I want to share how great everyone is here at El Paso Optical. I've been coming here for 12 years now and have never had any problems. The staff and Drs are caring and treat all patients as family. Thank you El Paso Optical Center for giving me clear vision.

Had a great experience with Dr. B and the whole staff! It was my 6 year old's first eye appointment and they talked her through the whole process making sure she understood what was going on. Highly recommend!

​ One can sense professionalism from the time you enter the door. The staff are very helpful, knowledgeable and courteous. They addressed me in a timely manner and no question was too trivial.
