After 37 years in the eye care field, Dr. Gary Sterczek is limiting his active practice to a part time status in order to offer temporary fill-in Optometric services to the various eye care entities in the Chicago area. The Fill-In O.D. is unique in it's application of professional services offered to their clients in as much as consistency of professional services and expectations of the main doctor or managing optician are high in this competitive field. We specialize in providing fill-in temporary services for Optometric, Optician and Opthalmologic practices alike. The Fill-in OD understands the need for consistent eye care in a temporary setting. "Performance of the substitute doctor should be as seamless as possible; since the office is in an already stressful mode of having the main doctor away." says Dr. Sterczek. "We treat each temporary practice situation like it was our own home practice." Our compassionate, professional staff doctors are dedicated to providing the highest level of care possible. "Because we are Optometrist owned, we are patient care driven. This means that we can focus more on providing excellent care, and less on the necessity of having 'just a doctor there for a few days'." We are not affiliated with any large eye care corporation. The Fill-in OD provides effective care that is responsive to the needs of the eye care community in the Chicagoland area. Being Optometrist owned means that our doctors are able to focus on you!
