“I have been going to Moyes Eye Center for 8 years. Dr. Moyes did my cataract surgery and my annual eye exams have been with Dr. V. I have always received excellent care by both doctors. Last month I had some problems with an eye infection and made an appointment with Dr. Nguyen. I was able to get in the next day and Dr. Nguyen was very thorough, listened to all my concerns and I never felt rushed. I recommend this office highly!”
