I will never ever go here again. They have miserable hours and their website says they are open even when they are not. It must be nice that you do so well in your other offices that you can ignore patients at Shamokin Dam. Twice I have gone to pick up my glasses and they were closed. The practice of closing an office when it suits you is irresponsible

Pack a lunch! Arrived at 10:45 for an 11:00 appointment for my son and we didn’t see the doctor until noon. Staff is always friendly, but this isn’t the first time I’ve waited nearly an hour past an appointment time.

Hours are not correct. Also told I could pick up an order today However no one here and the office is closed. Drove over an hour. 100% not acceptable. More than likely once orders are obtained I will not be doing business here. Dr was great. Rest is a hot mess.

Multiple times I have come to pick up glasses during business hours for them to be closed. Phone number takes you to an answering service that is useless and unhelpful (in another city) Multiple times I have asked to be the contact number for my shared custody children when I have them yet they always call their mom. Dr. Hensel was efficient and friendly. The problem must be some of his staff.

I had my first appointment today. It was perfect. I was taken right away. Everyone was nice and friendly. They were very thorough and explained things well. It was just a matter of a few minutes between the preliminary exam and seeing the Dr. I'm really picky and impatient and there was not one thing I can complain about.
