April 20, 2017

New Location in Jupiter, Florida Opening Soon!

We are proud to announce that due to our remarkable growth in Palm Beach County, we are soon opening a new location in Jupiter, FL. In addition to our main location in West Palm Beach, we will continue to offer the same friendly service at our new address on 601 University Blvd (corner of Military Trail and University Blvd), which will allow us to offer an even larger selection of products and services. This new office will offer a more convenient location for our north Palm Beach residents. We invite you to follow our journey as we get our new location ready and open for business!

And oh yes, our phone number is still the same: 561-500-EYES (3937).

2017 is set to be another year of rapid expansion at Mittleman Eye. We look forward to sharing our journey and the latest developments of our new Jupiter location. Stay tuned and subscribe to our blog today to get the latest news and updates.

Take a look at the photos below to follow our progress on the construction of the new location.
