I've read many good things about Doctor Fredrick Smith on Murray.
His eye check ups are $38 to other "real" doctor's >$50, so I went 
to him.

The man is an animal. After providing me with what seemed to be a
very through check up the man went crazy trying to sell me things.
He was unpleasant, neurotic, and insulting. My feeling is that with
an optometrist there is an essential conflict of intrests--go
to an opthomoligist--they rip you off so much for the check up
that they don't feel a need to make you buy something too.
