Dr. Gimlen is the best! What a great office staff too. Such a pleasant experience for the past 2 years... When the braces came off yesterday, one of my first thoughts was about how we're going to miss coming here....!

As usual, staff was friendly and efficient. I felt the safe guards put in place made me feel comfortable and no need to worry about catching anything from the office. Dr Melendrez was attentive and my eye exam thorough. Dr Melendrez and his staff are very compassionate.
