Always a great experience at Lawrenceville Eye Care. Dr. Gredinger and his entire staff are excellent. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Dr. Gredinger knows his patients and gives personalized care from year to year. Larry and Jen, the opticians are always friendly, helpful and get my glasses done quickly and correctly. It's always a pleasure working with them.

I've been going to Lawrenceville Eye Care for years. Never had a problem. Everyone is friendly, and courteous. Easy to schedule appointments and best of all you get a reminder call, text or email, before your next appointment.
