About Us
Since 1983 we have provided professional, family eye and vision care services in Howard County, Maryland. Dr. Ronald Berger envisioned a family friendly optometric office where patients would receive high-quality eye care in a comfortable office environment. Dr. Dana Taylor joined the practice in 1987 and Dr. Jennifer Kungle in 2000. All three are board certified in developmental vision therapy by the College of Optometrists in Vision Development. Our dedicated and professional staff of receptionists, lab technicians, vision therapists, and doctors provide the highest level of patient eye care in a warm and caring office environment. Whether a receptionist is outlining your insurance options, a technician is fitting you with the right frames, or one of the doctors is discussing your vision treatment, your comfort and vision needs are our top priority. Our guiding principal is to acknowledge you as a unique individual and treat you accordingly. |
