I've been going to Abba EyeCare at the Woodman location for the past 6 years, and I can't say enough... good things about the care I've received. Dr. Garwood is absolutely fantastic—professional, knowledgeable, and always takes the time to explain everything clearly. I never feel rushed during appointments, and it's obvious that she genuinely cares about his patients’ eye health. The staff at this location are consistently friendly and efficient, and the entire office runs like a well-oiled machine. From scheduling to exams to picking out glasses, the experience is always smooth and stress-free. After 6 years, I can confidently say that I wouldn't trust my vision care to anyone else. Highly recommend Abba EyeCare and especially Dr. Garwood!
