"The Eye Center is a totally awesome experience. I had lasik in 2007 and now Light Adjustable Lensplacement after cataract surgery. All of the employees are very knowledgeable and caring."
"At 70 getting new eyes through light adjustable lenses is nothing short of miraculous!! The process delivered from Dr. Hardsel and Dr. Bonner was awesome to say the least. I am free from corrective Len's of any power and have better that perfect vision. The process is tedious and takes time ! BUT sooooo worth the patience that is required to complete the treatment!! I HIGHLY!! recommend this to anyone ready for cataract surgery ."

"I always feel confident in the doctors at the eye center. Dr. Hartzell did my cataract surgery. I cannot believe how clear my sight is. I totally believe the service is at the Eye Center is topnotch!"
"The Eye Center visit after having the Cataract surgery has been excellent! However, today I went to have my eyes checked for glasses that I previously used for better sight. The previous lenses needed changed and when I was told of the price for the new lenses, $525.00, I articulated to the individual if I was purchasing the Washington Monument!"
"Bilateral Cataract surgery was very successful under the care of Dr Onishi. He is very skilled and the process was user friendly Educational, efficient, and effective. At 79 y/o I now have 20/20 vision post op !!!"
"Love the Eye Center - have been going for yearly appts for years. Had my cataract surgery through them--great experience!!"
"I went to the Danville site for consultation. I went to the Allenwood site for cataract surgery. I went to the Lewisburg site for a follow up appointment. From the time I entered each of these locations, I was treated with respect and kindness. The process at each site was extremely organized. Everything was explained very clearly so I was able to understand. They took time to answer any questions I had. I will definitely go back when I have the next eye done."
"The appointments at the eye center have been timely and efficient and the staff is courteous and willing to answer questions. My cataract surgery went smoothly with no complications. I have been pleased with my treatment at The Eye Center."
"The best experience that I have had with eyecare. I asked my eye doctor to refer me to The Eye Center so I could have Dr. Hartzell to do my cataract surgery. Dr. Hartzell did my Mom's cataract surgery years and years ago, so I knew she had great results and that he is the best around. I met with Dr. Hartzell and he said that he could do both eyes, as one of mine was worse than the other. Everyone at the Eye Center answered all of my questions and encouraged me to call whenever I had any. I paid to upgrade my lenses to light adjustable lenses so I would not have to wear glasses, as my vision was bad and wore glasses for 52 years. Dr. Hartzell operated on one eye at a time and I was given UV glasses to wear when in sunlight and indoors. I followed all of the instructions the Eye Center gave me. I had questions after my 1st eye fogged from inflammation and was assured that it was normal and would be clear up by the next day, which it did. After both eyes were done it was time to see Dr. Jarrett to adjust my light adjustable lenses to my preferred vision. Dr. Jarrett set my vision with one eye great for distance and the other eye great to see to read up close. Since both eyes were set for my vision, I have not had to use readers, which I needed before with contacts. I go back to see Dr. Hartzell in a year. I am so happy with my experience with everyone at the Eye Center. I highly recommend Dr. Hartzell, Dr. Jarrett and the Eye Center for cataract surgery! Randy Gill"
"Excellent Physician Providing Excellent Results - Dr. Hartzell spent time with me during my consultation and answered all my questions relating to my upcoming cataract surgery. I have an aversion to things near my eyes and he assured me there would be no issues. When the surgeries came, he was correct. No issues. His facility and his associates are all very professional. I was very nervous and they put me at ease, even prior to the procedures. I highly recommend Dr. Hartzell and have already done so to several individuals in my sphere of influence."
"Dr. Ou did a wonderful job on my eyes! I just picked up my glasses and I'm in 7th Heaven! I appreciate everything. You're always there to take care of me."
"Dear Dr. Ou, Dr. Orren and Donnel Apuzzio,
Thank you for the care given to me before, during and after the cataract surgery. Before I saw you, I had lost a degree of my vision and glare was a considerable problem. After the surgery, my vision is so much better, and life is better being to see. Be well and I hope that 2025 is a great year for all."
"Wonderful results and wonderful people! - I am ore than happy with the results of my cataract surgery. Dr Onishi is great! Staff so friendly. "
"I just had my second eye cataract removed today. I wanted to let people know about my experience. the Surgery Center experience was A+ from check in to discharge both times. The staff was up beat, cheerful and worked as a well oiled team. It ran like clockwork. At no time did I feel stressed or neglected. My outcomes were as I had hoped. Great experience! Kudos to Dr Hartzell and his entire staff. Rick B"
"I just can't express how nice it is to go to an office where everybody is friendly. Everybody smiles. Everybody understands and explains things in a way I can understand. It's just a joy to go there. Everybody smiles. Everybody greets you. Everybody makes you laugh. I love how the office is always happy, smiling, and having fun. The girls down there at the surgery center, they treat you like a person. They explain thing really well. The continually ask which eye, and your date of birth, and I don't care if I have to give it 500 times, it keeps me safe! Everyone is so great! They're always checking on you, asking if you need anything, and if you're okay. And my vision, I couldn't be happier! I can see 500% better! It's a win-win!"
"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."
"Very grateful for Dr Ou and all of the wonderful staff who helped me during my cataract surgery. Dr Ou was very reassuring and thoughtful. I was so very frightened to have the surgery and now I’m so relieved and happy I did. They all did a wonderful job and my eyesight is so very much better. Highly recommend Dr Ou and their services"
"Staff is professional and friendly. My visits and my cataract surgery went wonderfully. Dr Oh was very nice. I opted for just the basic surgery & now have 20/25 vision.They even accommodated me in a polite and professional manner when I was late for one of my appointments. There is a very short wait time. Their optic Center replaced my lenses. They told me an hour and they were done in an hour. I don't know about their other Lewisburg office in downtown Lewisburg as I've never gone there. But the Mifflinburg office is also great."
"I have been going to Dr. Bonner for over ten years. He does an amazing job at doing my eye exams! I also met with Dr. Hartzel about cataract surgery. I feel very confident he will perform my surgery with the utmost precision! I look forward to having improved vision. Thank you!"
"I recently had cataract surgery done by Dr. Hartzell . I worried about the procedure and how it would affect my eye sight. Turned out Dr. Hartzell did an excellent job and now I only need glasses to read. I no longer have to wear my Rx. glasses after so many years. The staff that he has at both Allenwood and Williamsport are by far the nicest medical staff I ever had, in particular Lydia. My wife and I both had surgery and Lydia made everything so easy for us. We owe her a special thank-you for all her hard work and compassion she showed us."
"I have absolutely no complaints about the treatments and the office visits with Dr. Hartzell. I have always been treated very well and very professionally. The cataract surgery went great, and Dr. Hartzell reviewed everything very thoroughly. I'm very happy with the treatment I received at the Eye Center of Central PA. I would recommend him to anyone."
