"I have had my eye condition for over 20 years and have had a million different eye doctors. Most of them were fantastic, including a amazing doctor from John's Hopkins. However, Dr. Tarver is easily the best doctor of them all. Her bedside manner and professionalism is top notch, she is so incredibly smart and really knows how to connect the dots. She did the most comprehensive assessment I've ever had and you can tell she is trying to get to the root cause. I walked away feeling truly grateful that I found Dr. Tarver and have peace of mind that I am in good hands."

"Very professional. Timely service from sign-in, to technicians and doctors. I’ve seen a few doctors in this practice and all have provided excellent service to include Dr. Solomon, himself. Dr. Tarver is my regular practitioner and she is excellent especially if you have outlier conditions that affect your eyes. I am very pleased with Dr. Tarver. I like the “vibe” of Dr. Solomon; he is a man after my own hear when it comes to the ‘70’s music, “and the beat goes on”. Keep up good work!!!"
