The staff at The Eye Center is top notch! So friendly and respectful. They make you feel appreciated. And Donnel is the absolute best! She spends time with you & never rushes through the appointment. Excellent care!
D. Apuzzio, PA is very thorough. Detected concerns and checked very thoroughly and rescheduled appts for more follow/up. Today had follow-up visit with Dr. Hartzell who confirmed the diagnosis I suspected. Explained next steps. Very thankful for promptly scheduled visit today and discussed appts over next several months and spoke in a caring, thoughtful manner which put me at ease. Staff were very caring. Thank you, Dr. Hartzell and staff!!!
I remember taking my mom to the Eye Center of PA a few years before she passed away. Little did I realize I would be going there myself years later!When my eye doctor diagnosed me with cataracts in both eyes, I did not hesitate to tell him I wanted to go to the Eye Center of Central PA. I remembered how wonderful everyone was to my mom and I can honestly say I was not disappointed with my care over the past 2 months!I highly recommend Dr. Spencer Onishi, along with Donnel Apuzzio, MSHS, PA-C and the staff at the Eye Center of Central PA! From my initial consultation to my 2 cataract surgeries, along with follow-up appointments, their level of care and professionalism was outstanding.Dr. Onishi was so kind and patient as well as highly skilled. He took time to explain every step of the procedure and answered all my questions. He even came to see me before both surgeries! I was so grateful for all his support and advice to help me recover from my surgeries. My vision is so much clearer and I can see without my glasses! I can honestly say, I was at ease throughout the entire procedure.Donnel Apuzzio, MSHS, PA-C was also so kind and caring as she examined me during my follow-up appointments the day after my surgeries. She is very skilled and also took time to answer all my questions, as well as giving me good advice that helped me in the recovery process.Along with Dr. Onishi and Donnel Apuzzio, MSHS, PA-C, I also appreciated the care I received from all the nurses. Everyone was so kind to me and supportive of one another; they are truly an amazing team!Thank you all so much!
