"I was Dr. Postner's patient and after his retirement, I am seeing Dr. Leonard Thurschwell. I had two appointments him this year. one for vision and the other for a medical issue. both visit was very good experience. After my eye glasses was made, I noticed a slight uncomfortness with my right eye. Dr. Thurschwell took time to readjust my prescription. Now my glasses is perfect! I can see 20/15. I am very happy."
