 Brought my daughter to see Dr. Varghai and I am so happy I did. She was incredibly thorough and patient specially considering how tricky it can be to properly examine... read more small kids, and she took the time to help us better understand what was going on with my daughters vision. They also offered a range of high quality frames for kids that we chose from. I had a moment to take a look at the adult frames as well and the selection was truly stunning.

 I highly recommend Dr. Varghai and her front desk staff. My 12 year old just had an eye exam and got contacts for the first time. Dr. Varghai has a... read more gift with educating young clients. She explains everything so well and has so much patience. Seriously, she impressed me! There is a real friendly vibe here and it feels relaxed.
