Dr. Dana Reinhardt, O.D.
Dr. Reinhardt received her Doctor of Optometry from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry. As an optometrist dedicated to myopia management, I believe taking a proactive approach to children's eye health is crucial to ensuring a healthy and clear future. Clear vision is essential to a child's development, education, and social confidence. Every child's healthcare needs are different, so working as a team with the entire family to find the best treatment match is something I am passionate about. There is nothing more rewarding than watching a child excel, and move on to achieve amazing things.
