About Altoona Ophthalmology Associates
Altoona Ophthalmology Associates is described as the BEST eye doctor’s office in town. The entire staff, including the doctors, are beyond wonderful, friendly, and welcoming. Patients feel lucky to have found this office, with one 75-year-old patient stating that Dr. Budd gave the best eye exam they have ever had after 70 years of major eye problems. The staff on the phone transferring records and answering questions are great. The doctors are knowledgeable, attentive, caring, and willing to go above and beyond to help children and others with their sight. They are very kind, professional, and listen to past history. The optician is very helpful with glasses, and they help with emergency glasses fix-its. Patients appreciate that they do not charge for unnecessary procedures. It is a busy place, and phone calling and return calls are rough, but overall it is efficient and professional. The office gets patients in quickly for emergencies and regular testing, with very pleasant and professional personnel.
We left Nittany Eye to come here. The staff on the phone transferring our records, answering Q’s, and getting us started were great! They DO NOT charge for unnecessary procedures like N. Eye started doing; the Dr seemed knowledgeable & diagnosed my husband with something rare that our other Dr missed; the optician was very helpful with our glasses; and they have helped us with emergency glasses fix-its.
It’s a busy place and phone calling/ return calls are rough, but overall efficient and professional. Much better than the last place that closed offices when they felt like it.
We love the larger selection of glasses, too.
I have been seeing eye doctors since l was 4 yrs old and am now 75. 70 years of major eye problems. Dr. Budd gave the best eye exam l have ever had. I feel lucky to have found this office.
Hands down the BEST eye doctor’s office in town. And a special shoutout to their tech, Ginger! She is very attentive to the needs of her patients and really went above and beyond to help me out! Thank you, Ginger!!
