Mar 11, 2021
Yeah, Dr. Onken is awesome!!! He explains everything that's happening. My daughter was going to another optometrist and they just couldn't get her prescription right. On her first appointment Dr. Onken got it right. Also, Dr. Onken is friendly and helpful. He's patient with children as well. My daughter was blessed to be able to get this eye doctor. Thanks again ????????
