Office Visit
Apr 07 2026
"I had a late afternoon appointment in Bellefonte. During that visit I had the pleasure of watching one of your employees going above and beyond their job to help a patient. It was the person who worked the front desk (I don't know her name) who helped an elderly patient who had locked her keys in her car. She not only helped the lady get in contact with the police, but she additionally lent her jacket to her so she could stay warm while she waited for police to arrive and open the car door. It is not often you see someone so willing to help."
"Dr. Lightman and his staff are very thorough and caring! Dr. Lightman always reviews the findings of his exam and clearly states what his plans are for upcoming visits. Excellent care!!!"
"I get an eye exam yearly at the Eye Center of Central PA in Lewisburg. All of the staff there are very caring , friendly and efficient. They will keep your eyes in great shape or help relieve any issues you may be having with your eyes."
"The Eye Center at Bellefonte is always a pleasant experience. Professional, friendly staff and a highly knowledgeable doctor. Dr Bonnell always explains everything thoroughly and plainly. She is an excellent caring doctor. Highly recommend!"
"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 donโt really leave reviews regarding healthcare personnel but Iโll make an exception for this one. Dr. Wayne was absolutely amazing, he came in the exam room, knew my case; didnโt have to read on the computer to cram who his patient is and whatโs wrong with her no, he did his homework, donโt 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 โ 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. Dr. Bonnell is a gifted individual. She remembers conversations from previous visits, clearly explains all procedures and issues, and provides excellent suggestions for continued health of the eyes. 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 didnโt 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."
"The Eye Center is fantastic ! Wy wife, Beverly had cataract surgery on both eyes. Dr. O is great ! The complete staff in Allenwood was awesome. The staff in Northumberland and Dr. Verna was awesome ! Donnel and Zoey and the staff, in Lewisburg are all amazing ! Everyone at the Eye Centers are all very caring people. Keep up the wonderful work you do. ๐John Eisenhower"
"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 ."
"I visited the Bellefonte office! Super kid friendly staff! Treated my kid with the upmost respect! Would definitely recommend! Vision test went great!"
"Just had my annual eye checkup at The Eye Center, Muncy, PA. Dr. Bonner is personable and professional. Always answers my questions and I leave knowing heโs got my back, well, eyes in this case. Youโll love this place."
"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. Iโm 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."
"Everybody from the front desk to everyone we saw was very pleasant helpful I would highly recommend that office to anybody. Denelle was extremely awesome. Donโt like doctor visits too much but I absolutely loved going there."
"This is for the Muncy Eye Center and Dr Bonner.Very thorough professional Eye exams. I really appreciate Dr Bonner's concern and knowledge about ophthalmology and my specific Eye issues. He never misses a thing!"
"I was treated with such professional respect, attention, and care at my eye exam by the entire staff that I believe it was probably the most comprehensively thorough and satisfying optical appointment that I have ever had. I have to compliment them too about the much better than average selection of frames that they have available."
"I have posterior vitreous detachments And I have severe near sided vision, and my prescription is very strong. Dr. Bowen and his nurse Gianna go above and beyond to make sure all my questions are answered, They are very patient and detail oriented and they explain things to you in a way that you'd understand everything that is going on with your eyes. 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."
"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!"
"Dr Wayne and all of the staff are the absolute best! They helped me through some issues caused by contacts and helped me get in for a lasik surgery. I will be coming here from here on out for any eye related care."
"I could not be more pleased, the receptionist, the nurses, all the ancillary staff, the Pa-c, Dr Onishi, and the anesthesiologist Drew were informative, kind, patient and I can be more pleased with the results of my cataract surgery"
"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. I am very impressed how smoothly this appointment went and how if I had questions they were answered right away. Thank you for making me feel comfortable and being so caring and kind. I am very pleased whenever I have an appointment. Thank you for your professionalism and making things easy."
"After my surgery that went really well, about a year and a half later I was experiencing some issues...Wayne took a look and everything was still good. Turns out it was dry eyes that needed drops...started doing them and my eyes are more relaxed.. kudos for your help."
"Always very pleased with the Eye Center. Everyone is very friendly and makes you feel and Dr. Jarret is very friendly and thorough. I recommend it highly!"
"Great experience. Inititial appointment and the first eye surgery 01.12.26, was completed within weeks of each other. All of the involved personnel at the Danville,Pa, Allenwood, Pa and Williamsport, Pa locations were professional but also pleasurable to work with.Dr. ONISHI didn't rush through the examinations, and by the outcome of the first eye surgery, proved to be extremely competent. All follow up appointments were very thorough.ADDENDUM:Second surgery on 01.29.26 was completed as efficiently as the first surgery. It's like a breath of fresh air with having all medical personnel being extremely pleasant and having genuine concern for the patient.On the follow visit, Dr. ONISHI once again covered all facets of procedure.I have recommended Dr. ONISHI and the EYE CENTER to my family and friends."

