Testimonial

  • "This is a very chic optometrist's office in a brand new space run by a charming husband and wife team. They are from South Africa with delightful accents. The doctor has an autographed photo of Nelson Mandela on his wall. They have three pleasant staff helpers. The atmosphere is upscale but casual, sort of Malibu Beach!"
