Dr. Boden and my sons nurse were so great with my son with ASD. Dr. Boden made the exam like a game and my son was grinning EAR TO EAR during the entire process. His nurse was so gentle and understanding of his boundaries even when putting the dilation drops I'm my sons eyes. Can't say enough good things!!

The staff is the best ...and my child is autistic and they handle her well with gentle care ..I will always choose this opthomologisit ..it makes doct visits enjoyable ty

excellent customer service. thank you !!

Dr Boden was amazing! We took our daughter in for eye pain around a birthmark she has on her eye. he was able to find a foreign body stuck under her eyelid. It was a quick fix. He took measurements of her birthmark to make sure it wasnt growing and asked us back in 6 months. Just the thoroughness alone is a 5 star provider!

Great service

Very awesome staff! Very caring and friendly. I was late to my son's appointment because of traffic delays. We live almost 3 hours away and I would have been devastated if they turned us down but they got him in right away and still were willing to see my son for his appointment and was very patient and understanding .

We drive down from Kingman because we have always been impressed with the care we receive here!

Loved the patience and gentleness in voice Dr. Budon had with my grandson. Excellent Dr. would highly recommend him to anyone. Sooo glad we tried a new Dr in this practice.

Very good experience overall.

Dr. Boden called me when I was having issues with my son after surgery and even tho it was all normal he talked me through it no matter what time it was at night and I truly appreciate that. He is definitely great!

Dr Boden was amazing and attentive to my son's needs wasn't pushy or rushing my son through his exam like another Dr did at a different facility. I was very happy with the care he received here.
