Hear what our patients are saying.

  • Great office, great doctor. Every employee was very friendly and knowledgeable.

    Carolina Monteiro

  • Since you arrived you will be attended by great staff. They do a complete eye exam. They are very careful with the cleaning of every machine before you use it. You don’t have to wait too long in order to see the doctor who by the way is very clear to explain your condition. He is very professional and polite. I will highly recommend this place. Let me know if you have any questions or need anything else.

    Laura Rodriguez

  • The entire staff is cordial and competent. Appropriate questions are asked and answered. One can feel very confident in the treatment offered.

    Merle Price

  • The staff are very professional and thorough. I have confidence in the doctors.

    Alyssa Rebhun

  • By far, the best group of Drs. in the industry. I have seen 3 of their Drs. and they were all above and beyond!! If you have any eye issues they will greatly help you with their great knowledge and compassion!! Would recommend OCLI over and over again!!
