      Dr. Gire is an excellent doctor who has given me the best care. My eyes have several conditions chief among them dryness which results in other more urgent issues. Dr. Gire started me on daily regimen to reduce the dryness and offer relief. She's gives thorough complete explanations, she's compassionate, warm, and caring. She's the best.

      This was my first appointment with Dr. Gire. She was very kind, thoughtful, professional and thorough. Her explanations helped me to understand why I needed to be referred to another specialist.

      I like Dr. Gire, but at this appointment I felt she had no idea what was happening with my eye...and then prescribed a $75 ointment that wasn't strictly necessary (it was for itching that might have just been allergies and not related to my primary complaint).

      Factory-like atmosphere. Check-in and check-out process is weirdly configured.
