 2 base out at near and 6 base out at distance! I am driving again and on my way to get my license back. I plan on doing even more vision therapy because there is even more room to improve! Special shout out to Remya! She is a wonderful and very encouraging therapist. I enjoy all of my therapy sessions- they are all very fun and it’s really cool working with 3D!!
