We found my girls’s ophthalmologist again…we thought we would need to find another provider after we moved. Dr Ranka and the office staff deliver courteous professional service consistently and Dr Ranka has an easy, therapeutic relationship with his patients….and their parents. Thank you!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review
My son has been seeing Dr. Ranka since he was a little child, and now he’s 14. Over all these years, we’ve had the most positive experience possible. Dr. Ranka not only an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable eye doctor but also exceptionally kind, patient, and attentive. He has always taken the time to explain everything clearly and make my son feel comfortable during every visit.
What I appreciate most is how genuinely he cares about his patients — he remembers their history, tracks every small change carefully, and always gives thoughtful recommendations. Thanks to his care, my son’s vision has been well-monitored and healthy throughout all these growing years.
We truly trust Dr. Ranka and feel grateful to have him as our eye doctor. I highly recommend him to any parent looking for an experienced, caring, and dedicated specialist for their child.

Amazing experience. So kind and approachable. My daughter responded really well to all the questions. I love how he asked her at the end if she had any questions (she’s 4)!

Was extremely sweet and patient with my seven year old. Was able to squeeze us into a busy schedule. Was funny and charismatic.
