Eyewear for Every Occasion at Cockeysville Opticians and Eyecare

Dr. Stephen C. Flemke is sole owner of Cockeysville Opticians & Eyecare (COE)  and River Hill Optical. He is a native of Phoenix, MD. He started working at COE when he was 19 years old. Post graduation, he has practiced at COE and other locations in the area for over 30+ years.

Dr. Flemke graduated from Pennsylvania College of Optometry (Salus University) in Philadelphia. His extensive training has touched on all aspects of eye care with a special emphasis on specialty contact lenses, diabetic eye disease, retinal conditions, and dry eye exams as well as routine eye care. Dr. Flemke is a part of a select group of optometrists in Maryland who are certified to treat medical eye conditions and dispense therapeutic medications. 

Dr. Denton was born and raised in the Washington DC area. She attended the University of Maryland where she received her Bachelor of Science in Zoology in 1985. She went on to receive her Doctor of Optometry degree from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry in 1990. She returned to Maryland to practice and has resided in Howard county since 1992, where she and her husband raised their two sons. She is a member of the American Optometric Association as well as the Maryland Optometric Association. 

Dr. Leslie Toll joins Cockeysville Opticians & Eyecare after almost 26 years in the Baltimore area. A native the Pittsburgh, PA suburbs, Dr. Toll moved to Maryland with her husband after graduating from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry (now at Salus University). During her time in optometry school, Dr. Toll received honors in her externships, was class president for most of her time there, as well as Orientation Director. A “people person,” Dr. Toll feels one of the joys of being an optometrist is not only providing exceptional eye care to her patients, but getting to meet so many wonderful and interesting people. 

In her free time, Dr. Toll enjoys reading, crafting, photography, spending time with her two sons, and binge-watching shows with her husband. Although her roots are outside of Pittsburgh, PA, you can find her cheering on the Orioles and Ravens.
