Exciting Announcement of Practice Merger
Dr. John Kaknis and Dr. Elaina M. Groo of Hudson Valley Eye Doctor are delighted to announce that
as of Jun 1, 2018 we have combined  practices.
                                                                                  
​Why are we merging?
      Dr. Kaknis and Dr. Groo have been in solo practice for many years.  And after many years of solo practice, the demands and pressures on an optometrist are forever increasing and we need to change and adapt to meet these needs.  Having two practices working as one will help us achieve this. 

     Individually both successful practices with similar, patient centered approaches to care, and have a shared belief in making a continued positive difference to our patients.  We feel now is the right moment to seize the opportunity to build and expand on our successes by combining our efforts.

     As of June 1,2018, it will be “business as usual” for our patients with some changes and improvements.  All our patients from both practices will continue to access our services using the same phone numbers..
