Only for Dr. Ashley Varakalayil. She redid my exam after the first doctor royally screwed up my glas... Show Moreses(different location). She listened and did an excellent job. I went back to where she used to work and was severely disappointed. I recently moved, thinking about driving 2 hours just to get an appointment with her. Been to this location years ago, once. Dr. Varakalayil is the only reason I'd go back and drive 2 hrs one way.