"Great experience. Inititial appointment and the first eye surgery was completed within weeks of each other.

All follow up appointments were very thorough."
"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 didnโt 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 heโd 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!"
"Dr. Bonner and staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, not to mention outstanding from a professional standpoint while evaluating my vision issues!"
"My husband is a self employed welder and when he got metal in his eye, these folks got us in quickly. They were friendly and efficient. I highly recommend them for any and all eye-related concerns."
"Great staff at this location. Very professional and helpful with any issues that I may have. Thumbs up to Dr. Bonner and front desk associate Betty Kensinnger."
"I see Dr. Hansel for my eye care at the Shamokin Dam Office Eye Care Center. He is thorough and attentive. He takes time to explain and answer my questions. Iโm satisfied with my visit today."
"Dr. Bonner is the best eye doctor in the area! He knows my eyes, and he is very intuitive. I appreciate everyone at the Eye Center. Betty is awesome! Thank you for a great visit today, Ryan!"
"The staff there are very knowledgeable and very friendly to talk to. I have another appointment soon and instead of me going to my local location, Iโm going back to the Lewisburg location."
"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 !!!"
"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."
"Everything runs like a well oiled machine. Everyone is friendly."

"Excellent eye surgeon - On October 1st 2025, I had my first of two Cataract Surgeries performed by Dr. Scott Hartzell at The Eye Center of Central PA. Dr. Hartzell is at the top of his game. I believe Dr. Scott Hartzell is a doctor who is at the top of his game. Thank you Dr. Hartzell!!! I highly recommend this eye surgeon."
"Wonderful caring office staff! They are dedicated to the eye health of their patients! Connie the office manager is wonderful! 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 isnโt 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."
"My mother recently had 2 cataract surgeries done at this location. Dr.Onishi and the entire team at the Eye Center are incredible and deserve all the praise. From the girls at the front desk to everyone in the back I canโt thank them enough for taking such wonderful care of her. Everyone is knowledgeable, empathetic and very professional. Thank you all for turning a scary experience into a good one."
"The front desk is welcoming, with pleasant staff. Misty took me back to do my field test was very professional. The next staff member took me to my exam room and performed my pressure test and eye test was also very professional. 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"

"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."
"Great Work, Very Kind, and makes sure you know what they are treating you for, if itโs for The effects of your diabetes are something else they make you feel very comfortable. I give them five stars plus."
"Dr. Bradley is an outstanding doctor. He truly cares for his patients and goes the extra mile! He has my dry eye problem under control. I couldn't be happier โบ๏ธ."
"Dr. Gonzales is the best. She is patient, kind and thoughtful. Many doctors rush through the process, but she ensures you get the correct lens that suits your eyes. Ladies at the front desk are wonderful too. Very kind and helpful."
"First off I want to say I was there on the wrong Tuesday. I brought my mother in as she was having problems with her eyes instead of us waiting another week they squeezed us in from the time we got there to the end of the visit was smooth sailing, and everybody was very professional. Dr. Hartzell was very nice and professional. He explained what was going on with my motherโs eyes and made his recommendation. I highly recommend Dr. Hartzell and team."
"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. Iโm 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."
"From the time I first walked into the Eye Center months ago, I have had nothing but great, friendly service. The Lewisburg office staff were great and Conimarie was wonderful in explaining everything related to insurance. I had eye surgery yesterday, and Dr. Hartzell and his staff at the Allenwood office were AMAZING! I went for my follow up in the Williamsport office, and again, excellent service! I cannot wait to get my 2nd surgery in two weeks and never wear glasses again! I highly recommend this place!"

