I am not happy that the Saluda office is closing. I started going there in 2006 when I moved to Saluda County. I chose this practice because I believe in supporting local businesses. Local businesses contribute to the economy of Saluda County with taxes and jobs that keep people living in Saluda. It is a win for Saluda to have this business in Saluda. You are moving the economic, financial and personal benefit to Newberry County. If another eye doctor comes to Saluda I will be transferring to them. I live equal distance from Saluda and Newberry so this is not because I want to stay close to home. Distance will be a factor for many who live in Saluda.
