A friendly doctor who put me at ease, a great tech who really seemed to know his stuff, and an efficient and helpful front desk. All in all a wonderful office

Tanessa P.

The optical assistant was particularly helpful. She took a lot of time to talk to me, explaining a lot along the way and had a genuine and caring and knowledgeable manner

James Z.

The entire staff, front desk, physicians assistant and Doctor Flanary, were great at the visit. This was my 1 year post operation check and the results were great and I would highly recommend Oregon Eye Health.
