These guys are really great. I scheduled an appointment in a pinch a few years ago in a pinch and ha... ve been coming back ever since. They’re friendly and extremely helpful. Jeff is so nice and responsive. I think I’ve seen a different doctor each time but I’ve enjoyed all of them.

Vision First has been my optometrist for years. Dr. Hoover is very kind patient with me when it come... s to choosing which lens I can see thru better. “Is it 1, 2 or 3?’… A, B or C?’ 😂 He is also patient with all of the questions I have. The technician, Jennifer, is also patient with the uncomfortable testing and helps you relax. Claire Escamilla is also patient with me when choosing frames. I have always stuck with the same frame style for 20 years because I have a round face. But 3 years ago she helped me break out of my comfort zone with a new style that fits my face shape and they were adorable!! And now THAT brand will probably be with me for the next 20 years. 😂 (unless Claire finds a new style that helps minimize my round face) Claire also helps me work with insurance and helps me find what I need within my budget. Thanks you guys! I would definitely recommend Vision First to anyone!
