"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.

"Came in twice the past week due to a recent eye issue. I go here for my regular eye checkups but had a different doctor.This time I had Dr. Wayne Jacobs, I don’t really leave reviews regarding healthcare personnel but I’ll make an exception for this one. Dr. Wayne was absolutely amazing, he came in the exam room, knew my case; didn’t have to read on the computer to cram who his patient is and what’s wrong with her no, he did his homework, don’t see that often anymore.He explained everything calmly and clearly , answered my questions with honesty and laid out options and went through each steps to help me with my current eye issue. The only time he would look or get on the computer was when he needed to add new information and for my prescription but, the rest of the time he was explaining everything to me he had the eye contact; not on the computer — that is rare these days. Even walked me out close to the checkout desk, not rushing to get done , and again that is rare these days. I work in Healthcare so I have seen different healthcare professionals and different bedside manners, his is exceptional, what we need more these days. Thank you."
"The Eye Center, located in Bellefonte, PA is a great place for eye care. From the front desk receptionist to the eye technician to the fabulous Dr. Bonnell, everyone takes time to welcome patients and truly show care and interest in them.

This Eye Center is the best, and I highly recommend it to anyone in the area."
"Everyone was very nice and caring and patient with me I love the frames I got and I'm diabetic but they got my prescription just right mifflinburg eye center is great too but I think I'm sticking with the lewisburg one"
"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 ."
"Excellent service and knowledgeable staff. They took pride in keeping my personal information personal. Waited in waiting room for 10 min past my appointment time and in actual exam room 8 min to see the Dr might seem like a long time but as they are always busy I didn’t think it was too terrible. My Dr knows how hard it is for my eyes to adjust after being dilated so has agreed to only do that every other year as long as everything is ok with me and the rest of my eye exam. Hard to find a Dr willing to do that these days. Would highly recommend to others as a good practice to go to. I am not sure what they charge as I have eye insurance I post for through my company."
"Dr. Bonner and the staff were so kind & patient with my daughter. He took the time to explain everything clearly. It was an overall wonderful experience."
"I was very satisfied with my visit to The Eye Center today. I was checked in as done as I arrived. I only waited a few minutes before I was taken back to be examined. I was treated by 2 very courteous professional staff members before I saw the doctor. I saw Dr. Bowen and he examined me. He made me feel very good about my test results. Thank everyone at The Eye Center for your good care."
"First time there and I was pleased with everything . Wait time to see the doctor was great ! Friendly staff . The doctor was well mannered and the place was very clean . Would highly recommend ."

"The Eye Center staff are friendly, organized, and knowledgeable. The facility is clean and comfortable. I was seen for a torn retina that has healed nicely thanks to Dr. Lightman and crew. I’m grateful for the surgery and follow ups."
"Dr Ou is a very intelligent man. His confidence gave me the reassurance that I was in good hands. I love it when a Dr is upfront with me as to what he thinks possibilities may be. Fear creeps in when I wonder what a Dr thinks and my imagination makes it worse than it actually was. Dr Ou's staff is so compassionate and caring."

Dr. Bowen is very friendly, caring and kind. I trust him 100% with my care of my eyes. I'm even willing to drive an hour because I know I'm getting the best patient care. I would also like to say that everyone at the Eye Center of PA all are awesome to deal with their customer. Service is top notch when you have concerns or questions they are addressed immediately."

"Today I had my appointment at the eye center. I was very satisfied with every person I came in contact with. With visit to check in I was greeted with a very personable and capable person. Very pleased how simple everything was. I was then with a very capable young man who reviewed my previous and present information. With each of these people they were very friendly and capable and took time if I had questions. Next I was put in the exam room. There was a nurse there and then the doctor came in. They were very professional and made sure I was aware of what they were doing and put me at ease.

All follow up appointments were very thorough.ADDENDUM:Second surgery on 01.29.26 was completed as efficiently as the first surgery.

