A new look on life for patients
“As a child my grandfather often told me to never speak when I can listen because it’s difficult to learn when your mouth is open. Now, many years later, I consider myself fortunate to work in a practice that allows me enough time with each patient to listen to every question or concern they have about their vision.”

Bella at the front desk is always a joy to speak with—she’s respectful and friendly. I see Dr. Maher, who was thorough and took the time to explain everything in detail, even using visuals to help me understand. I found this approach both educational and refreshing, as he didn’t rush through my eye exam. My father sees Dr. Glavine and Dr. Fay, and both are highly professional and knowledgeable. His cataract surgery went smoothly, with a seamless process both before and after the procedure. Overall, all the staff we have met are efficient, pleasant, and welcoming.February 07, 2025
I have seen Dr Maher and Glavine in the past and had great experiences with both of them and their technicians. This year I had an issue that landed me an appointment with Dr Ying who I was equally impressed with. Amanda at the front desk was very helpful in getting me a last minute appointment, and the wait time was minimal. I interacted with both Kaylyn who was quick and efficient and then Tammy who did my scans like a pro and with such humor. Happy to know there's such a great team so close to home.January 29, 2025
