    Dr. Dries is compassionate, knowledgeable, and he took the time to answer all of my questions. He gave me treatment options that were practical given that I live out of state. He explained my condition in a way that I could understand. It was definitely worth the drive to have a consultation with Dr. Dries.

    Dr. Dries was quick and very direct, which is highly appreciated when dealing with pediatric patients. He was encouraging about progress and future positive steps for my child's journey with glasses. He is also very good with animal sounds to keep small children focused.
