Really grateful for Dr McKay's care. I had an thorough eye exam here in Devonport and he explained everything clearly, including options for glasses and contacts. The staff were friendly, and I left with a great plan for my dry eyes.
Excellent service at Devonport Eye Hospital. Dr McKay took his time diagnosing my eye infection and prescribed the right treatment. Felt confident knowing I could call if I had any issues after the visit.
I went in for a routine eye exam and ended up getting tips on contact lenses that suit my lifestyle. The doctor spoke in plain English (and a bit of pidgin) so I actually understood everything. Highly recommend.
Very pleased with the care at 62 Oldaker Street. Dr McKay didn’t rush and answered all my questions about dry eye management. He helped me pick the right glasses and I’ve noticed a real improvement.
Friendly staff and a thorough eye exam. I appreciated the clear advice on eye infections and how to look after my eyes at home. Great experience in Devonport.
Dr McKay was patient and professional. He explained my prescription options for glasses and offered practical tips for comfortable wear. Felt well cared for from start to finish.
I came for a routine check and left with a solid plan to manage dry eyes. The clinic was efficient, and I appreciated being given several suitable lens options. Would recommend to others in TAS.
