Dr. Silva is not only a very competent optometrist, he was able to address some tricky issues regarding my vision that other doctors had been unable to adequately address, but he's also a very likable person who clearly enjoys his work.

My family has been going to doctor Silva now for 20 years and have found him to be an excellent clinician, very thorough, patient, and works well with both children and adults. His office staff, Vivian and Paola, are also very professional, highly skilled and are a pleasure to deal with.

The most thorough exam!!! Not only do my eyes feel great, but they look great too! They have the best selection of frames! You will definitely have trouble picking just one. Luckily, their amazing staff will help you pick the most flattering and stylish pair. When you're a patient here, you truly feel like you are a part of their family.

I've been coming here for years, but I've been using glasses most of my life and I've never had a more thorough vision check-up. Dr. Silva is patient and efficient. The staff is very friendly. It's very easy to make an appointment.

Great Doctor, Great staff, Great service! I've been coming here for almost 3 years now and I can't be happier. My children, my husband and my mother-in-law also started coming here. We love it. The doctor is great, he's knowledgeable and listens to your concerns and provides solutions that work for you not his pocket. The staff members are awesome, courteous and professional. I can't say enough about this doctor's office. You won't be disappointed; i promise.

Now to the actual EYE Exam, forget going to any other place for an exam, I have recommended over 10 people to come here and they never leave. When you leave, not only did you get a real eye exam and

I haven't actually had an eye exam here but I have to review the service, specifically Vivian because she's so great.

I had recently had an eye exam at Lenscrafters but didn't like any of their frames and was tired of the mediocre service. I came here on a recommendation from my mom...
