Patient appointments are available from Monday to Saturday, including evening and same-day visits. Eye Specialists Center is the evolution of the practice started in 1957 by Karl E. Ticho, MD and has grown to include three additional partners: (Dr. Karl’s son) Benjamin H. Ticho, MD, Jonathan Buka, MD and Alexander J. Khammar, MD. They are all board-certified ophthalmologists, sometimes known as «Eye MDs» because they are medical doctors. The practice also includes several other doctors, and has an in-house optical department for patients’ convenience.
