Spring is here!

Now that Spring is here, we're seeing our Snowbird patients starting to come back to the office. This got us to thinking around the office...now's the time to come in and have your routine exam, order contacts or glasses, or schedule surgery. While moving back is an exciting time, and maybe you don't want to worry about health care right now, now is really the time to get things going.

If you have your routine and non routine care earlier in the Spring rather than waiting, we have more time to complete your treatments. We want to avoid setting someone up for surgery or starting the contact lens fitting process in the Fall when you're planning to go back to your Winter home in several weeks. In this way, we can be sure to have everything relating to your eye care done before you need to leave our wonderful area.

So, give the office a call and set up your appointment today! Then we won't all be in a rush in October.
