We were able to be seen the day we called as new patient and treatment happened immediately and successfully. I have since had issues with cataracts and a macular pucker. Both Dr. Leonard and Dr. Pavlica have been very professional, informative, patient, and kind in dealing with my many questions and concerns. I feel that I am treated as an individual, not just another patient. It seems that much thought and research goes into dealing with my eye issues. I am still under treatment, but am expecting a full recovery in the future. I would highly recommend this practice as each member has been compassionate, pleasant, and sensitive as well as efficient. read less

Very pleasant office. Very helpful and positive atmosphere to be around. The Dr’s are helpful and pleasant.

I did not have any luck with any eye doctors that were willing to see my right away. I called Family eye group and they got me in right away. I could not be happier with the service they provided to me. They took their time, did all the tests and I had surgery the next day to reattach my retina. Dr. Pavlica took quite a bit of time to explain everything to me and answered all my questions. They staff and the techs were amazing. I would highly recommend Family eye group. read less

Great service. Friendly. Saved my eyesight. Will not go anywhere else. Thank you Dr Pavlica and Dr Nguyen.

I was immediately struck by his professional yet friendly front office staff. I didn't even get to open the book I brought to read before they called me! I was impressed by Christine, who gave me a VERY thorough pre-screening, so professional and personable. Dr. Leckemby's care, compassion, listening ear and very clear explanation of what was going was impressive and besides all that he has a great personality. I was so impressed by the overall treatment I received as a "guest patient" (and a beautiful office to boot) that I decided to cancel the new-patient appointment I had made with another eye doctor, who had been recommended to me (but wasn't available this week), and go with Dr. Leckemby and the folks at Family Eye Group instead! I don't think I'd find a finer doctor or staff than what I experienced here. read less

He is always very good with his care, making sure that you understand what's going on with your eyes and yet does not suggest treatments just to get more money.

In general, the Family Eye Group front desk personnel have always been very pleasant and try to keep you informed if your doctor is running late. read less

Love Dr. Leckemby. Its always a pleasure to see him.

Was informed he was 20 minute behind schedule. Which made the long wait ok

She explains everything to you on a human level so you understand what is happening within your eye. I've been to other Dr's that don't have the ability to explain your condition to you in common terms and you are more confused after their explaination. I've been to Dr.'s that overbook and have one foot out of the door before they even get in the door, that's after waiting up to an hour past your appointment time, because they want to get as many patients as possible each day for obvious reasons. Her office is always on time and very considerate of your time. The staff is very friendly and there's not a lot of turn around within the staff which can say a lot about the Dr's there. I've been to places where you there are new faces working every 2-3 months. I've been to many specialists over the years and I highly recommend Dr. Leonardo. read less

In 33 years I have crossed paths with countless surgeons, ophthalmologists, optometrists, and opticians all in an attempt to get my lackluster eyes to function.

Out of all of them, I can confidently say that my experiences with Dr. Nguyen have been far and above the best. Not only did she save my right eye from an unfortunate run-in with a nerf dart (it hurt as much as it sounds, promise) but she clearly and compassionately explained what was going on every step of the way - something that helped immensely during a traumatizing and frightening few weeks when I was legitimately scared I might lose the sight in my dominant eye.

I have NEVER experienced such a quality bedside manner from an eyecare practitioner before. Not once. I'd honestly lost hope in ever feeling comfortable in an optometrist's office, and Dr. Nguyen gave me that along with healthy eyes!

The office staff is amazing, friendly, and helpful too. I'd recommend that anyone come here for quality eye care (and everyone has a great sense of humor which is just the icing on the cake!). read less

She listens and she is willing to work with you and answer any questions. She really put me at ease when I found out I had cataracts and would need surgery. I had both eyes done in September and couldn't be happier with the results. She and her staff were great! I seldom had to wait long. Everyone at The Family Eye Group in both Ephrata and Lancaster offices were friendly, efficient, and easy to work with. read less

I was 55 and for most people it is mostly unnoticeable. But I guess I was not most people and what I was left with was a ton of floaters so many it was hard to drive, read, work on the computer or even watch TV.

Now your brain works very hard to remove these floaters but mine were so big that my brain could only gray them and in doing so would create kind of like gray blind spots.

Dr Pavlica was very meticulous in he’s time and research he did with me while contemplating surgery. I really, in my mind, did not have a choice I opted for surgery in my right eye which was by far the worse. Now the surgery has risks and one definit side effect was that I would get a cataract anywhere from two weeks to two years.

Lucky for me Family Eye Group has a host of wonderful doctors with a wide range of specialists.I had the operation that Dr. Pavlica performed and it was wonderful I could see again but I did get a cataract and had to have another expected surgery.

Now for that I had Dr Leonardo! She was fabulous and again meticulous with her measurements and I am happy to say she did an awesome job. All my life I have worn glasses and now with Dr. Leonard’s surgery I have no more need. I will be having the left eye operated on to remove a big blob that interferes with my up close work.

I will definitely being Dr. Pavlica do that surgery! Sincere and Grateful ThanksCheri Doerr read less

Great experience. Cataract surgery with Dr. Leonardo went better than expected. She was very patient and kind throughout the journey.

I have a complex eye condition that meant that some judgment calls had to be made in terms of the replacement lenses; every question I had was answered clearly and with confidence. Everyone was completely professional and very organized.

I must have had eight appointments in all, and I was never kept waiting--if they had time, they took me early. I would strongly recommend the group. read less