"They always have the best to stop and treat you as a human being and not just a patient. I like the personnel especially the doctor who sees me I can't spell his name right sorry"
"Dr. Hartzell is very good at explaining conditions and procedures. Yesterday I had a reaction to an eye drop, and PA Danielle Apuzzio was able to work me in to her schedule. She is brilliant and figured out how to replace my post-cataract eye drops with something that does not cause a negative reaction."
"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!"
"my son was referred here from the emergency room. he came home cross-eyed randomly out of the blue, and after being seen in the ER we were referred there at 8 am the following morning. i arrived a few minutes late because we had a late night at the ER and found out we didn’t technically have an appointment. not to worry! this entire staff was so amazing, helpful, and accommodating. i cannot speak highly enough of dana, the front desk receptionist, and dr. rachel fritz, who somehow realigned her schedule to see my son that morning. turns out, he is far-sighted and his eye muscles were causing his eyes to cross as they worked to hard to have him focus up-close. the nurse who worked with my son before dr. fritz was also amazing- 10/10. he is only 4, so he’d never had an eye exam, and he was a little nervous. dr. fritz and her nurse (i wish i could remember her name!) entertained him and encouraged him during his exam. the nurse also reassured me that i was doing a great job as a mom by bringing him in and getting him evaluated. dr. fritz so nicely explained everything to me on a sleep-deprived brain and allowed me to record what she was saying so i could share with my husband. so thank you, dana (who took excellent care of a frazzled mom), the most amazing and straightforward and caring nurse, and dr. fritz. i am so so relieved and grateful to you all for helping us out despite not being scheduled! thank you, thank you. 5 star service!"

"This was my return visit after two weeks. Another great experience. Even though they were busy,I was checked in very quickly and was back in the eye exam room before my scheduled appointment time. The tech was very friendly. Dr. Jarrett was thorough and efficient. I was checked out quickly and sent over to the area to purchase eyeglasses. They looked up my insurance information so I knew what was covered. They were helpful and friendly. I purchased a pair of eye glasses. No concerns."
"I LOVE Dr. Donnel Appuzio!! I had an eye emergency a year ago and was referred to Dr. Appuzio through the ER. She was extremely thorough and explained everything to me very well! She treated me and talked to me like a friend with genuine concern. She was very helpful in a scary situation for me.I recently had a follow up with her and she treated me the same way. Very friendly and easily related to and explained some of my age related eye issues. I highly recommend her!"

She was able to accommodate my grandmothers walker and quickly got us in for an appt.Only thing I would suggest is the cobblestone walk way for the handicap for walkers etc isn’t real conducive and is a rather rough surface."
"Yesterday I had my aunt there for her after check on her eye from the day b4 cataract removal. Upon leaving, my aunt miss stepped and she fell off the sidewalk. I ran up and yelled for help. Two ladies (employees) came running out to help while a lady inside called 911.The staff stayed with us the whole time till the end and did all they could to help keep my aunt calm.I want to thank them for everything. I don't know thier names ... but ty for being there."

She was training what I believed to be a new employee explaining to him every step. Then I seen Dr Bowen who is just amazing! He genuinely cares about his patients and their concerns."
"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"

"Was seen at the Bellefonte Pa office and this is absolutely the best eye care center. The kindness and care their tech Michelle showed me was beyond amazing."
"My wait time was minimal, and the doctor and staff listened to my questions and concerns. They were professional, courteous, and friendly. I’m sure the check in and check out processes will go more quickly at my next visit when the staff has learned to navigate their new system. I would recommend this practice to family and friends."

"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."
"I was referred to The Eye Center by my pcp for a lesion on my eyelid. It has been quite some time since I've witnessed such over the top, excellent customer care in a medical setting. The waiting area was packed but everything ran smoothly and seamlessly. I saw no stress or rushing around and I did not wait long to be seen.I ultimately had to go to the surgery center and had an unscheduled follow-up back in the office afterwards. Both events went just as efficiently and with genuine care from all staff I interacted with. Very impressive and I highly recommend their office."

I haven't worn them for 15 years and I'm extremely happy with Dr. Hartzell in the eye center, they are extremely professional, kind and courteous there. Thanks again, Glenn Miller"
"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"
"Dr.Jarret, Raven and Michelle were fantastic to work with. I was granted an appointment in a very timely manner. The day of my appointment I was seen promptly at the scheduled time. My needs were met and exceeded by the courteous staff. I left with more information and knowledge about my eyes than I received in decades. Thank you Eye Center!"
"Definitely worth it - I got a quick appt. I did what they told me to do. All went very well and in 1 day after surgery my vision cleared and was so good that I could get rid of my glasses before my other eye was done. I had severe cataract and astigmatism in a otherwise healthy eye. Can't hardly wait to get my other eye fixed. Thank you Dr. Hartzel and the wonderful staff that works there."

