I have never had a better experience at an optometrist. Dr. Werner is so friendly and makes the entire experience so easy to understand. He explains things in detail but breaks it down so that you have a better understanding and education on your eyes. He takes the time to listen to your concerns. I will continue to keep coming back here and will recommend with friends/family. Thank you to the entire staff for being so friendly! The staff is amazing!
It has been three years since I left my last review. I and my three children are still going to Werners. They are the best and Dr. McMurren specializes in so-called "dry eye" which 80% of us have no matter the age because we look at screens so much that our blink rate is reduced. The eye glands need blinking to work, and when underworked they die off. Nearly everyone has dead oil-producing glands they just don't know it. I would recommend that ANYONE of ANY age get a dry eye evaluation there. I went to seven doctors before this was determined as to why my eyes hurt. And now my problem is fixed. Seven eye doctors missed the oil gland problem because I still had plenty of tears but not enough oil. If you have any problems like itchy eyes, pain, or blurriness, you could have "Meibomian gland dysfunction" and it only gets worse with time as we all look at screens (TV, phone, Ipad, computers, etc.) This was something that was not a problem 40 years ago, but today even five-year-olds can start to develop it. There are very easy fixes but 97% of eye docs dont have the machines so they don't diagnose it. They can't make money from MGD so they misdiagnose. I was given drops, artificial tears, gels, and even pain pills, but no one correctly diagnosed MGD. Now I am fine! Werner is your new eye doctor!!! Worth the drive from anywhere in the county!
Been going here for years and have nothing but positivity to say about the staff. They conduct thorough and comprehensive eye exams every year about your eye health, beyond your prescription. Specifically, the optometrist, Chiyo Brown and Dr. Brittany, and the administrative staff are supportive and accommodating and listen to you.
