Our doctors are highly trained to provide quality eye care. They provide comprehensive dilated ocular examinations to assess visual function and overall eye health. It is recommended that you have your eyes examined annually as early detection is the key to treating many eye problems. We offer exams for patients of all ages and recommend that children are seen at an early age to assess their visual development.

Wonderful eye care all around. I've been coming for many years for contacts and glasses and am so pleased with the level of care I receive from Dr. McPherson and her staff. The doctor has made some wonderful suggestions for improving my vision and I will be forever grateful. I've also recently taken my granddaughter for glasses and had an equally great experience. The practice is safe, clean, and provide great care.

Staff were not interested in looking into my insurance benefits - they basically tried to charge me full price for lenses then after I reviewed my benefits and told them what my coverage was they were like “oh ok- here you go” at the copay price. I felt like if I hadn’t pushed them to honor my insurance plan they would’ve just taken me for a couple hundred dollars.

I had a complete eye exam this Wed and was pleased that my eyes showed no signs of cataracts, glaucoma or macular degeneration. Even though the rest of me is falling apart, my eyes are holding up and it was really great to have that information, and in my case positive information. The office was nice; the staff and Dr. McPherson were competent, friendly and professional. The visit was painless and actually pleasant with cordial conversations. I recommend this practice for the care of your eyes. The office is located in the heart of Kennett and there is a free parking lot behind the office. It

This is my all-time favorite eye care practice. It's local and there's a real feeling of family when you walk through the door. All the staff are very professional and friendly. My eye exams are very thorough, and Marta always helps me pick out the best-looking frames. I even love the interior decor, which is cozy and not institutional. This place is so much better than "mall doctors" and the chains you see at strip shopping centers.

Now known as Kennett Square eye care, this is THE place to go if you want quality care for your eyes. I saw Dr. McPherson and she was awesome. She took the time to really understand my concerns about my vision and gave me a thorough exam. And I love the glasses I got! Rose Gold Gwen Stefani glasses that are super cute and fit my face great. Everyone at Kennett Square Eye Care truly cares about the patient's experience. I will be definitely going back.

I've been going to Dr. Kanofsky's office for over 30 years now and have never been disappointed. I always feel like part of the family every time I go for a check up. They seem to genuinely care about your eye health and take the time to hear your concerns. They don't rush you like other places and the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. They go the extra mile to satisfy the patient. I've tried other places and they don't come close the level of service Dr. Kanofsky's office provides. I strongly recommend this office to everyone.

Quality family eye care that goes above and beyond one's expectations. At Dr. Kanofsky's office, the staff and doctor's were perhaps the most patient, helpful, and friendly eye care team (and health care professionals) I have ever encountered. The doctor's are willing to squeeze you in, even when presented with a tight schedule because they care about their patient's health. They also spend time with their patients in order to establish a real patient-doctor relationship. I definitely would strongly recommend this office to anyone!
