I have been a patient of Dr. Farea for many years -- she is outstanding!

I had a very good experience with her medical assistant. During my vision exam she noticed that my polarized glasses were not sitting on my nose properly and this was affecting my how well I was seeing the eye chart. She then adjusted my glasses and this gave me proper results. Doctor Farea was great. She listened attentively to my concerns and referred me to an eye surgeon for further treatment.
