Sharon M Luckhardt, OD, FCOVD

Dr. Maze is one of those people that we were very blessed to come into our lives. We were at a pediatric eye dr. and circumstances with my youngest having been diagnosed with a speech issue while trying to rule out obvious causes due to hearing or speech, Dr. Maze was referred to us. The decision to make was do I want my 3 children at 2 different Drs. I switched them all and it was BEST DECISION I made!!! My oldest was was diagnosed with convergence insufficiency which also included divergence, tracking and scatagorical issues. This was not a vision acuity issue it was a ocular motor disfunction. She was in second grade and we had seen some deficiencies in her comprehension and test taking, thankfully now we knew why. She went in for comprehensive vision therapy and even spoke to her teachers!!! Dr. Maze and his staff helped my daughter overcome and strengthen her eyes. Thankfully after such a good experience I was able to see early signs in the other 2 children as well, and we were able to do some early intervention with Dr. Maze. He is professional, approachable and compassionate. My oldest is now 12 and he has been a very important and supportive role in my children’s lives for the last 5 years. I will never switch eye drs. and I refer him often!

I’ve found the services, professionalism and knowledge at Dr’s Luckhardt and Maze to be unparalleled. The entire staff is courteous and helpful. Dr. Maze’s expertise at diagnosing several of issues for me, along with his comprehensive care after I received a concussion (and the resulting eye and brain concerns therein) kept me on the right track. These fine folks have certainly earned five stars in my book. I highly recommend them.

I went to this practice for over 30 years! I recently moved out of state and am so sad that I have to find a new eye doctor. The service I received from Dr. Luckhardt and Dr. Maze over the years has been excellent. In more recent years I’ve seen only Dr. Maze and have been very impressed by his knowledge, care, patience with questions, and ability to explain what is going on with my changing eyes. I highly recommend this practice. They have handled my routine eye exams very well and have handled my contact and glasses needs as well. When I’ve had emergencies, they responded quickly and with care and knowledge. Some of the people working in the office are a little bit quirky, but it usually added to my appreciation of my practice and enjoyment of my visits as I got to observe the dynamics. They also do vision therapy which I think is very interesting. Overall, I think this is a great place to go for your vision needs!

I’ve been going to this office for several years and received good care from Dr. Luckhardt, but since she’s retired and her protégée Dr. Maze is the sole optometrist, the place has gone downhill. After a serious auto accident during which my eyeglasses went missing, I had an optometry student foisted upon me, even though I told everyone on staff that I was in a lot of pain. The exam took 2 hours — 2 hours without dilation — and after I had new lenses put in, it was obvious the prescription was not correct. I had to go in again and have Dr. Maze examine me and get new lenses, again. Not only did this mean I was without my glasses for over a month, but I had to convince the lab who did the first pair of lenses to redo them without charging me. I went back recently after 2 years since I was so unhappy with my last experience. I got a new prescription and new lenses made. But I am finding that I cannot read with them. So I called the office to speak with Dr. Maze, and two days later, I still had not received a call. I left another message today, and finally received a call from one of the staff who told me that I should do some focussing exercises that he had given me and that he would call me at the end of the week! (So did I get a prescription for the vision I have or the vision he thinks I should have after doing eye exercises?) This would be SEVEN days after my first request. I actually cannot wait an enormous amount of time as I am going on vacation in a month and the insurance company that does the lenses takes 2 – 4 weeks to make lenses. Not happy with this time frame, I called the office back, again getting a staff member who told me that it’s either this prescription or bifocals. Seeing as I am able to both read and have distance vision in glasses that have a prescription that is 4 years old, it seems to be there must be some middle ground here. But I can’t seem to get to talk to the doctor. And the staff member had to remind me of my age, as if somehow everyone over 40 must need bifocals. The only alternative they gave me was to write me my old prescription from two years ago. If your eye doctor can’t give you 5 minutes to discuss a prescription you’re having trouble with, you should probably go find another. I know I will.
