"I had cataract surgery which was performed by Dr. Hartzell. This was my final appointment to check the outcome of my procedure. This appointment was with Dr. Bonner. I would highly recommend The Eye Center. Very professional but also personable and caring. Dr. Bonner takes his time when he examines my eyes. I think he enjoys his work. My vision is improved to the point that I only need glasses for reading."

"Dr Hartzell and the rest of his staff have been extremely nice and informative. I wish I would’ve gone to the eye center sooner instead of going to Geisinger and judging from the conversations in the waiting room, I’m not the only one that feels this way!"
