My family of 4 are all patients of Dr. Kolnik for many years now and we have all been extremely happy with his care. He is professional, efficient and clearly dedicated to his profession. His office staff are also incredibly helpful, patient, and respectful I highly recommend him to anyone who is searching for a new doctor or unhappy with their current Optometrist.
