AVA and Dr. Shepard does a fantastic job and really provides great care and advice for my ‘aging’ eyes. One of the best things about the practice is the efficiency and solid processes. They seem to always run on time! After my appointment, I get great new glasses with the Opticians next door at AVA Imagine.

This is a great place to get your eyes examined. They do take Medicare patients. The doctors are thorough and have the equipment so you don't have to get drops in your eyes. There is an optical shop across the hall; a clerk there helped me find some frames and for the frames and two sets of lenses, it was a very reasonable price compared to others, even though
the optical shop doesn't take Medicare.

Been going to Dr. Shepherd for 8+ years. He is very friendly, professional and very involved with your eyecare appointment unlike other opticians who rely on techs to do most of the work. Very nice office and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommend!

They are amazing!!! The service is great. The doctors are truly the best in town and always professional, helpful and patient. The glasses are super pretty and the staff spends as much time as needed helping you find the perfect pair. It’s always so nice going here…how many doctor’s offices can you say that about?!

Dr Donna Shepherd was very engaging with great sense of humor. She was very thorough in her examination, and provided helpful recommendations for follow-up with an ophthalmologist. Highly recommend her.

Dr. Donna Shepard is wonderful. I have been going to her for many years and she is always so friendly and so professional. She is totally concerned for your eye health and even helps pick out frames if you need her opinion. I highly recommend her.

Waited over three weeks and three phone calls to get my glasses. Went to pick them up and no one showed up to work 30 min after 10:00 opening. The optical shop next door found my glasses but they were not what I ordered. $800 of poor customer service.

The office staff and Dr. Donna Shepard are all so pleasant when we have our appointment. They attend to our vision care with the kind of personal attention that makes you confident in the status of your eye health. As we've gotten older, that's become more and more important. We've been going here for many years and would never consider changing.
