I'm a little biased because I'm a relative of the managing optometrist, but I live out of town and I've been to other optometrists over the years. At the others I felt like a widget on an assembly line, like they were trying to move me through as quickly as possible and didn't care about anything but if I could read the chart. At Davison, every member of the staff is so attentive, caring, and human. It makes you feel like you belong there. And they take the time to teach you so much about your eye health. I can't believe how much I've learned. I go out of my way to get my exams and frames here if I can.
