⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot say enough good things about North Garland Vision Center. My family and I h... ave been seeing Dr. Lorraine Souder for many years, and she has been absolutely amazing. She always takes her time to provide a thorough eye exam, truly listens to my concerns, and makes every visit feel personal and caring. You never feel rushed, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her patients. I am very sad to see her retire, but at the same time, I am so happy for her and wish her the very best — she will be deeply missed! I also want to give a special shout-out to Nic, one of the technicians. He is incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional. I’m always so pleased when he assists me; he really helps make the whole experience positive and comfortable. Thank you, North Garland Vision Center, for years of excellent care! 💙