"Dr. Bonner was very personable and friendly and got to the bottom of what I thought was a challenging eye problem. His assistant who checked me in and gave me the basic function tests was pleasant to talk to and professional in her manner.I was impressed with Abby in the optical department. In a world of complacent, bored young people serving clients and customers, Abby stands out.She is friendly and upbeat, efficient and willing to go to extra effort on my behalf. Her kindness and attitude make all the difference.I was very happy with my visit. I feel confident in everyone I met."

"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."

"Easy to make an appointment. My glasses broke and I was due for another exam. I opted for the โvirtual kindโ at the office where you go through the data collection process with a tech who then submits all the data to the doc. Tech was super sweet and kind. Virtual doc was helpful and prescription was accurate. Purchased contact lenses at this location using insurance. Took my eyeglass prescription with me to purchased frames and lenses elsewhere. I am grateful for the services offered and the kindness and professionalism of the staff."
"They have been really good to me and very nice. I would definitely come back here if needed. Thank you all at the eye centers and have a great holiday! Kate"
"Dr Lightman explains all the procedures and is very knowledgeable about my eye condition All his nurses are very knowledgeable too All are nice too I would recommend them"
"Dr. Scott hartzell has done wonders with my eyes. I wore Coke bottles for glasses all of my life. I told him if he could just lighten my prescription I would be extremely happy. He worked on my eyes so well. I don't even have to wear glasses. 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"
"Highly recommend Dr Hartzell - Very happy I can see again out of my right eye he did yag laser on it. Dr Hartzel is the best in the state of PA . I highly recommend him. My son drove me there it took us a little over 3 hours to go there one way . Dr. Hartzel is the only one I trust so glad my sister recommended him to me and on the plus side I got to go home for a short visit to see my sister and brother in law. Thank you Dr Hartzel "
"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!"

"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!"
"Excellent doctor who cares. - A wonderful doctor that listened and help resolve my questions and concerns. Made me feel at ease and welcomed to have my eyes checked. Thank you."
"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."

"I think Dr. Bonnell in Belfonte is an awesome eye doctor. She has helped me so much with my eyesight to get it better and she didn't stop until she did. If there's anything such as a raise for her, she deserves it. Tell her L.C. said so it took her a quite a while to get my eyesight to where it was bearable and not depressed about my vision."
"They are the best. There is no rushing you to get through your appointment. Very helpful with helping you choose the right frames for you. Everyone there is polite and helpful."
"Dr Hartzell and the rest of his staff have been extremely nice and informative. I wish I wouldโve gone to the eye center sooner instead of going to Geisinger and judging from the conversations in the waiting room, Iโm not the only one that feels this way!"
"Dr.Gonzalez is great! She is attentive and caring. Our family has benefited greatly by coming here. Every "eye care" need is addressed promptly,and we go home with the correct glasses every time! My kids love that the staff is friendly and make the process pleasant!"
"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!"
"The receptionists and technicians were great! Very professional and friendly. Dt Hartzell was very professional and knowledgeable about my condition. I would highly recommend this place."
"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 โค๏ธ she told me what was wrong with my eyes.i will go to them when I need to go for future eye exams!"

"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!"
"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 Iโm 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"
"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."
"I had my first appointment today. It was perfect. I was taken right away. Everyone was nice and friendly. They were very thorough and explained things well. It was just a matter of a few minutes between the preliminary exam and seeing the Dr. I'm really picky and impatient and there was not one thing I can complain about."
"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. ๐"
"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."
"First time here and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Staff at front desk was friendly and quick to check me in as a new patient. My wait time was nothing compared to what you normally expect at any doctorโs office. Once I was in the back, my exam was quick and easy. One of the quickest eye exams Iโve ever gotten. Will definitely make this my new eye place."
"Have been seeing Dr Bonner for several years. Exams are always thorough and explanations and instructions are clear. Always takes the time to answer questions. Visits never seem rushed and I always feel I have his full attention. Couldn't ask for more or better. Excellent support staff as well."
"Always extremely thorough eye exams and explanations of issues. ย My doctor and the staff are always very pleasant and kind. ย My glasses are always a great fit and always perfect for correcting my vision issues - they always make sure they are exactly right!"
"I've always find the staff to be friendly and courteous. The quality of the eyewear is great and reasonably priced. I only wish they were open more days/hours."
"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."

