Super Eye Doctor and great service. I had thought I damaged my eye with the wind blowing back so plant spray I used in the garden. All was clear and okay. Gold Star @ Austin Eye!!
Ashley Deese, examined me in a very knowledgeable, professional and congenial manner. She was able to clearly describe and explain to me in an understandable manner all my test results. The receptionist and technician were very friendly and performed their tasks quickly and professionally.
Dr. Deese was great, the eye tech was amazing as well

Response from the ownerThank you for your kind words! We’re so glad to hear you felt comfortable and well cared for by our team. Odette has looked out (pun) for me for decades. I recommended him several times and I very rarely make any recommendations to avoid blowback.
