SPECS has become a leading choice for superior vision care for
patients all over the region, not only for their personal service, but because
their optometric experts stay up to date with the latest advances in medicine
and technology to ensure precise diagnoses and optimal treatments for patients
of all ages.
“The best thing about what we do is working with people,” said
Dr. Thomas Gordon, owner of SPECS.
“Everyone is different, and everyone has a different story. Even if their eyes
are exactly the same, finding out what exactly works best for them is what we
do the best here.”
In August, SPECS welcomed
Brenna Gerchman, O.D. to the practice. "She provides a great blend of top-notch clinical education
and knowledge with a strong passion for providing community-based care. I also
expect that she will be an active member of the community and that will be
evident over the course of the months and years to come," said Dr. Gordon.
The doctors at SPECS specialize in examining,
diagnosing, treating, and managing eye-related disorders, diseases,
complications and injuries. Patients from ages 3 months to 100 can count on
SPECS, PA to be their primary care doctors for their eyes.
They offer early detection of vision problems
and can determine the best course of action for eye concerns, such as whether
an individual needs to wear eyeglasses, or update an existing eye prescription.
Preventing blindness and counteracting eye
diseases and disorders is a significant responsibility, but it’s a mission that
Dr. Gordon, Dr. Gerchman, and the staff at SPECS are passionate about.
“We work very hard to maintain the best possible
care for our patients, working with our patients to maintain a high level of
satisfaction,” Gordon said. “We can’t fix everything, but we work very hard at
it. Primary eye care is like being a gatekeeper for an individual’s health and
if we can’t resolve an issue, we can get them the resources for those who can
help them.”
SPECS offers annual eye examinations for those
with diabetes to prevent destructive eye damage and can refer patients to an
ophthalmologist for more significant cases and treatment requirements such as
surgery. They can also help with issues
such as dry eye, red, pink or sore eyes and specialize in pediatric eye exams.
Early identification of vision problems and overall eye health is crucial. It
is recommended that you have your kids’ eyes checked before entering first
grade, unless you have a suspicion of issues before that.
“An exciting part of our profession is the continually
evolving technology used in eye care,” Gordon said. “There are always new
things to learn in order to stay current. Eye
strain from computer use, and associated symptoms from overuse has been
increasing.”
The team of 12 at SPECS strives to make
everyone feel welcome at their practice. “Our key principle for a successful
business is to treat everyone who walks in through our doors the way I myself
would want to be treated,” Dr. Gordon said. “We try hard to do that with each
and every patient and it’s an essential element for all of us in this
business.”
SPECS is devoted to quality care, attentive
service and the latest in products at highly competitive prices. The optical
department rotates a variety of deals and packages, and with over 800-plus
frames between both offices along with a wide range of contact lenses, you are
sure to find the perfect fit for your your needs. Anyone can visit SPECS
optical department with a current prescription without an appointment or to
take advantage of their onsite optical repairs.
Even if you don’t think you have vision
problems, it is still a good idea to have frequent eye exams. The eye provides
a clear view of blood vessels which can tell a lot about your general health. New
patients are welcome and they accept most insurances, so call today for an
appointment to ensure your eye health. Call 207-655-2020 for Casco or
