Patient Comments

Dr. Fit me in as I was late and was very nice and helpful to me. She was able to do my exam and explained everything to me in the time I had left of my appointment

Sep 24, 2024

Good advice

Sep 20, 2024

I've always been very happy with Dr. Krech. I hit a rather unpleasant experience the last time I was at college town so I left for a year and saw another provider but I just didn't have the confidence in them that I have in Dr. Krech so I went back to her. I like her very much and have complete confidence in her when it comes to the care of my eyes.

Doctor was friendly thorough explained everything and answered all I of my questions

Sep 12, 2024

The doctor was wonderful and told me about potential things to watch out for with my vision and how to contact her if things change.

Aug 22, 2024

I have Glaucoma so Dr. Krech explained the options and aids available to me. Very Helpful! I did purchase the Cocoon sunglasses from ABVI/Goodwill Store which helps with the sun glare.

Dr. Jennifer Krech is very well versed in her practice. She is thorough in her examination and, I believe, extremely knowledgeable. She always makes sure I know what she finds and what she recommends I do to continue preserving the health of my eyes (I am a 20+ year diabetic). I completely trust her.
