Countryside’s eye care continues in East Lake.

For decades, many Countryside families saw Dr. Joseph Hatala at his practice in Countryside Mall. When he retired in 2025, he entrusted his patients and records to Dr. Tumolo, and his practice became part of our East Lake office, about 10 minutes north.
