Why did you choose to practice at Weaver Eye Associates?

Weaver Eye Associates was an established professional and ethical practice in a community that is hard working and family oriented.

Why do you think Weaver Eye Associates was voted "#1 Vision Center in York County?"

We put the patient first and have the skills to handle all facets of the patients eye care needs at all of our locations.

Why do you think Weaver Eye Associates won the national award for "Most Outstanding Practice?"

Many locations offer eye examinations and eyewear, but we go a step or two further. When you see one of our doctors you see someone who is doing continual training to serve your needs. Our staff members are very experienced people trained to do a better job of serving you. We don't give just a minimal of service because we all are well trained to give you a better visual experience. The quality of the materials we use is better than average as are the contact lenses that we fit. This combination of quality and training gives you a finished product that we feel is better than you can receive elsewhere. I think that anyone who has been to other eye care locations can tell the superior care that we strive to provide at Weaver Eye Associates.

What do you enjoy the most about your career as an optometrist?

I enjoy seeing my patients and interacting with them to make their time with me pleasant and at the same time providing them with the most comprehensive eye care possible.
