I’ve gone to Dr. Doug for about 8 years now and I wouldn’t have it any other way. He’s very friendly and takes time to go over every option that there is when it comes to any eye care issue. The entire staff is so friendly and is always willing to accommodate you in any way they possibly can. I went away to college and came back to visit over Christmas break and forgot my contacts. Dr. Doug not only helped supply me while I was home but drove out in the snow and ice to make sure I got my contacts. That’s quality service you WON’T find anywhere else. I would definitely recommend Eyecare Associates to anyone!