"Dr Bowman has the best team - From the time you check in for your appointment to the time you check out everyone is polite and pleasant and always cheerful. I adore Dr Bowman and his team everyone is professional and knowledgeable. I always have some good laughs with them and appointments are not my favorite things to do "
"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!"
"I have been going to The Eye Center for 3+ years now and my vision is the best it has ever been. Dr Bonner is very knowledgeable of various options available to patients that have had corneal transplants. I would highly recommend The Eye Center and Dr Bonner to anyone that has had corneal transplants and you have had issues with your contracts."
"Outstanding service, care and expertise. I would never go anywhere else for eye care. My first interaction was over 20 years ago for LASIK and I've been a patient ever since. Highly recommend!"
"It is a pleasure to go to the Eye Center of Central Pennsylvania. The efficiency and competency of the office staff should be noted. The assistant who took care of me prior to seeing Doctor Bonner was excellent. She was well versed In the testing that she performed and proficient. Doctor Bonner is one of the best doctors I have ever had the privilege of seeing. He is kind, patient, and knowledgeable, answering all questions and taking the time necessary to make sure your concerns are addressed. I am grateful to him for the care he provides. Being at the Eye Center is a wonderful experience."
"I was brought promptly into the exam room, and I received a thorough exam. All my questions were answered with care. I would most definitely recommend The Eye Center at Muncy."
"I've been going to the Eye Center for years. Dr Bowen has been treating me for my dry eyes and doesn't just rush me though or give me a prescription that he doesn't feel comfortable with until he can get my eyes stabilized. It's nice to have a Dr that actually cares and listens to his patients concerns."
"I have dry eye syndrome. I have used a LOT of drops. At one point I was using Xiidra and Restasis and Serum tears and plugs all at the same time. I still had trouble . About a month ago Dr. Bowen said I was a candidate for the Umbelical patch. So I tried it. What a difference!! I am over a month out and my eye still feels good. We don't know how long it will last and it will need to be done again but what a difference. I still use the Xiidra and Serum tears but that is ok. Thank you Dr. Bowen!"
"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."
"I highly recommend the eye center. Clean nice staff very friendly. The eye doctor was awesome she's a sweetheart ❤️ she told me what was wrong with my eyes.i will go to them when I need to go for future eye exams!"
"Dr. Bowen is amazing, very knowledgeable and kind. I have been having some scary issues with my eyes, and he has been wonderful! I also appreciate the kindness of all of the staff members at the Middleburg office. Thanks to all!"
"I was able to get an appointment same day for a possible/potential emergency. The staff were very courteous and professional as was the doctor who explained what was going on with my eye."
"The staff at the Eye Center of PA at Muncy are professional, courteous & attentive to each patient. Dr. Bonner is exceptional. His extensive knowledge, engaging demeanor & genuine concern for every patient are truly outstanding."
"Very pleased with time Dr Bonner spent with me and his perseverance in finding out why my vision had worsened over past several months. Thank you so much Dr Bonner."
"I’m always happy with the quality of care given by my doctor at the eye center in Danville. It’s an added bonus that the reception desk person is so pleasant and makes my day."
"Everyone was polite and professional. Abby was very thorough with my examination and answered all my questions. My insurance was explained in detail, what it covered and the cost. Great experience!"
"The staff at LewisbURG Eye Center are very helpful in assisting with your appointment needs - along with Dr Bowen expertise and willingness to share his knowledge relative your particular need(s) . I give this health care practice 5 stars"
"Everyone is friendly. Dr Hartell always takes time to listen to you and asks you if you have any questions before he leaves the room. I like that. Most doctors seems like they only half listen to you."
"Most perfect prescription glasses every time, Dr Bonnell is the best. I had prescriptions made at 3 other places in State College area over 6-7 years, and all of them were not quite right. I am glad I found Dr Bonnell!"
"I am very happy with The Eye Center of Central PA in Williamsport. The doctor, the technicians, the staff who helped me pick my frames, and the folks who checked me in and out-- all very helpful and personable. Plus they had Halloween candy. 😊"
"Dr. Bonnell and her staff are professional and welcoming. The examination was thorough with everything carefully explained The office space is neat, bright and clean with much attention to Covid safety. Everything was on time. I highly recommend the Eye Center services in the Bellefonte, PA, office."
"The receptionist(s) are always pleasant and friendly. This makes a big impression upon entering the office. I have great trust in what Dr. Hensel tells me to do for my own sake. I am very happy being a patient in this office."
"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."
"Good people working here. Dr. Abby is honest and professional. She connects with her patients in a way that makes you feel comfortable and appreciated. I travel past a half dozen eye doctors to patronize The Eye Center and won't be changing a thing. BTW, pizza is always welcome :)"
"I have gone here my whole life. People there are amazing. I see a lot of complaints about wait times but I’ve never had a big problem and if there was they warn us about the wait ahead of time."
"I had a great experience at The Eye Center in Lewisburg. The staff was great. They have COVID precautions in place including shields, social distancing and mandatory masks. The waiting room is spaced far enough apart that I felt comfortable. The staff who got me ready for the doctor were professional and very kind. Brenda did a great job! The doctor explained what was happening and we made a plan for some testing. I’m usually pretty anxious in a doctor’s office, but this experience was great."
"I’ve been a patient of their Lewisburg office for over 10 years and have always had excellent care. Have worked with Dr. Hensel for most of that time. I wear glasses and contacts. My prescription is pretty strong. My kids have seen both Dr. Fritz and Dr. Bowen and trust their visual health with them. Great people in the optical department. Love the glasses."
"I couldn't be happier with the results I have had with The Eye Center of Central PA and Dr. Hartzell. This is the only place I've gone for vision care for between 15 and 20 years. In the past year I had an enhancement done to one eye and my vision is excellent, I couldn't be any happier. The staff is friendly and always answers any question I ask. The wait time is normal. I highly recommend The Center of Central PA."
"Having cataracts in both of my eyes had affected my vision over time so much that it was hard to do anything in my daily life. It was also getting very bad driving at night from all the bright lights affecting my vision even more going to and from work. A friend had recommended this eye center so we called and made an appointment and met with Dr. Hartzell. He explained what was going on with my eyes and we began preparations for my surgery. The entire staff was very helpful through the whole process and made things go smoothly. Both surgeries went very well and my sight had improved so much just after 24 hours and kept getting better! Thank you to the great staff for being so helpful and special thanks to Dr. Hartzell for removing my clouded vision and bringing back the wonderful colors and sight back into my life! I can now see very clearly with no issues!Thank you,Iba C."

