5 stars Nabihah N Featured review
Everyone was very professional and very pleasant. The doctor was very nice and explained my exam and results to me.
They had a large selection of eyeglasses and helped me pick a frame that was best for me.
Nabihah! Always a pleasure. 8-)

Franklin Family Eyecare does the most thorough eye exams that I have experienced and I highly recommend them.
5 stars Barbara S Customer since 2012
Another quality eye exam and interaction with optical/office staff. The practice upgraded to a new technology which doesn't shoot the puff of air in the eye to determine ocular pressure, which was great. As always dr J spent meaningful time answering my questions. I finally put on my big girl pants and ordered a pair of progressives which was long overdue (on my part). Thanks again Dr. Jo and staff. I wish you all the best of holidays and health during the new year.

Very dishonest. Perform tests, sell you glasses/contacts then tell you after its not covered by insurance when its too late - everything is settled and done so you have no choice but to pay.

The doctor is amazing and patient and very helpful! Dr. Ngong-Tawe takes times to explain things, ensures a good fit and makes sures your needs are meet. Overall my experience was very good with the exception of the reception desk. The in person customer service did not match the on the phone customer service. There was a coldness and waiting period without many patients. You had to make the staff feel good, cheer them up; then they were very pleasant although always helpful. I was in a bit of a rush at the end since my appointment was rather long but thorough unfortunately, I left without a case to store my new contacts in or solution to sterilize them so when it came time to remove them before bed I was stuck.

Dr. Mark Strzeminski, DC
.Dr Strzeminski is great and very knowledgeable I Have recommend a couple of people who have also reported immediate relief I walked into his office bending over in pain and walked out walking straight. His personality is very pleasant. He spends time to educate you on you ailment and discusses the plan of care. One does not feel rushed when he is taking care of you. Thanks Dr Strzeminski I have not had backache for the last 5 years.Read More …
