I was pleasantly surprised by not just getting my eyes checked with the usual tests, but Dr. Lawrence James spent a special amount of time explaining how my eyes were different in several ways from other peoples’. I rec’d information which no other ophthalmologist or optometrist had ever explained. Knowing these things has relieved me of much angst about my sensitivity to certain kinds of lights and bright sunshine. I had an exceptional experience and wonderful advice.

First visit with Dr. Lawrence. On time for my appointment, extensive workup and examination and then meeting with Dr Lawrence. He is amiable, competent, explains in detail findings of exam and doesn't hurry you out. Very impressed and will continue with this practice for eye exam and issues.

Dr. Lawrence is the BEST! And, the entire team always is very thorough and professional. No long waits either with appointments. Highly recommend!
