I had Dr. Lenarcik when I went in the first time. It was supposed to be just for a prescription for a new pair of glasses, but upon seeing that my vision was -15 (yes, it can get that bad), Dr. Lenarcik suggested I take extra wide-range pictures of my retina as well as see a specialist. Roll forward a year and I've had several procedures to correct microscopic tears in my retina, catching them early before they got any worse. Dr. Lenarcik is a great doctor who always puts his patient's health foremost, I would highly recommend him.
I see a wonderful optometrist at this clinic every two years. Her name is Dr. Pniak. I have my optomap retinal pictures done every time. On the first visit I had a retinal tear, which the doctor found, and referred to a specialist before it became an issue. I didn't have any symptoms, so I am glad I opted for the optomap retinal photographs, which helped to diagnose the problem. $45 extra is not a big deal and I feel I can sleep better at night because I know my retina is not detaching and I don't have other eye health problems. I highly recommend this clinic, especially Dr. Pniak, who is the best optometrist.
I had Dr.Pushka, very inconsiderate and unhelpful. She coerced me into getting an image of my eye ($55) and emailing it to me (which I had to download a program for, which will not actually install properly, and therefore no image), just to realize nothing was wrong. Had there been a problem I would have gladly paid, but making me pay for something that has a 0.5% chance of showing something considerable is very frustrating. Also staff was very unhelpful in clarifying and helping me find out what insurance does and does not cover, "they probably cover all of this"...well they don't, I had to pay $120 for nothing. I felt as though they tried to rush me out of the clinic. Big money grab, going back to my family optometrist.
