What patients say

  • Dr. Quintanilla put the pictures of the back of my eye on the screen and showed me exactly what she was watching.

    Sample review

  • Two other offices told me I could not wear contacts. Dr. Yoon tried three lens types with me and told me why each one felt different.

    Sample review

  • My son picked his own frames and Thandiwe checked they stayed put. A Thursday evening slot kept him in class.

Meet Dr. Quintanilla

You should leave knowing what I saw in your eyes, not only holding a new prescription.

Dr. Quintanilla opened the practice in 2016. She does most of the full eye exams and runs the Tuesday dry eye clinic.

Index / Why patients stay

Why patients stay

  • You see what the doctor sees

    Your retinal photos go up on the exam room screen, and the doctor walks you through them.

  • Glasses fitted down the hall

    Thandiwe, our optician, works ten steps from the exam rooms. Adjustments are free, for any frames.

  • A late day every week

    Open until 7 pm on Thursdays, so nobody misses school or work for an exam.

Index / Questions

Questions patients ask

Do you take my vision insurance?

We take VSP, EyeMed, Davis Vision and Spectera, plus Medicare and Florida Blue for medical eye visits. Call with your card and we check your benefits.

What is the difference between vision and medical insurance?

Vision insurance covers a routine exam and part of your glasses or contacts. Medical insurance covers an eye problem, such as an infection, dry eye or diabetes. We tell you which applies before you come in.

Can I drive after my eyes are dilated?

Your vision is blurry and bright light is uncomfortable for several hours. It may not be safe to drive, so please bring a driver. Bring sunglasses too.
