“I had such a wonderful experience at my recent eye appointment! From the moment I walked in, I felt completely comfortable and at ease. The doctor was incredibly kind, easy to talk to, and made the entire visit feel relaxed and stress-free. She took the time to thoroughly explain everything in a way that was clear and easy to understand, which I really appreciated. What stood out most was how knowledgeable and attentive she was—she answered all of my questions with patience and made sure I felt confident about my eye health and any next steps.”

“It is rare that you walk in and meet any new doctor and feel totally at ease. And that was the case with Dr. Gretchen Ohlig. I was having an issue with one of my eyes and thought the worst. Dr. Ohlig found the problem and resolved it. She made me feel very comfortable and explained every procedure she was performing. Her experience was a breath of fresh air. She was polite, sympathetic and businesslike with a touch of humor. I loved her and would recommend her to anyone. She works at Optyx in Greenvale. Great parking now that the supermarket is no longer there.”