"Dr Jarrett is wonderful. Explains everything and is friendly."
"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 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!"
"from the moment i walked in was impressed with the staff, friendly, helpful, fast...dr bonner was amazing as well as the girls who did my eye testing....EXTREMELY DETAILED EXAM...i loved being able to go straight to order my glasses with a very competent and friendly girl who helped me with choosing the style best fitted for my face...HIGHLY RECOMMEND...FIVE STARS FROM ME"
"Dr. Bonner and his staff are really great. I have never had such a complete and thorough eye exam. Dr. Bonner explained everything he was doing. His staff made me feel welcomed and comfortable. I would highly recommend."
"I recently went to the Muncy eye center for a eye exam and glasses. After my eye exam I went into the Optical to look at frames. Because of Covid only one person at a time is aloud in which I think is better because I had a sales clerk named Kathy. At first I thought she seemed very stressed out but I was wrong. She was very professional and explained all that needed answered. I ordered my new glasses got them but they hurt my bridge on my nose. I called Kathy said come in and sheโll re adjust them. She did but they still hurt my nose so she talked to her manager and called to let me know I could exchange my frames for a lighter pair. I went today and she helped me pick a lighter pair. I should get them in 7 days. I want to thank Kathy for going the extra mile for me. More people should be like her. I sure hope her boss reads this to see that people appreciate a sales person like her."
"Dr. Bonner is excellent! He takes time with me, explains everything, and my prescriptions are always perfect. Scheduling problems, probably due to Covid, are not his fault. My daughter goes to him for eyecare, too"
"I have gone here my whole life. People there are amazing. I see a lot of complaints about wait times but Iโve 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. ย The staff was great. ย They have COVID precautions in place including shields, social distancing and mandatory masks. ย The waiting room is spaced far enough apart that I felt comfortable. ย The staff who got me ready for the doctor were professional and very kind. ย Brenda did a great job! ย The doctor explained what was happening and we made a plan for some testing. ย Iโm usually pretty anxious in a doctorโs office, but this experience was great."
"Iโve been a patient of their Lewisburg office for over 10 years and have always had excellent care. ย Have worked with Dr. Hensel for most of that time. ย I wear glasses and contacts. ย My prescription is pretty strong. ย My kids have seen both Dr. Fritz and Dr. Bowen and trust their visual health with them. ย Great people in the optical department. ย Love the glasses."
"The very best in the state of PA. Saved my sight. Would not trust anyone else with my vision. Great Surgeon and took less than an hour from the time I check in until the time my wife and I walked out. Love the staff in Allenwood. They make this easy."
"Always have wonderful experiences at the Eye Center of Central Pa! Staff are very friendly and accommodating, and Dr Jerry Hensel is very knowledgeable!!!"
"I started to see Dr. Hensel years ago when he was employed by another company. I followed him to The Eye Center as he was always thorough and courteous. I have been very happy with the care I have received from this office and plan to continue to be a patient."

