Patient Reviews

Dr. Rosenthal as well as his staff, are always so kind, courteous, compassionate, extremely knowledgeable, and very patient. Child and Family Vision Center located at 2525 N. Ankeny Blvd., Ste # 109 is a very special optometrist office tucked away in the heart of Ankeny. As a 2x stroke survivor, having access to a friendly, intelligent Dr., that believes in having the RIGHT equipment for the eyes (as well as the neurological effects that a Brain Injury can have) when it comes to our desires to get back into driving safely makes ALL the difference. I know how tough it can be having sat in the chairs of 4 different “professionals” until I found the RIGHT Dr. who believes in furthering education as well as reinvesting into his specialized practice. The cleanliness, patients of ALL ages, stages or walks of life, and the ever growing family bond is why we’ve chosen to give our business to them, year after year, even after moving to Adel since they are definitely worth their weight in Gold! Thanks sooo much for everything today Dr. Rosenthal and Miss Simone. “See” You Later!
