Dr. Irvine’s nurse was extremely very nice. We need to figure out a way to get Dr. Irvine to talk more. Actually he’s nice but a man of few words. A really great overall experience.

In need of an extensive eye examination, I scheduled an appointment with MECA, hoping to establish a plan for improving my vision. Mission accomplished! A close friend suggested I see Dr. Vestal. So glad I did. Have procedures scheduled for near future and could not be happier with the way I was treated from start to finish and out the door from my initial assessment! Each technician and my provider were courteous, knowledgeable and gained my complete confidence! Looking forward to the days ahead and this process of vision improvement. Thank you!! MECA!! With Gratitude, DS Morton

Dr. Wertheimer is great! He cares about his patients, and he takes time to explain the problem and his plan to fix it. I credit him with saving my vision. The staff at MECA is great. They are kind and helpful. I feel like they truly care about their patients, and they respect me and my time when I am there for an appointment. I have never had to wait for the excessive amounts of time like I have heard about people waiting at other retina specialists. I highly recommend Dr. Wertheimer and MECA!

Dr Freeman is the best hands down. In just one visit he gained my confidence in his ability to help with a persistent issue I’ve been having for several months. I’m confident with his help I’ll be seeing the brighter side of things again soon😁. His lead tech is also very knowledgeable and was very helpful. Thank you MECA!!!

I had the absolute best experience. I let the people at the front desk know that I was crunched for time, they certainly helped me manage my expectations regarding my wait time however inevitably I was called back 4 minutes before my appointment time. And was out of there in 30 minutes. Everyone I engaged with was pleasant and helpful. And Dr. Vestal was just delightful, he didn’t seem to be hurried or impatient with any of my questions, and made me feel very comfortable.
