    Dr. McCloud is very thorough and wants to make the best possible improvement to the patient's vision. I do not feel rushed in doing the eye tests.

      Dr. McCloud is the absolute best. She takes her time to talk to my son, who is very articulate for a 5 year old, explains thoroughly to him and me, and goes above and beyond for her patients. If all drs were like her, the healthcare system would be much different. Thank you, Dr. McCloud.

      A provider never saw me during my visit. I waited 75 minutes in the exam room without explaining any delays or updates, so I checked myself out at 17:15 and left.
