Dr Compton is the first eye physician to actually figure out issues with my vision. At long last the glasses I am buying actually help me see clearly. Beyond that, he is so personable and definitely knows his specialty. We are so blessed to have him in Southwest Virginia.

Dr. Compton is thorough, reviews your records, explains your exam results, and answers your questions. He recommended cataract surgery at the appropriate time and followed up on it. I have been seen by him for at least five years. A fine doc and a reliable clinic.

He was excellent, helped me with my dry eye condition. I am to use warm compresses twice a week on my eyes, used a Q-tip to wipe lower lids. My vision changed a lot. Looking forward to my new glasses. He is kind, explains what is going on, efficient, knowledgeable. I recommend everyone to go see him.
