So, I was waiting to hear that I would need them even more so now (developed high blood pressure and diabetes after I began wearing them). I haven't worn glasses since I broke both pair 12 years ago. I understood it and that's HUGE! Over the years, I have had other eye specialists THROW prescriptions for glasses at me, heck I even had one say I needed bi-focals lol.

She genuinely engaged me about what my experiences had been with my sight, and spoke without all the medical terms that I would need to look up later. She was genuine, warm, and spoke with purpose. What a breath of fresh air (as Doctors go). You treated me like we had known each other for years and that I deserved your best- thank you for that. I knew what she was doing while she was doing it (tremendously important for us who are classified as the older generation to understand what is happening as it is happening) thank you for remembering that I am someone's mother and someone's grandmother - as they say. She was thorough and engaged me throughout. She carried out the pre-exam professionally.

The interaction (the dialogue) was not forced but GENUINE and warm (oh boy, wonderful attribute). It seemed to me, that she understood my being a first timer (without saying it) that I might be a little anxious about what would happen at this visit and she treated me like a person and not so much like a patient with a problem (I really loved that). Not sterile/distant in her personality at all. Five minutes later, I was being called to the back by the Dr's Assistant - Christina. Two forms front and back but certainly not overly wordy forms that asked for all your business-took less than five minutes to complete (absolutely loved that part). She gave clear and friendly instructions on what was needed since this was my first visit. Rachel (the young receptionist) was excellent. Our first encounter would truly solidify if I would even consider a return. I visited as a referral from my PCP so I had no expectations as they were unknown to me. My first encounter with AZ Eye Specialists in Goodyear was this morning.

I do very few reviews, but when you earn it, good or bad, you've earned it.
