I have not been a fan of that little BURST of air to check the eye pressure! WHAT they do not, do that any longer? YEAH!The staff was super friendly and very professional. I was impressed with the service that I received. I was able to have chats with the staff and in 2026, how many times can you say that any staff has time to just make you feel comfortable and at ease. I am NOT a huge fan of most doctors and now as I am an old dude I have to see many doctors for many ailments and this week I had one today and another tomorrow. My anxiety was a bit high as it has been a banner year for me, I have had 4 cancer surgeries since February and just as I had gotten used to 1 healing it was time for another. So, I have gotten used the very high level of stress when I know I am walking into a new office and new staff to work with. OK all that being said I was made to feel very comfortable as soon as I walked into this office, and as the time went on, I was made to feel more relaxed, Dr Keating explained everything easily and spoke to me like a person not a number that was to be churned in and out. I did not have that vibe, as I said everyone was really easy to speak with.A really funny story tied to this visit. I had a list that I needed to get pre-Thanksgiving prep, so I was at Aldi and after having my eyes dilated my vision was literally just so/so maybe enough to drive home safely but maybe not enough to go into a new store and after looking for the Happy Harvest crushed pineapple, one of my secret additions to my sweet potatoes... (shh dont tell Aunt Edna, she hates pineapple but loves my sweet potato casserole.) Ok I just cannot find the pineapple, and I ask a clerk if she can show me the location. She was perplexed as she had never heard of Happy Harvest crushed pineapple. OK I said let me show you on my phone! after a few seconds the screen opened up and clearly stated Happy Harvest Creamed CORN!... She giggled and I said What? she said its ok honey, I said OK my eyes were dilated about 45minutes ago and I saw the yellow can and I NEEDED pineapple...we both laughed and she said, I am glad you went to the eye doctor today!And after my visit to The Eye Associates, I am glad that I went to the eye doctor today as well!
