A Proactive, Personal Approach to Eye Health
We built our practice around the idea that eye care should feel personal, not rushed. Instead of a quick chart check, our doctors take the time to talk with you—about your health history, your family's history, and anything on your mind about your vision. Regular exams aren't just about seeing clearly today; they're one of the simplest ways to stay ahead of health issues before they become bigger problems.

How far is your office from Scarborough?
It's roughly a 15–20 minute drive from central Scarborough to our Biddeford office, depending on traffic and your starting point.
Are you accepting new patients from Scarborough?
Yes. We're currently welcoming new patients from Scarborough and the surrounding Southern Maine communities. You can schedule online, by phone, or by visiting our office during business hours.
What should I expect during a comprehensive eye exam?
A comprehensive exam includes a vision check and a full evaluation of eye health using advanced diagnostic and retinal imaging technology. Our doctors also review your health history, since changes in the eyes can sometimes point to systemic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
Can an eye exam detect health problems beyond vision issues?
Yes. During a dilated or retinal imaging exam, our doctors can examine the blood vessels and optic nerve directly, which can sometimes reveal early signs of conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or other systemic health concerns — often before any symptoms appear elsewhere.
Do you see children for eye exams?
Yes, we provide eye exams for children and can help monitor healthy vision development from an early age.
Do you accept my vision insurance?
