DO NOT GO HERE! PROTECT YOUR EYE HEALTH. Misdiagnosis and extreme lack of care…read more I believe it's important to leave honest reviews, especially when a medical experience has the potential to affect someone's health. Unfortunately, my experience at this office was extremely disappointing and could have had serious consequences for my vision. I went to this office because I had severe eye pain that had been progressively getting worse, along with redness. By the time of my appointment, I was in significant pain and was worried something was seriously wrong. Unfortunately, my experience started poorly from the moment I arrived. The front desk staff ignored me for several minutes. When I was finally helped, the receptionist seemed distracted and was multitasking the entire time instead of giving me her full attention. The delays continued throughout my visit. The technician who was supposed to bring me back spent time talking with coworkers while I waited, despite my obvious discomfort. Once I was finally in the exam room, she spent a considerable amount of time talking about unrelated personal matters instead of focusing on my symptoms so I could be seen by the doctor. I was then sent to another waiting area, where I again waited while staff chatted with one another before I was called back. The most disappointing part of my visit was the doctor's evaluation. Dr. Krulewski spent what felt like only a couple of minutes with me. He barely listened as I described my symptoms, performed only a very brief examination, and quickly diagnosed me with pink eye. I was confused because my symptoms didn't seem consistent with conjunctivitis. As he was leaving the room, I actually had to stop him so I could ask additional questions. He appeared rushed and uninterested in discussing my concerns. I was prescribed antibiotic eye drops and instructed to use them for one week. I followed those instructions exactly. However, shortly after finishing the medication, my eye pain returned. At that point, I sought a second opinion from another eye doctor. I was told that I never had pink eye. My actual diagnosis was uveitis, an inflammatory eye condition that requires completely different treatment. The second doctor explained that I should have begun the appropriate treatment about two weeks earlier. Left untreated, uveitis can potentially lead to permanent vision complications. Needless to say, learning that my condition had been misdiagnosed was both frightening and frustrating. I trusted this office to properly evaluate a painful eye condition, and instead I lost valuable time before receiving the correct treatment. One additional observation that concerned me was hearing another patient in the waiting room express worries that she may have developed an eye infection after a previous visit involving dilation. While I can't speak to her situation, hearing another patient voice concerns about their care added to my lack of confidence in the office. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this practice. The lack of urgency from multiple staff members, combined with what I believe was an incomplete evaluation and an incorrect diagnosis, left me feeling dismissed and could have had serious consequences for my vision. I would strongly encourage anyone experiencing significant eye pain to seek a provider who takes the time to thoroughly evaluate their symptoms.

Less than 2 weeks before surgery at today's pre-op appointment, he noticed some detail that was not addressed in June, stated the case was too complicated after all, and referred us to Penn State. While I appreciate his honesty with his abilities, I really wish he hadn't taken the case to begin with and ultimately wasted our time. I schedule all my father's appointments and provide transportation, so it is very frustrating that we will need to start from square one with another provider.

Cindy, the receptionist/office manager, is clearly the master of her territory - prompt, pleasant, well-versed in the business, as well as kind & welcoming. From my initial phone call of inquiry to my first in-person appointment today, she was friendly, kind & personable. And Dr Kardos is easily the best medical professional I have EVER encountered, across any field. He took the time to explain every test thoroughly to me, telling me what to expect, why the testing was important & how it would be impactful. He is extraordinarily patient, with the kindness & sensitivity one usually only dreams of in a doctor. I learned things about my eyes & general health today that I never knew, as well as how they & other medical conditions can synergistically impact each other. Simply put: after my examination I felt as if I had just started taking a college course on Optometry 101! As I get older I find myself worrying a bit about whether or not - and how - my needs will be met medically. What a relief to know that my visual health needs will be met & exceeded now that I've found Dr Kardos & Central PA Eye & Ear. There will NEVER be another doctor or practice that could even come close to my amazing, positive experience today. Check Them Out! You will quickly discover the difference too!

I cannot express enough satisfaction with the staff--Lynda and Dr. Brent were open, honest,…read morehelpful, and friendly during my whole process. Even before knowing if I was truly a candidate for PRK, Lynda was calling to check up on me and discuss any questions I had. Dr. Brent also took time to discuss any further questions about the procedures and his opinions on what he felt should be best for me. Not once did I felt rushed during my consultation and/or pressured to choose one method (LASIK) over another. After discussing with Dr. Brent, I felt like PRK was the best option for me. Dr. Brent clearly discussed the pros and cons of each procedure and alleviated any concerns that I had. A few days, and now, three years later my vision is 20/20. Before the procedure, the Dr. Brent took the time to speak with me to alleviate any residual fears. Lynda came by to see me shortly before the procedure to wish me the best. There weren't any side conversations, everyone was attentive, the staff was very professional and focused on delivering the best service possible. When I first sat up after the procedure and Dr. Brent asked me to read the time on the clock, without thinking about it...I read the time out loud. Then I realized I wasn't wearing my glasses (that I wore for 20 years). Recovery did take a bit longer than with LASIK (as clearly explained to me), but once my vision stabilized (a month later) life was awesome! Premier Eye Care showed technical proficiency and more importantly treated me more than just a patient. I still love my "new" sight and don't regret choosing them. My experience was so positive that I have referred a few of my friends to have their vision corrected here. Without a doubt, I highly recommend them!

It was getting to the point that contacts were uncomfortable and I couldn't stand wearing them for long periods of time. I was so scared to get LASIKs and all the unknowns. The team here really helped to explain the whole process and made me feel comfortable. My doctor was Dr. Mishra and is so detailed oriented and caring I would recommend him to anyone who asked. Amanda is the coordinator for the LASIKs and is a sweetheart- so caring and thoughtful. She ensured I knew everything and answered every question I had. And I can't write a review with talking about Jessica who held my hand the whole time while I was getting LASIK. My life was changed 100% by this team. Once I was healed and driving with my husband I started to cry and he asked me what was wrong I told "I am not upset the world is just so beautiful and I get to see it for the first time" I can not thank this team enough.
