“Visiting Family Eye Care, and specifically Dr. Woodmansee has honestly been a life-changing experience. Not only do they provide the best patient interaction that I have experienced form an optometrist, but they are also truly concerned for the patients’ well-being.
“Several years ago during a routine visit, Dr. Woodmansee advised that I receive follow-up care for a ‘suspect’ area in the back of my eye. Upon review by another physician, it was recommended that I “wait and see,” an answer that Dr. Woodmansee did not feel was accurate. He basically required that I see another physician. Three weeks later I was in Philadelphia for a cancer consult. It was caught early.
