Yearly exam completed! The staff is friendly, efficient, respectful and very professional! Dr. Hicks is very professional and holistic. He provided education with his diagnosis and also preventive care. Vision is a primary function that should be taken care of before, during and post visual issues. Highly recommend SeePort Optometry and I look forward to my next visit!

Dr. Hicks is thorough, professional, and provides great care for our entire family. His staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and is always great with communication and keeping us on track with our appointments. I also like that they are up to date with the latest technology, and I like supporting a local small business.

This was the first time at this office as a new patient. I felt very comfortable and welcomed by the staff and Dr. Hicks. Everyone there was very friendly. I never felt rushed thru with the exam. Very thorough testing.They spend a lot of time with you. I’m so happy to have found them!
