I was visiting the Harrisburg area when I had an issue with my left eye. I was able to make an…read moreappointment with Dr. Andren the same day. He examined me and told me what was probably wrong, but said I needed to see someone with a specialized device (called OCT) to confirm. When I returned home and saw my usual optometrist, who had the OCT device, he confirmed Dr. Andren's preliminary diagnosis. Dr. Andren was great, saw me right away, and gave me a correct diagnosis.

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. They didn't give any clarification or stated that we had to be established patients. 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.

Long story short I returned 3 times and ended up spending $780.xx on a pair of glasses that I cannot see ot of. The prescription is very strong and she didn't account for my stigmatism.

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.

I feel very fortunate to have been referred to Babineau Opticians by Dr. Stegura/Premier Eye Care…read more Now that many opticians have been pressured under duress to have client's lenses made by the insurance company's own optical labs, I was finding myself still using my oldest pair of glasses because the iMed lenses the insurance labs made were just so bad. I did work hard to get my new pairs from iMed updated within the 30 day window with little success. I called my brother who is an out-of-state optometrist to find out what to do about this. He said, "I'm impressed you noticed that, it's a real problem." At Babineau, John just shook his head when I mentioned this issue and told me Babineau has used the same Pennsylvania family-owned optical lab for over 40 years. And it really makes a difference! As soon as I got my glasses - and Babineau had the Ray-ban frames I most love in stock the day I stopped in - it was all over for the old pair! The glasses were made perfectly - the progressive lenses have me seeing all distances better than ever, with the perfect amount of "room" in each range (close, midrange for computer use, and distance), and Brian fitted them to my head so they don't hurt, but stay on without sliding down my nose. I could not be happier! This is the place to go. John and Brian will take care of your needs, and you'll have a good time working with them too. I feel like I've been adopted, taken under their wing.

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!
