    She was booked way out so the wait to my actual appointment was longer than I expected, but she was worth the wait! Will be seeing her again in a couple of weeks. Very satisfied with our experience.

    My problem was not straightforward, and Dr. Conley could have taken shortcuts, but she didn't.

    She is so kind. And the way she interacts with my daughter makes her feel so comfortable. She doesn’t talk around my daughter but talks to her.

    While never ideal to see a specialist for any particular issue she was very caring and reassuring. I understand that as a specialist Dr. Conley had multiple patients at roughly the same time. It didn’t feel as though we were neglected because of it. Very professional!

    Jestine, who took care of us first, was wonderful—patient with our three year old, took time to explain things to him, answered my questions. The woman in the movie room while waiting for our son’s eyes to dilate was also lovely, as were those who brought us from room to room. Our visit with Dr.Conley was very clinical and super quick—not maybe 5 minutes. I didn’t feel like she acknowledged much—just a speedy exam with more interaction with the other dr/resident than with our son or with me. That aspect felt very impersonal. She wasn’t unpleasant, but it seemed like she was in a hurry, which I don’t love when we get charged as much as we do for a visit. :/
