“My two year old saw Dr. Longmuir for the second time today. Very knowledgeable and great with my son.”

— K. R.

“Dr. Longmuir is amazing and truly cares about her patients. My husband has some pretty severe eye issues and she is available to him at a moments notice, even on weekends. I highly recommend her.”

— B. M.

“She was awesome! I found her to be thorough and competent. Best of all, I felt like she cared about my son's well being. I would definitely recommend.”

— T. S.

“My 8 year old son has had a lazy eye and extreme far sightedness since he was 2. We have been to several eye doctors, including an ophthalmologist at Vanderbilt Eye Center (who was very cold, very short, and didn’t give us the information we needed) over the years. We were recently referred to Dr. Longmuir for her opinion on a surgical option for my son. We had done years of patching and glasses. She spent over an hour with us and explained every single detail and every option available. She left no question unanswered. In addition to her in depth detail regarding the medical diagnosis; she was so personable. We ultimately decided to move toward surgery. The surgical procedure was a success and Dr. Longmuir showed extreme care throughout the entire process. She is an ace!!! Best medical experience I’ve ever had and I’m thankful she was the one to take care of my son. Highly recommend her!”
