At Smart Eye Care, we are proud to serve every patient with expertise, compassion, and recently, extra support from a four-legged friends.
This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming a patient, along with her loyal service dog. He stayed close through her entire visit, offering support and as our patient was carefully examined by Dr. Rubinchik. I was fortunate enough to be tasked with holding the dog — quickly becoming the highlight of my day!
At our office, we recognize the vital role service animals play in our patients' lives, and we are always happy to accommodate them.
