Eye doctors continue family tradition

By on No Comment

Grattan Optometry has offered family eye care since 1902. Two new partners continue the family tradition.
Dr. Darren Smarch, O.D., and Dr. Jill Schnurer, O.D., began working at Grattan Optometry in 2008 and found the transition smooth as they became partners this past September.
‘We are happy to continue the legacy,? said Smarch.
Grattan Optometry offers comprehensive eye exams for patients of all ages, contact-lens fittings, examinations for cataracts, glaucoma screening and diabetes test.
‘Diabetes is a big public health issue right now,? said Smarch.
He added it is important to see a general practitioner and have the eyes evaluated because it’s one of the biggest complications when diabetes are concerned.
The two have worked elsewhere but enjoy working in Clarkston, especially since they live in the area.
‘It makes it really convenient for us to help the community and get involved,? said Smarch.
Smarch and Schnurer chose to stay in the community because of the people and the town.
‘It was just a great fit for us,? he said.
‘Everyone is so nice,? Schnurer said.
Both enjoy the community events and are looking to take part in some events.
‘It’s something we haven’t done in the past,? Smarch said. ‘Currently we are working with Clarkston’s Lions Club to help with eyewear and examinations for those in need. We are also looking to do a fundraiser with them.?
Since they started, they remodeled the office and have updated equipment to give patients more care.
‘We offer patient satisfaction and down home patient care,? said Schnurer. ‘We are going back to basics. We are here to serve.?