"Was in the surgery center side of building. My son had to have a procedure with his ears. Very nice people for the most part. My son was still trying to wake up from being put out. I felt a little pushed to hurry up and get him out. Other than that, great place with caring people- for the most part"
"Came here for my eye and contact lens exam and my 5 yo sonโs first eye exam. Dr Bonner was fantastic and so were all of the staff. My son actually had fun and didnโt worry a bit. Iโm one of โthoseโ that hates anyone messing around near my eyes and he was so great, I really wasnโt uncomfortable. Had to bring my glasses back, after my 2 yo tried to clean them for me and bent them into the strangest shape. The technician had no problem fixing what I was sure was unfixable. Itโs been 2 months and theyโre still holding strong. Only thing that stinks about this location is there minimal hours."
"I have had excellent care from Dr. Walmer and the staff for years. On one occasion I needed a same day apt and this was accommodated. I do agree that after 11AM the wait times are quite long, but the care is excellent!"
"The optometrists are very friendly and they go through a lot of questions to make sure you're getting the correct eye care. They work with a lot of insurances. Their products are good. My only complaint is the lady who works in the glasses part is not always very friendly. Also, my glasses got scratched and they are supposed to be scratch resistant, so I called because they are under warranty and had a lot of trouble getting replacements. This part was ridiculous."
"Courteous, respectful staff! Dr. Henzel is terrific! He quickly diagnosed an eye infection and issue with my previous prescription when I started coming to this office years ago. I haven't gone anywhere else since then!"
"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."

"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."
"Dr. Bechtel is so nice and thorough, and Janice is so very nice and speaks very clearly so people can actually hear what is being said to them. Very much appreciated!"
"Dr. Hartzell is a miracle worker as far as I'm concerned! In just 2 years my eye sight had gotten extremely bad. I couldn't read anything without glasses. I wanted lasik surgery to eliminate glasses and correct my bad vision. My night vision was also terrible, it was like everyone had their high beams on. After my eye exam I found out I had cataracts. I never expected that! I was very scared about surgery. Every one there was so kind and professional. Dr. Hartzell removed the cataracts and my sight is unbelievable!!! I actually read my fortune cookie at PF Changs and amazed my family. I would encourage anyone thinking eye surgery to call the Eye Center and ask for Dr. Hartzell!"

I wanted lasik surgery to eliminate glasses and correct my bad vision. My night vision was also terrible, it was like everyone had their high beams on. After my eye exam I found out I had cataracts. I never expected that! I was very scared about surgery. Every one there was so kind and professional. Dr. Hartzell removed the cataracts and my sight is unbelievable!!! I actually read my fortune cookie at PF Changs and amazed my family. I would encourage anyone thinking eye surgery to call the Eye Center and ask for Dr. Hartzell!"
"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."

"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."
"Everyone I came into contact with was super friendly. Especially the lady who helped me choose my glasses and make an affordable decision, I may have taken an hour of her time being so indecisive but she was very patient and very kind! They also have a great selection of premium eyewear. It was my first visit with them but happy with how it went. Would reccomend!"
"Bonney in the optical shop was very helpful in assisting me to find the right pair of glasses. Iโm 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. โ James & Lori Wittlich"

"An excellent ophthalmologist! I went to Dr Ou for what I thought was macular degeneration but turned out to actually be a hole in the macula in my right eye. After examining my eyes and taking pictures of the retinas in both eyes, Dr Ou described my condition very clearly and answered my questions very knowledgeably. He is very personable and I would highly recommend him to family, friends and anyone looking for a good ophthalmologist."
"I am so impressed with my entire experience . Dr. Ou and his entire staff is excellent."

"Had Raindrop surgery, was totally straightforward with procedure and expectations of the outcome. Only 5 days since surgery and I have not had to reach for my "cheaters" once since Friday. Outcome for me thus far is actually better than was described to me prior to surgery."

"I had LASIK surgery with Dr. Hartzell and it was perfect. He explains the procedure, and his staff makes the whole process easy. I was thinking of going out of the area, but I'm glad I chose Dr. Hartzell."
"Went for a free consultation and all procedures and options were explained and my questions were answered. Best option was recommended but there was no "high pressure". Yesterday was surgery day for my first eye and today is the first time in forever I am working without glasses. Very pleased with Dr. Hartzell and his staff."

"I absolutely love coming to this place! The Optometrist is super sweet and kind. When calling the number, the number is a little confusing- the person whom always answer is very rude when I would ask basic questions. Overall, the experience over at the area is great!"
"Dr. Hartzell and the staff at the Eye Center have been wonderful throughout my eye treatment. Dr. Hartzell had previously performed successful surgery on my son so I knew I could count on excellent care. "

"Very professional from the Eye Doctors through all the staff. You can tell they did this before. Great experience. I have a condition in my one eye that requires a visit every 6 months. I have always been impressed with the care I received."
