I saw Dr. Kristin Mohr for my eye appt. She was very professional and exceptionally knowledgeable. Kira, who I saw prior to my exam, ran tests and was very helpful and kind. I feel like the care I received could not have possibly been any better. A great experience from the moment I walked in.
Excellent experience again. The staff was kind and courteous and explained everything very well
Dr Ibach was very well presented and thoughtful during his examination with me. The staff at Vance Thompson Vision is the best. They answered all of my questions and more. After being referred by Dr Ashley Crabtree to Mitch, I felt comfortable I was in the right hands with the right team!
