I had a disappointing experience during a routine contact lens exam at Windham Family Eye Care…read more When I arrived, the front desk staff member told me she was locked out of the office computer system and could not log in to access insurance information. She even showed me the screen and explained that she couldn't access the insurance portals. I also observed multiple usernames and passwords written on sticky notes attached to the monitor. Because of this, the office could not verify my insurance benefits through Davis Vision. Despite not knowing my copay or contact lens allowance, I was told I needed to pay something and ended up purchasing a box of contacts for $85 out of pocket. A few weeks later I received a voicemail saying my contacts were ready and that I also owed $125 for the contact lens exam, which had not been disclosed during the visit. When I called to ask about it, I was told my contact lens allowance had already been used simply because the office billed the exam. This was frustrating because I had already paid for contacts out of pocket specifically because the office could not verify my insurance. After raising concerns, the exam fee was eventually waived, but only after a lengthy discussion. Overall the experience involved significant disorganization, lack of insurance verification, and unclear communication about fees and insurance benefits.

I wasn't a client then, but that treatment made me become one. had my first appointment today and I'm a patient for sure. the staff is lovely! super friendly, personable and engaging. the exam was thorough and comfortable. I felt like I had been a patient for years. if you are looking for that small town feel, where you feel like a neighbor, go here! I'm tired of feeling like a "number" everywhere you go these days. This was a refreshing and welcomed change.

My exam took place over a year ago, and since then I have moved so I am sad that I won't be able to continue to be a patient of Dr Bergeron. This review is not about the Lenscrafters side of the business, as my experience was entirely with Dr Bergeron. She did an excellent job getting me the right contact lenses, but I was most impressed with her ability to diagnose me when I had a health issue with my eyes. I have been wearing contacts for 15 years, and suddenly my eyes were extremely irritated. They were in pain and they were extremely red. I couldn't wear my lenses because of the pain, and had to wear my glasses (which are really thick and make me look like a huge nerd so I always avoid wearing them in public). I'm a teacher so my first thought was maybe I had gotten pink eye from one of my grubby middle school students, but Dr Bergeron said it wasn't pink eye (thank god!). She figured out that the particular contact lens solution I was using was causing a bacterial infection. I guess some people are sensitive to this particular type of solution, so she had me change to a peroxide based solution. This change was the cure - my eyes, which had been bothering me for weeks, were very soon feeling much better. Dr Bergeron did so much for me in the exam. She showed me all the graphics on her computer, explaining the shape of my eye and showing me that I have an astigmatism. She also explained why she believed my eyes were red; she was honest with me when she said she wasn't 100% sure that this was the reason, but based on research and readings she had done, she believed it was most likely the reason. Her instincts were totally right and she is clearly a dedicated and professional eye doctor who knows her stuff. Good eye doctors are hard to find. I really appreciate that Dr Bergeron did such a great job getting my contact lenses just right for me and especially for so quickly identifying the problem I was having with my eyes.

I bought a Burberry frame with the lense and hoping its a…read morebetter quality -unlike my cheap online typical purchases- after 4 weeks, my lense that was supposed to be anti-scratch on top other options, it scratch only on the right side right where my sight located the most. So i go back there and they said oh its because u dropped it and scratch the ground. So i went home because it avoid the warranty. Now is on a year after and i dont even use it because the scratch keep bugging me and i just saw underneath of my lense its peeling off. Idk what is that but it's obviously a cheaply made coating and sell it for overprice market. I need people to know that to bring your business elsewhere. Their 'opticians' has no optician skill, they were taught how to 'be optician' without knowing what exactly they have to do. I went to a different optical store and told them my experience, he said that he used to be hired there and teach those salespeople to be 'optician' wanna be. And he is the one that made me realize why the scratch is only on 1 side. Lense crafter, you should be ashamed of your self. Selling overpriced item with no quality. Now i doubt my frame is really burberry or just a knock-off and sell it for $600 for profit. I paid almost $700 for those pairs. My online glasses are better quality than theirs. Bellow my red glasses has been 4 years w me from online store. Check out the difference.

I was caught off guard and confused by being told that I booked a virtual eye exam. The woman who was checking me in then rudely comments "it says virtual right when you book online". Again, I'm confused because I have never heard of a virtual eye exam and I've been wearing glasses since childhood. I then tried to show her the email I received to confirm my appointment, which indicates nowhere that I scheduled a virtual appointment, to point out that the location of the appointment is at MyEyeDr at 8 Stiles Rd, Salem NH. Her response is "yeah that's the location". She also noted that "this just went into effect yesterday". And also that she tried calling me to make me aware that this was telehealth, I checked my voicemails and the only message I have from MyEyeDr is a voicemail from September 13 confirming an appointment for September 20 (which I had to reschedule to today, September 27). My overall experience was very poor, the woman checking me in made me feel like I was doing something wrong by showing up in person for an eye exam. Very rude, won't be returning. *to note- before posting this review I went to book another appointment to see there is any mention of a virtual appointment, and there is not.

I verified with UHC that LensCrafter's was in UnitedHealthcare's vision coverage on Nov 28. I also verified that the doctor we were seeing Dr. Abram was listed. The check-in female looked up the appointment and announced couldn't find my father's insurance on the portal. The check-in person said, "Perhaps the doctor is not with UHC". I said that was not true. Dr. Abram is listed with UHC. Then she said we could pay out-of-pocket. She asked if we wanted to reschedule. I said we did not. I got the impression she did not want to deal with a 92-year-old who uses a walker. He loves to read detective novels but needs new glasses. My husband and I both go to Dr. Abram's office (we have EyeMed insurance) and usually the check-in woman is snippy but mostly professional. I don't think she likes her job or old people. We can find another place that takes UHC and EyeMed.
