Dr. Livia’s politeness & patience quickly alleviated my anxiety

“For many reasons, most people would not expect a great experience from visiting a doctor or clinic, but the excellent service and professionalism of Dr. Livia and her team stand out from the rest. Dr. Livia’s politeness & patience quickly alleviated my anxiety. I am also very impressed by her gentle, yet professional way of handling her patients (based on my observation). The two optometrists who conducted vision tests on me were also friendly & gave clear instructions (in a nice & unhasty tone) for each test. Even the counter staff who assisted me was polite. I’m not a VIP, but I was treated with respect and care that makes me feel like one.”
