Heads up on schedule changes

We plan to add another optometrist towards the end of the summer 2026. Until then, the schedule may be booking out a little further. Currently, our first available appointment for a routine exam is about 7 weeks out. As always, if you are having an urgent situation, we will do our best to work you in sooner. h

We will also be adjusting our Tuesday hours from 9:00am-6:00pm to 8:30am-5:30pm. Our hours as of January 1, 2026 will be:

Monday-Thursday 8:30am – 5:30pm

Friday 7:00am – 3:00pm

We hope you all have a Happy New Year and look forward to taking care of your eye health and vision needs in the future.
