"Dr. Halfpenny has taken care of the eye health of my husband and myself for the past 8 years. She is thorough, compassionate and a skilled surgeon. She and her entire office team have always treated us like family. I would recommend her and her office to anyone!" MK

"Dr. Halfpenny was able to treat a recurrent eye infection that I suffered from for over 3 years. I really felt that she listened to my symptoms and explained my condition in ways that I could understand. I cannot thank her enough for helping me feel better and, most importantly, for restoring my vision." LS
