Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

This doctor truly cares about you and treats you as such. Her and her staff are what makes the difference in this healing process.

Dr Smith, Takes her time. She treats you as if she is not in a hurry. She is knowledgeable and wants to make sure she is diagnosing the root cause instead of only symptoms. Thank you Dr Smith

Dr. Smith and her entire team are knowledgeable, professional, engaging and warm. This blend of excellence and warmth have given my daughter an entirely new lease on her relationship with education. We cannot thank Dr. Smith and her team enough for all they have done for our daughter and as a result, our entire family.

Before vision therapy I was having trouble with concentration, fatigue and confidence. When reading I had to go over the information a few times to make sure that what I read was acurate. Having to do this seemed to cause confusion. After 6 months of therapy all of the previous issues were corrected. The quality of my life has been improved dramatically. My family had also noticed the improvements. I could not be happier with the results. Dr. Smith and her staff have may a significant impact on my life. I am 62 yrs old.

Marcella is great and I think the different activities they have my daughter do to improve her vision are really well thought out and very effective. Madison loves working with Marcella and never complains about going to vision therapy. My only complaint is that it's very hard to get the time slots you want when you have to reschedule a missed session, and I don't think you should have to "make up" a session you missed because they close the office for the holidays. Other than that, I'm a huge fan!

I highly recommend The Center for Vision Dev. Dr. Smith's evaluation was very thorough and she took the time to explain the results and what we need to work on. My therapist is very professional and understands my needs well. She is supportive, knowledgeable, and is dedicated to see me succeed. I really appreciate everyone, Tracie and Diana are attentive and are very helpful with scheduling or any paperwork that is needed. Very friendly staff.

Always a wonderful experience. It's been many years since we needed to come in, and everything was just as fantastic as we remembered. Dr. Smith is patient and kind with my daughter, and sensitive to giving her short breaks during the thorough testing. We drive clear across town to see her, because it is worth it.

Dr Denise is very attentive and patient with very young children. My son was almost 2. He was on an at-home vision therapy program for his hyperopia, strabismus, amblyopia. He ended up moving to another practice because of scheduling conflicts on our end. At the time, the staff included a vision therapist who was trained in identifying retained primitive reflexes - a topic that is not widely talked about by pediatricians yet is significant to eye tracking/teaming, among other development-related
