The tec who did most of the testing talked to me all the way through and made the testing easier to get through. The doctor took the time to talk to me and answered my questions. Chantelle in optical was a pleasure to work with. I got the glasses I wanted at a very good price.

John at the front desk in Greeley was very helpful, kind and courteous. It's always a joy to talk with him! He checked us in, checked us out, scheduled our next appointments with ease. Dr Cotten and Dr Gange are both very personable, take time to explain everything and have always given us options to make the process a little less expensive while keeping our health a priority.
