Office Information

Appointments & Preparation for Your Visits

Appointments may be scheduled Monday through Friday 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Additional early morning appointments are available at 7:30 AM. If your condition warrants immediate attention, please let us know and we will accommodate you. If you are unable to keep your appointment or expect to be late, please call our office as soon as possible. This courtesy allows us to better serve other patients.

Spectacle eyeglass wearers should bring all currently used eyeglasses and sunglasses with them to the examination. Contact lens wearers are also urged to bring their most current eyeglasses, as well as their present contact lenses. The examination process may involve dilation of the pupils which increases light sensitivity. Patients are therefore advised to bring a pair of sunglasses if possible (temporary ones are available). Please anticipate that dilation of the pupils will add an additional 30 minutes to examination duration.
