What Our Patients Say
I'm a chicken when it comes to messing with my eyes but the doctors and staff made me comfortable. Now, with both eyes done with successful cataract lens replacement I'm seeing much better and glad I went through the surprisingly painless procedures. A+ for this team!
It was my first eye exam in several years (I know, shame on me!) and I was really anxious about it. The staff at Elmquist Eye Group was extremely friendly, perhaps the friendliest doctor's office I have ever been to. Their kindness made me really comfortable. Also, the doctor was excellent.
Elmquist exceeded my expectations in every way. The receptionists were kind and attentive. The assistants were knowledgeable, and took time to explain what they were doing and what to expect. Dr. Rodriguez was the icing on the cake! She is simply the best! What a great experience, second to none! Bravo!
