I love Dr. Kerry Garwood so much that I schedule an appointment with her every year when I fly in fr... om Alaska! I have a very high prescription in both contacts and glasses, and glasses often make me feel dizzy—like I’m living in a fishbowl. She worked diligently to help find the best solution for my glasses and took the time to truly understand my concerns. I also tend to struggle with medical anxiety, and her warm, calming demeanor always helps me feel completely at ease. She’s fun, friendly, communicates everything clearly, and gives thoughtful options without ever making me feel pressured. I trust her so much that I recently encouraged my parent to become patients as well. Highly recommend!