"Bonney in the optical shop was very helpful in assisting me to find the right pair of glasses. I’m very hard to fit but Bonney kept trying until we found the perfect frames. I would have given a 5-star rating but she made an error figuring the cost of my glasses. She called me to let me know but the glasses ended up being $100 more than she originally told me. Other than that, my experience has been great so far."
"When I arrived at the Eye Center in Lewisburg, I received a thorough exam and then met with Dr. Hartzell. At that time, I had uncorrected vision of 20/400 (that's legally blind) with cataracts that further diminished my vision. Due to three prior retina tears, Dr. Hartzell outlined what he thought would be the safest plan for me. I met with several technicians after that who went over in detail exactly every step in a three month program - and I received a book with information and phone numbers and a precise schedule. Through the measurements, left and right eye surgeries and weekly follow up appointments, I have been met with helpful and courteous people who exhibited the highest level of caring and professionalism. As I type this review, I don't know where my glasses are - my last test had my uncorrected vision at 20/15. I can look at a flower and see individual petals and vivid colors. I can look at my dog and see details in his face I've never seen before. How important is your vision? At the Eye Center, they are giving people sight - it's not like rating a coffee shop. These few paragraphs cannot express how grateful I am."
"I love this practice! Dr Hartzell and his staff are excellent. I don't have to wear glasses for the first time in 20 years. The follow up to my surgery was first class. I have never had to wait and their staff has always been courteous and professional. I am taking my 87 year old mother there this week. I recommend them to all my family and friends who need eye care."
"When I came to the Eye Center of Central PA in 2016, it was a scary situation. I am a graphic artist by trade, so I need my eyes to earn a living. Both of my eyes were failing due to very aggressive cataracts... My vision turned so poor, so quickly that I could no longer drive, read a magazine or use a computer! Even something as simple as watching TV had become nearly impossible. My entire world was a blur, like looking through Saran Wrap. Dr. Hartzell and his entire staff were very assuring, comforting and confident their procedures would help me. Every step of the way they were efficient, organized and completely professional. Their cheerful demeanor before and during my surgeries, and at every follow-up appointment since, has proven I made the right choice for my eye care.The results? For the first time in 50 years, I no longer need glasses! Waking up each day with nearly perfect vision (20/25) is a true blessing in every way. My wife and I thank Dr. Hartzell, his nurses and staff for all their compassionate assistance and care. — James & Lori Wittlich"
