Dr. Rafael is the most knowledgeable optometrist I have ever had the pleasure of being seen by. She spends a ton of time with you explaining every aspect of your eyes, and is very knowledgeable about how your diet can affect your overall optical health. They are very accommodating, will see you the same day you call for an appointment. Just an all-around wonderful place and very affordable if you have insurance. I just cannot say enough nice things about how fantastic Dr. Rafael is. Laura M
