I’ve had multiple exams with Dr. Sherman and have been very pleased. He takes the time to talk through any questions that I have and is very knowledgeable and personable. He has made obtaining a new contact prescription painless and I would not hesitate to see him for any other eye related issues. His office is also very clean and the staff is friendly and professional.

My experience with the whole office was so pleasant! From the cheerful reception, the tech who performed the testing, and Dr. Mark Sherman! All professional and very informative. Highly recommend them. After all losing your sight is a scary thing. They all made me feel as though I was in the best hands!

Dr. Sherman was professional, prompt and courteous. I hadn’t had an eye exam in several years and West Texas Eye made it easy. After a comprehensive check, I had a new prescription for contacts and was out the door. Highly recommend!
