My ophthalmologist from Palm Coast made the appointment for me. Dr. Dunn was very informative plus answering all my questions. He also recommended a very nice optometrist for some new glasses.

Charlene Daytona Beach, March 2019

The office was welcoming and very clean. The staff was very attentive and informative. Dr. Dunn put me at ease with the procedure. My 1st time here - I am seasonal - but all was great and I will continue.
