I started seeing Dr. Burrell back in 2000 when she was starting her practice. I have had significant eye problems since I was a child, so it was great to have a doctor who was able to understand all my issues. In 2015 I had cataract surgery in both eyes and Dr. Burrell was outstanding. Those surgeries were life changing. In recent years I have also seen Dr. Van Meter and been very pleased with him as well. I experienced nothing but professionalism and kindness in my 24 years of visiting this office and have referred several of my friends there.
