What Our Patients Are Saying
Before Dr. Karlin retired, he told me that my new optometrist would Dr. Brown and that I would be very impressed with the care I would receive from him. Dr. Karlin was right. Dr. Brown is exceedingly knowledgeable, professional and thorough. Just what I have grown to expect from Nittany Eye Associates.
