Dr. Bloom is a star

Dr. Bloom and Gregory have helped my daughter with a visual tracking disorder. She can now do computer work and read without distraction, and her school work has improved tremendously. The staff are knowledgeable, professional, and kind.

My daughter suffered from a bad sports related concussion, and the entire staff at Whole Health supported my family at a time when I was really overwhelmed. Dr. Wallace and Dr. Bloom were so incredibly helpful and generous. They were able to diagnose my daughters post concussion problems, and the vision therapy with Gregory was a game changer. Not only did his exercises help heal my daughters eyes, he helped her relax and gain confidence in her body again. He inspired her to trust herself. He believed the body could heal. Grateful is too small of a word for how I feel about this office and the staff. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I know both doctors at Whole Picture because Dr Wallace has been my mother's optometrist for many years. And Dr Bloom, who just came on board is now my doctor, since she now takes my insurance. They are BOTH EXTREMELY THROROUGH, great listeners and very smart doctors. They guide you through the process of making a diagnosis, and it is hard work since so many things can affect your eyes. I had been to the leading optometrists in Ithaca area (no names mentioned) but came away feeling empty and disappointed since they only took about 20 minutes reviewing my case and had very little follow through. In contrast, Whole Picture really does review all the angles related to your eyes - muscular, neurological, environmental, until they have enough information to make the right diagnoses. THey involve you in your own aftercare, believing you will be motivated to take care of your vision. I am very impressed with Whole Picture.

It’s great! When getting tested for ADHD my doctor mentioned that my problems could be do to visual tracking issues. We came here and it turns out that that was one of my problems. Since then I’ve been seeing Gregory every week (and now every other week) and it has greatly improved my focus and ability to read large portions of text.

Excellent experience. Our son is reading so much better since he began his therapy. We couldn’t be happier with the results. The staff is kind and attentive. I highly recommend them.

Dr. Bloom gives the most thorough eye exam I have ever had in my 65 years. She explains what she is doing and why she is doing it, offers suggestions for eye health, and is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. I am thrilled to have found a doctor so dedicated, caring, and intelligent. Both my husband and I travel close to an hour to see her and it worth every second to get the eye care she provides.

What is Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy is an individualized treatment plan prescribed by a Doctor of Optometry. It is used to treat eye conditions, such as strabismus (eye turn) or amblyopia (“lazy eye”). Through Vision Therapy, a Doctor of Optometry also teaches, improves and/or reinforces important visual skills, such as eye tracking, eye focusing and eye teaming abilities. Without these visual skills, simple tasks like reading or copying notes from the board become difficult. Skipping words or lines while reading, using a finger while reading, blurry near vision, double vision, eyestrain and/or eye fatigue are also common symptoms.
