Kremer Eye Center

I had LASIK back in August, and it was an excellent decision. Basically, I can see (!!) at all times so if there’s a bump in the night I won’t get eaten by a zombie while fumbling around for my glasses, and the price was what I would typically spend on 6 – 7 years of glasses. I have more to say about that and about Kremer in my review of their KOP location, where they did my surgery. That facility is indeed much nicer than this one in Center City. But this location is much more convenient than KOP, so I’ll take it. And it’s not that the equipment isn’t up to par or anything like that, it’s just that the office has old carpet and doesn’t have a lot of natural light and modern sleekness like the KOP location. It’s all aesthetic, which doesn’t really bother me, because the content of the care is excellent.
The Kremer website sets them apart, since it was clearly built by professionals recently. It’s not a 2001 nightmare (or nonexistent) like most doctors and dentists. You can send an inquiry through the website and get a reply within 24 hours. The site looks great and actually has a lot of useful information organized in a way that makes sense. UX on a medical website?! Wow! Scheduling appointments is very easy too, and the people working here are more than happy to help you with any questions you have. I’m sure we’ve all been to doctors’ offices where the receptionist treats you like you are some kind of crazy person for wanting to check in, or like you slapped a puppy when you need to reschedule an upcoming appointment. At Kremer, the people at the front desk greet you with a warm smile and remember your name. There’s one woman in particular who is always there when I go in, and she exudes friendly competence, which is pretty much the perfect vibe. Every employee I have interacted with has had an excellent attitude and has made me feel welcome and comfortable. They’re just plain nice, and good at what they’re doing. From the front desk, to the people who get your «vitals», to Dr. Bernstein (pre– and post-​surgical evaluations and care), to Dr. Aronsky (who performed my surgery), everyone has been excellent at their job and seems thrilled to be doing it. Even the surgeon was nice, you guys!

So happy that I can come here for my follow up appointments instead of having to schlepp out to KOP! My actual surgery was at the KOP office in March 2014 and it went well, but they have to see you post-​op at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year… needless to say, this location is much more convenient for me. This was actually where I came for my initial consultation, too. The office staff is friendly and although the décor could use some updating, the equipment is new and the doctor is good. After years of wearing glasses/​contacts, I’ve been really happy with my decision to get LASIK surgery done and I highly recommend Kremer!

I went in for the free consultation which I was told would take 2+ hours. It took 40 minutes total.
Office is old and dirty like an old school dentist office. Everyone there kept mentioning how the actual surgery was performed at their King of Prussia location, and that I will be extremely impressed when I get there. There were a bunch of employees just sitting around looking bored.
They discouraged me from having Lasik because they said my vision isn’t that bad. (–1.00 both eyes) the doctor was actually really annoying about it and told me that I don’t even need contacts and in 10 years I’ll need reading glasses so «why bother?» I’m not sure if I should be happy that he didn’t just let me spend 5K or disappointed that I felt like I wasted his time. I actually would have still done it so I can get rid of my contacts for good, but I just can’t have someone laser my eyeballs who seems like he’s irritated to be there. I wear my contacts 14 hours a day and need them for work, driving, and biking, but per this place I don’t even need them and should ‘just deal with it.” He mentioned they do a full range of eye care. I bet they’d be happy to sell me contacts for the next 50 years… even if I «don’t need them.»
I was quoted $ 4900 total.

Several weeks out from my LASIK procedure and I can say Kremer is the best around. The staff is friendly, attentive and, most importantly, the best at what they do. The surgeon I had — Dr. Aronsky — was beyond fantastic. He explained everything to me, and even got to know me enough to lessen my fears.
I would recommend Kremer to anyone looking for a LASIK provider in the area. I strongly believe nowhere else compares, and even if it costs a little more it’s worth it. It’s our EYES we’re talking about!

I recently had LASIK surgery and had all my pre-​op consultations at this center city location. Everyone here was so nice! I was nervous about the whole procedure, but everyone here from the receptionist to the technicians to the doctors, were super friendly and reassuring. I saw several doctors during my consultation, but my main doctor and surgeon was Dr. Michael Aronsky… I highly recommend him! I have a lot of scars on my eyes from many years of wearing contacts and not taking them out like I should, but Dr. Aronsky was very thorough in explaining the options that I had and was very extensive in making sure I was a good candidate for surgery. The actual surgery was performed at their King of Prussia location, and everyone there was also excellent. I can’t speak highly enough about the doctors and staff at Kremer and the wonderful care and service that I received.
