We’ve been bringing our 8-month-old baby here for eye care, and our experience has been wonderful. Our original appointment was scheduled for August, but when our child suddenly developed an urgent eye issue, I called to see if there was any chance of getting in earlier. Sharon at the front desk told me the doctor’s schedule was already fully booked, but after speaking with Dr. Alibrando, she somehow managed to fit us in much sooner. In the end, our baby’s eye issue was resolved with the help of our family doctor, so we didn’t need to use the earlier appointment after all. But we truly appreciated the care, effort, and compassion from both Sharon and Dr. Alibrando. We will 100% continue following up with Dr. Alibrando in the future. Highly recommend this clinic!

Amazing clinic! I just want to extend a huge thanks to Kyle who was not only professional but also very kind, he went over the procedures and explained what they do, why they’re effective, and answered my questions thoroughly. I also want to thank the lovely receptionist who greeted me and booked my appointment especially on such short notice.

Had a really wonderful experience as a first time patient. Bohan, Shannon and Dr. Alibrando were super kind and attentive, helping me with my questions and making my visit really comfortable. I will definitely be telling friends about this excellent visit. Thank you so much for taking care of me. :)
