"Dr. Onitsha and his staff are outstanding! No matter what office I had an appointment at I was treated with respect. I was worried about having my Cataracts removed, but they put me at ease. I would highly recommend Dr. Onitsha and his staff. They are a blessing."
"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."
"Went in to get my new glasses, lady that waited on me was very nice and professional, I've been coming here for years, this is 3rd pair of glasses I've gotten from here, will continue to get my business, GREAT PLACE!!!"
"I was in dire need of an eye appointment before the end of December 2025 and there was an opening when I called. They got me right in was able to order my bifocals.From speaking to someone on the phone to each one of the ladies that I came in contact with that day and the doctor, They were nothing but wonderful. Even the lady that helped me pick out my glasses right there on site was wonderful! If you want a place that you are not considered just a number but a person this is where you need to be. You won’t be disappointed"
"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."
"Easy to make an appointment. My glasses broke and I was due for another exam. I opted for the “virtual kind” 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."
"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!"
"Always receive prompt and excellent service. Office staff are friendly and caring. Dr Hartzell is professional, knowledgeable and he takes time to explain conditions and procedures. I rate "A" plus overall for the Eye Center."
"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 doctor’s office. Once I was in the back, my exam was quick and easy. One of the quickest eye exams I’ve ever gotten. Will definitely make this my new eye place."
"Always extremely thorough eye exams and explanations of issues. My doctor and the staff are always very pleasant and kind. My glasses are always a great fit and always perfect for correcting my vision issues - they always make sure they are exactly right!"
"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 was in and had my right eye fixed from a cataract they got me in and they are fast now going back to get glasses soon thanks guys and ladies"
"Great exam and glasses are very nice too, had a screw come out and went in and Grace had it fixed in a few minutes!! Thanks so much!!"
"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!"

"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"
