Patient Reviews
Apr 24, 2024
This was my first time visiting Takle Eye Group. I was received by a very friendly front desk staff. My technician Taylor was also very friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Takle was very friendly, professional and has a great understanding that patients may need extra time and attention to make sure they fully understand everything about the appointment. I would have no trouble referring family, friends and neighbors to the doctor and Takle Eye Group!
