Hear From a Real Patient
“I've been a patient at Uptown Optometry for more than 10 years. When I heard that Dr. Larson had retired and sold his practice, I was understandably concerned that the new owners would not meet Dr. Larson's high standards. I'm happy to say that everything I liked about Uptown optometry continues under the new owners. The staff continues to be excellent, knowledgeable, personable, and professional… I highly recommend Uptown Optometry.” -C M, Google Review
