Patient Reviews
Oct 27, 2017
I have been wearing glasses and contacts for more than 20 years and I have never been so pleased with an eye doctor as I am with Dr. Robert Howard. He really cares about his patients and his staff does too. I was able to get glasses and contacts for less money than ever before and I was very satisfied with my vision. This is a definite solid gold office and I have been coming back for more than 4 years. Will continue to recommend Dr. Howard to my friends and coworkers.
