Review by Amy O'Shea

Wonderful staff. Caring and communicative after I had something scrape my eye. Dr. Matthew Houck was superb at explaining what was happening with my eye throughout follow-up, and I would recommend him to others. I really appreciated his truly caring demeanor and emphasis on my understanding. Thanks!!

These are some of the best people in the business. They're highly skilled, have always been kind to my entire family, and have great instincts for eye care and for finding perfect frames.

Always a great experience at McDonald optical....close parking, appointments always on time, was able to schedule on my lunch hour. Friendly, fast and professional service as always. I would highly recommend to anyone!

Review by Hillary Maurer

The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. I would have given my experience five stars except the glasses are very expensive. UPDATE: June 12, 2018 I have had my glasses for a couple of months now and I want to say they are absolutely perfect! I fooled around with trying to find cheaper glasses on the internet before going into McDonald and I was very disappointed in the quality of the glasses I ordered that way. The measurements taken at McDonald made all of the difference and my eye are now very happy!

What is a Dispensary?

A dispensary is a store that sells special items or dispenses the specialized items. Cannabis or marijuana dispensariers started in the US some time in the early 1990’s when Dennis Peron opend the San Francisro Cannbis Buyers Club. Back then the cannabis dispensary faced a ton of hardships, but Dennis, his team and dream helped pave the future for all future recreational and medical cannabis dispensaries. In 2014 the first recreational dispensary, 3D Cannabis opened it’s doors in Colorado. As of 4-1-19 33 states have medical dispensaries and 10 states have recreational dispensaries.

At a dispnsary one will find many differnt kinds of cannabis flowers (buds) and concentrates, edibles along with smoking untensils, but have a limited selection compared to online shops like Elev8 Glass Gallery. The dispensary also will have what is called a budtender to help you find what you are looking for. If you need help with cannabis info Elev8 Presents is a good resource.

What is the difference between a medical or recreational dispensary?

In realtiy medical and recreational dispensaries are the same thing. This all comes down to the states laws on cannabis. We feel cannabis is just like alcohol and medical will happen first and then recreational will follow, and so far history is showing this. Dispensaries are an excellent place for patients and recreational smokers alike to find the cannabis that best suits their needs!
