Vision 1st is hands down the best!
From the moment you walk in and are greeted by the friendly and ... Show Morewelcoming Tia, to the thorough pre-testing with the office tech, and finally to the exam with Dr. Hoover — the entire experience is top-notch.
I’ve been to several vision offices over the past few years, and no one has ever been able to get my contact prescription quite right — until now. For the first time, I can clearly see both distance and up close with my contacts!
Dr. Hoover took the time to explain everything in clear, understandable terms. He walked me through why my previous prescriptions weren’t working and what adjustments he was making. He also explained why I could or couldn’t see certain letters during the exam and what that meant for my vision.
Whether you’re brand new to vision care or have been wearing glasses or contacts for years, I highly recommend Dr. Hoover and the team at Vision 1st. They truly go above and beyond!
