"Everything about this group is perfection! From front office, to the technicians and optometrists who work splendidly and effortlessly together.Look up "FINELY OILED PIECE OF MACHINERY" in the dictionary, and you will see this group, OAV.Every person there seems to genuinely care about the patient, and they all do their jobs with pleasure and professionalism. They do a fine job of representing the physician, and Dr. Elkins was my doctor.He is personable, compassionate, innovative and I trusted him completely. I'd heard wonderful things about him. His reputation proceeds him, and I can see why. He explains everything and is patient and thorough. I should mention I also saw Dr. Abbassi and he was top notch, as well.The surgery I had went perfectly and I am very happy with my results. Needless, to say, my eyes are precious to me and I would only entrust them to the very best. Dr. Elkins and his team ARE the very best. I would highly recommend him."
