I've been wearing glasses since I was 3 years old. And I've been wearing contacts for 40 years! Needless to say, I've got poor vision so my exams take longer and more intense. I don't enjoy getting my eyes tested but Dr Mitchell makes it more enjoyable (yes it's possible). She and her staff were very patient with me and kind. They have no idea how emotional this process is for me as I am legally blind without my glasses or contacts and it's emotional for me. In the past I have cried after leaving an eye doctor's office but not here. I've been seeing her for a number of years and I leave less emotional and have felt cared for which is huge for me. This last time my husband had an appointment with her too but it was a half an hour before me. They didn't realize that they were seeing my husband too but connected the dots after I saw him in the hallway. He felt cared for and felt at ease with the staff which is huge for him and his health issues. Thank you Dr Mitchell and staff we appreciate you!
