Dr. Compton and the staff have ALWAYS treated me like I was the only patient in the clinic. They give me their total undivided attention and listen to everything I have to say. If there is a problem, it's taken care of immediately. I've been a patient of this eye clinic for over 20 years! I wouldn't go anywhere else.
