Eye Care And Vision Associates

⭐️ 5-Star Review for Dr. Lauren Kalinowski & Team I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Lauren Kalinowski and her entire team. From the moment I walked in, everyone was friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. Sally, the doctor’s assistant, was amazing. She handled all of the initial testing and prep before I met with Dr. Kalinowski, and she made me feel comfortable and informed the entire time. Dr. Kalinowski herself was incredible thorough, patient, and truly attentive. She discovered things about my eye health that no other doctor has ever caught, despite me going for annual exams every year. I’m from the Fredonia area, and with our insurance options being pretty limited, I’ve tried all the local providers but never felt fully satisfied. I decided to try the next town over, and I’m so glad I did. Jan helped me through the checkout process with kindness and efficiency, and Michael was fantastic in helping me choose and fit my glasses. The entire staff worked together seamlessly. The facility is beautiful, clean, and modern easily the nicest office I’ve visited. Overall, I finally feel like I’ve found an eye care team I trust. Highly recommend!

I am writing to share my dissatisfaction with a recent eye exam at your office. While the appointment was scheduled as a routine eye exam, my primary goal was also to discuss ongoing difficulties with my vision—specifically the challenges I have using glasses and contact lenses consistently, which give me headaches, dizziness, continued difficulty seeing, and significantly impact my job. I was referred to your practice based on a friend’s very positive experience with Michael Campbell, who reportedly helped address complex near- and far-sighted vision issues. Based on that recommendation, I was hopeful I would leave my appointment with options or next steps to address my concerns. Although Lauren Kalinowski was professional and the exam itself was basic and fine, I left feeling disappointed and dismissed. I was told I am not a candidate for LASIK, but no explanation was provided as to why. I was briefly told I could see another provider (Atwall, I believe), but I do not recall the name clearly and was not given any written information or referral. Overall, I felt the appointment was rushed and that my concerns were not meaningfully addressed. The non-verbal communication throughout the visit further contributed to my feeling that the goal was simply to complete the appointment rather than explore solutions. I was hoping to leave with a clearer understanding of my options or at least a plan moving forward. Instead, I felt as though I was being told that this is simply something I "need to live with". Unfortunately, due to this experience, I will not be returning as a patient. I wanted to provide this feedback so you are aware of how this experience felt from a patient’s perspective.

This was first time at the eye vision associated! Dr. Lauren was superb along with the entire staff. All very friendly, knowledgeable and professional! I would highly recommend them. They certainly make you very comfortable.

Although Dr. Campbell has been attentive and kind in the past with my cataract surgery 5 years ago, not so this last visit 7/1/2026. Without notice or discussion he has dropped me as a patient. At checkout he gave me a choice of optometrists. His demeanor was dismissive regarding the efficacy/ quality of vitamins suggested to take for MD.. He snapped "are you a pharmacist?" ,and admonished me with " there your eyes!", finished the exam and abruptly left the room. Other staff were very nice, no problem.(BTW I'm 79 years old.)

Dr. Campbell is an excellent eye doctor. He explained what he was looking for during the exam and that my eyes were healthy. He was friendly and personable. He answered my questions thoroughly and did not make me feel rushed.
