There are a great many optometrists in our little County of Madera. All educated, accredited, competent professionals. It is difficult to choose one that has openings in their schedule, takes my insurance, is conveniently located, and that I would trust my eyes to. Jelen Optometry is all that to me. And more. At Jelen Optometry, I have always been treated as an individual. There is more to this than trust and comfort: there is logic, as follows.
Jelen Optometry has twice the square footage of your average solo optometrist. This allows the equipment needed for each step of the eye exam to be in an efficient sequence, and separate from the next step. The equipment itself is state-of-the-art; perfectly maintained and clean.
You would be happy if other aspects of your life ran on their schedule. Firstly, Jelen Optometry doesn't double-book appointments. To me, the patient, this means if I arrive at two-twenty for a two-twenty appointment, I will be seen at two-twenty. Secondly, this efficiency is not achieved by sacrificing an unrushed, thorough examination. On the contrary, the time saved through proper management is passed on as a dividend to the patient, who receives personal, professional care in whatever time the doctor—not the clock—deems necessary.
A word about the doctor, Dr. Jelen:
There is an extra measure of care and precision in his thoroughness. Even the better optometrists have had me return to remake imprecise corrective lenses, or their prescription. Dr. Jelen spends more time getting the details right so that our time isn't wasted later. When the glasses are done they're done. You can't do better for accuracy. No one is going to care more about your optical health than Dr. Jelen.
