I wish I could do both my field eye and eye pressure test and then see the provider. Instead of having my field eye test, seeing the doctor, having my eye pressure test, and finally going back to the doctor again.

Dr.Mallery is the best! I don't remember the young woman name that performed the eye exam but she's awesome too. I've never had a bad experience.

Dr Mallery and his assisting colleague were thorough and meticulous. They both explained their findings and what are these findings indicative of. I'm grateful. I just hope that the surgeon Dr Mallery referred me to is as good as he is.
