5 stars Susan W Featured review
High Yelp ratings and services offered led me to make my eye exam here. I found Dr Huggett to be very personable and I could tell he really enjoys his work. He took the time to explain to me about how the eye functions and how that applies to my vision. He did a complete exam including dilation and I never felt like he was rushing through it. Very thorough, very detailed. I will definitely return here for my yearly exams.
