Our Patients Say it Best...

They are super nice and helpful. Excellent care provided for my family.

- Sharon K.

It was so refreshing to have an appointment late in the day and EVERYONE in the office is still so friendly and energetic! I'm so glad I chose this office for my daughters eye care. They are professional and knowledgeable! The office was so clean and smelled amazing lol! Definitely a 5 star facility and a 5 star staff!

I had scheduled an appointment for my 6 year old daughter and had an awesome experience at Fox Chase Family Eye Care with Dr. Uriel B. Schechter. He definitely has a passion for what he does, especially with dealing with kids. My daughter at first wasn’t to fond about her eye exam but Dr. Schechter broke through the wall of fear and shyness with his dancing ear trick, that she was so amazed about. I’d definitely recommend him as your O.D. Also all of the staff members were very friendly. I myself will become a patient now.

- Roberto R.

Service was great, from receptionist to assistant to doctor to product counter. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. Atmosphere very relaxing and child friendly. The waiting room has plush seating, TV (with a nature program showing), and even a wireless recharge station. I highly recommend this service provider.

We couldn't be happier with Fox Chase Family Eye Care. The staff, beginning with Erin, moving to Amber and all the way through are warm, professional and extremely competent. Dr. Schecter is kind, friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable. Tyler in the glass selection area is amazing. For myself and all of my children, I wouldn't choose another Optician. Glass selection has vastly improved. Thank you Fox Chase Family Eye Care for taking care of us!

- Kris G.

Office is lovely staff are warm and welcoming. Short wait time and testing is done seamlessly with high tech equipment. Dr. Schechter is friendly, patient and knowledgeable and thinks about creative ideas to address vision issues. Selection of glasses is great. I highly recommend this practice.
