    Dr Mullins was fantastic! It was my first time seeing him and I really appreciated his down-to-earth, easy going manner! I intend to see him, for my annual check-up, going forward. I really liked my prior ophthalmologist but his relocation to a new Clinic facility made it too inconvenient from my home.

    DR. MULLINS WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND TO CARE FOR ME DURING MY ROUTINE EYE EXAM. HE EVEN WENT AS FAR AS TO DISRUPT HIS SCHEDULE TO DOUBLE CHECK AN ISSUE WITH MY EYE EXAM THAT COULD HAVE BEEN HANDLED ON A SUBSEQUENT VISIT. SINCE I LIVE OVER AN HOURS DRIVE TO HIS CLINIC - HE OFFERED TO DO THE EXTRA EXAM THAT DAY IF I COULD WAIT A BIT WHILE HE FINISHED ANOTHER PATIENT. I HAVE THE SENSE HE MAY HAVE MISSED HIS LUNCH BREAK TO ACCOMMODATE ME. HE MADE AN EXCELLENT REFERRAL FOR ME, ALSO - WITHOUT ME HAVING TO NAVIGATE THE SYSTEM TO FIND A CATARACT EXPERT
