A sweet surprise for Dr. Goslin ✨

One of our young patients shared their artistic talents and made this special drawing just for her. Moments like these remind us why we love what we do—caring for families and building relationships that go beyond eye care.

Thank you to our patients (big and small!) who brighten our days in so many ways.
