Meet Our Doctors and Staff

Are you looking for an optometrist that speaks English, Spanish or Polish? You’ve come to the right place! We take pride in serving our local communities in both Florida and New Jersey.

We find that our patients receive the best care when we can both speak the same language. That’s why we’ve taken the time to learn Spanish and Polish to best communicate with the patients in our communities.

Make an optometrist appointment today in either of our offices in Florida or New Jersey.

Dr. William Fruchtman O.D.

Dr. William Fruchtman O.D. has lived in New Jersey and moved to Florida in 2016, fulfilling a lifelong dream of living there since visiting the east coast of Florida as a young boy. Since moving to Florida, he has enjoyed the sunshine and exploring the state’s west coast. Growing up in New Jersey, Dr. Fruchtman is a true Yankees fan at heart. And his favorite football team is the Miami Dolphins. His interests include kayaking, bike riding, sailing, golf, attending Broadway shows, and exploring surrounding cities.
​
Dr. Fruchtman spends his time traveling between both the New Jersey and Florida offices regularly. To accommodate his varied clients, Dr. Fruchtman speaks English, Polish and Spanish—and he just might decide to learn a few more languages, too. Sometimes he likes to surprise his patients by answering them in Tagolog, Arabic, French, Greek, Hindi, Russian, Italian, Korean or Hebrew.
Dr. Fruchtman received his undergraduate degree from The University of Virginia and his Doctor of Optometry from New England College of Optometry in 1991.
