Dr Marek is wonderful…patiently listened to my history and advised me on the next steps to address my eyesight concerns.
Chester County Eye Care fit me in for an emergency appointment the day I was leaving for vacation. I arrived a few minutes early and they saw me on time. Once the med tech was finished, Dr Marek came into the room within a few minutes. She was kind and professional and alleviated my fears about corneal damage. She prescribed steroid drops which I’m sure will do the trick. This entire experience was a “10” for me, in no small part due to Dr Marek’s promptness and demeanor. Highly recommend!
Great job

I have had a good recovery from the Fuch’s dystrophy operation. Everything went so smoothly, and I have confidence in Dr. Marek.
Listens very well. Explains things very clearly.
Dr Marek listened to my concerns and addressed them thoroughly. She picked up on small details and took care of them before they became problems. Her staff is also top flight - Kimberly examined me prior to my meeting with Dr Marek and set up things well for that encounter.
Excellent visit. Dr Marek was personable , knowledgeable and explained my condition well, She ordered something that should help. Her nurse was very helpful also.
