"Dr. Fritz is professional, thorough, knowledgeable. Takes the time to explain and helps you to understand the examination. "
"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!"
"Bit of a wait but once in for my appointment I was treated professionally and with care. The staff and doctor were attentive and worked to update my prescription. They took their time to get it right. Dr. Fritz does a great job working through lens to zero in on what I needed."
"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."
"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 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 she’ll 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."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
