Came here for my annual exam. This place was recommended by my insurance company. My eye exam was paid by my insurance except for the retinal imaging which is $30. You can decline the digital imaging. They may or may not ask for your permission before running the test. Just be aware. They asked me ahead of time but did not get consent from my boyfriend when he came in at a different time. I wanted the scan to be done due to eye problems running in my family so I didn't mind the extra $30. The entire staff was very pleasant and you can tell that they sincerely care about your experience. They were all bilingual which is really impressive. A good business knows its community. Dr. Joel Westrum was extremely thorough and addressed all of my concerns. I had a bump on the inner part of my top eyelid and he anesthetized and expressed the gland. I barely felt a thing and he warned that there might be some bruising from the pressure but I never ended up getting any. That bump is now gone and my eye feels like it's back to normal with no irritation whatsoever. Dr. Joel Westrum put me on some new toric contacts since the brand I was on were being phased out. I must say, my eyes have never been more comfortable! The lenses hold moisture like no other contacts I've ever owned. Overall, I'm thrilled about my experience here. The only complaints are that some patients aren't warned about extra costs before a test is performed, and the eyeglass selection is pretty lacking. If you find some glasses you like in one of the brands they carry they can order it in for you. It's just nicer to be able to try before you buy.

I just picked up my glasses today, so I may update after wearing them for a few days or weeks, but I wanted to write a review and let the doctor and amazing staff of Westrum know I had an excellent experience. Dr. Westrum is efficient and thorough. The other staff and I am sorry I do not know their titles or names, but they were really nice. They treated me like I was an old friend. I am very impressed and so far my vision is much improved. Thank you all!

The staff was very friendly and knowledgable. I saw Dr. Jesse for an eye exam and this was the first time I had ever had the doctor walk me through the imaging of my eyes. He got me into some contacts that were a better fit for me than what I had been using and the overall experience was great!
