Legendary Customer Service

“I highly recommend Dr. Gabrielle. Every visit is professional and she makes you feel good after every visit. Her staff is qualified and you don’t have to wait long when you are there. They work with your insurance and address all your issues and concerns with compassion, respect and expertise.

My entire family visits. We come back yearly and feel great. Even if you order glasses or contacts she goes the extra mile to make sure they fit and you are happy with the product. Her prices are reasonable too. She is knowledgeable and courteous at all times.

I would not trust my eyes with anyone else.”

Legendary Customer Service

“ Dr. Szwajca-Drewniak has been my family’s optometrist for a few years now, and I’d highly recommend seeing her! Other than going in for our annual eye exams, we have seen her for help with a stye, a chalazion, eye allergy relief, dry eyes, and an exam after a minor chemical splash that I had unfortunately experienced. When I went in for this chemical splash accident, I felt extremely cared about -thankfully everything was okay with my eye! And if you are someone with amblyopia like myself, Dr.Szwajca-Drewniak will definitely remind you to keep that good eye extra safe with eye wear protection🤓I am definitely more conscious about wearing my glasses after that visit and our discussion about safety and eye health! In all, she is very professional, personable, and someone I trust recommending to friends, family, and others to see! "
