I have been to many Eye Care businesses. I found Hartland Eye Care tops them all. From walking in and being greeted by the most friendly staff, they make you feel like your important and not another insurance claim. The professionalism is top notch! They have a wide variety of glasses to choose from. Dr. Doud really helps you to understand what is going on with your sight, he doesn't try to sell you something you don't need. He truly cares!!!
