David N. Stein, O.D.
Dr. David N. Stein, a board certified optometrist is DPA and TPA licensed to use diagnostic and therapeutic medications.
I have been around my father’s office since I was 9 years old. I have seen first hand how he changed people’s lives by making them see better. And I still have some of those patients today that my father first served 40 years ago.
I love the look on my patients’ faces when I show them how they will see with their new glasses or contact lenses.
