I ended up here after repeatedly failing to successfully schedule for my annual eye exam at a nation optical retail store (https://www.yelp.com/biz/visionworks-mechanicsburg?hrid=7abQ-Y-ym-B5sxeCJNQ2-w&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct)) Now there are a number of ophthalmologists and eye surgeons, but there's just one optometrist, Dr. Match.  He's only available on Tuesdays so you do need to take time off from work to make the appointment, but it's worth it.  Dr. Match is personable and very thorough. After my first visit, I recommended that my son also have his eyes checked and he like him, too.  The assistant, Barb, may seem loud at first, but she's actually friendly and well meaning.  The facility is pleasant and clean. Both receptionists greeted me with smiles and tried to be helpful during check-in and check-out.  I did have to wait 20-30 minutes before I got examined, but that's within my tolerance.  I've been coming here for 2 years and I don't see any reason for me to not continue. NVA vision insurance plan is accepted. They have their own optical shop directly up the stairs, thus providing full services for your eyes. BTW, that's also where you'd pick up your printed prescription.

Kakaria suggested I had bilateral cataracts but couldn't prove it to me with evidence visually.

Dr. Zimmerman did my exam. I was glad she was so knowledgeable; I have seen many eye doctors from Florida and California, and she was the first to finally diagnose the problem.

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!

My husband had a severe eye issue and stabbing pain in his eye and the receptionists there looked at my family like we were crossed eyed when I mentioned ER services even though their website states this is a service they provide.

Im sure their normal services are fine but they need to remove the ER services on their website if they don't provide this at all! Also i called first before going but no one answered the phone.

During one of my eye procedures, I informed Dr. Ernst that I was experiencing pain. He said he was "almost done" and continued chatting with the nurse. After the procedure, I developed an issue in one eye. At my follow-up appointment with Dr. Ernst, I said I didn't feel he was at fault. I explained my symptoms and asked for his thoughts. He immediately blamed me for poor post-operative care and claimed that my non-compliance in addressing my dry eyes was the reason for my issue. I was taken aback because I had already shared that I followed my post-operative instructions exactly as directed. Furthermore, Dr. Ernst suggested the implants due to my dry eyes. It was an uncomfortable appointment because he was very angry and stood right before me, seated in the chair. During all this, his transcriptionist is typing what he tells me. It was awful. After leaving, I realized he had never even checked the dryness of my eyes. I was instructed to return for multiple follow-ups with another doctor. Each time I visited and shared my ongoing issue, I received an eye exam without any feedback. After each appointment, I was told to return in a month. I told the doctor that each appointment required a two-hour round trip and a half day off from work, but they insisted I keep coming back. I was also trying to resolve billing issues. They kept billing my insurance despite signing a contract indicating follow-up care was included. I also had a hard time getting my consultation fee applied to the cost of my procedure. After a while, I wondered if they were trying to make more money than the huge sum I had already paid them. After I initially published this review, someone from the office called me. She restated everything Dr. Ernst said and made it clear she was unhappy about my review. I told her I was sorry she was "put in the middle" of my issue. She was even more upset when I declined to remove my review because it was truthful. The third doctor I consulted was polite, thorough, and honest. Although I did not resolve my issue, I appreciated being listened to. I made a poor decision to have this procedure here, but I don't blame them for my decision to have it. The way I was treated continues to bother me more than the vision issue I have.
