Dr. Crum is definitely the most knowledgeable and skilled optometrist I have ever known. I have had vision problems for years, and my correction is about as complex as it can be. She showed determination to get my vision to 20/20 in a situation where most providers would have given up and persuaded me to settle for mediocre vision.
