MEET DR. PANZER
I am committed to providing quality personalized eyecare for your entire family. Helping children with their eye sight problems - especially those who have special needs - is one of my main priorities and interests.
I am a certified Optometric Glaucoma Specialist and I also specialize in the fitting of bifocal contact lenses.
Our onsite laboratory makes it fast and easy to provide your eyewear needs and we have literally hundreds of frame styles to choose from in every price range -- from very serviceable to the latest high fashions.
I recognize that we all live in a fast-paced environment with busy lifestyles and schedules, so I work hard to make sure that my patients receive personal attention in a timely manner and that my staff is always friendly, knowledgeable and well-trained.
We provide treatment for minor eye infections and injuries and also for Dry Eye Syndrome.
I invite you to visit us. I believe that you will enjoy our professional and comprehensive eyecare services. We always welcome new patients and we always appreciate your referrals!
Yours truly,
Dr. Allan Panzer
Therapeutic Optometrist
