Testimonial Quote

- Jackie B.

“I always have a great experience during my annual eye exam. The staff here is so friendly and makes you feel very welcome. I have been seeing Dr Traverse for many years and although thorough explains things in layman terms. It never feels like he is rushing to get you out the door.”

Testimonial Quote

- Charlotte D.

“Dr. Traverse is wonderful! Very friendly, thorough, and conscientious. Over the years I have seen most of the clinic staff change, but the Doctors are always there. It gives me peace of mind to know my doctor knows my history, and also how best to communicate with me- using “shop talk” or layman’s terms when it best meets the needs of making sure I am aware of my eye health.”
