Dr. Elkins practically saved my life in during my last visit. He recognized a major issue, then he sent me to see my doctor immediately. I was a walking stroke waiting to happen and thanks to Dr. Elkins we caught this issue before it got more serious. Of course, I would recommend Dr. Elkins to any one. Thanks to him and his professionalism I've avoided serious problems that have to do with my eyes and overall health.

My entire family and I have been seeing Dr. Elkins for over 5 years now. I first took my two girls who were in need of glasses before their new school year began. Dr. Elkins not only examined them in a comfortable manner, but we were able to get them contacts and glasses from their office too. The staff is kind and wait times are not bad either. High reccomendations!
