I brought my elderly parent in for her appointment yesterday. The doctor and his support staff are…read moreso nice, caring and thorough however, the two women at the checkout desk were so rude and unfriendly. The first one we went to just pointed to the next window- no smile, just a finger pointing. The second one had no greeting, no smile, just a big sigh and said to the rude woman at the other desk "what are we supposed to do with these?" Then she said that she wasn't going to do anything unless "she" was there - no idea who "she" is but I'm guessing it's a supervisor. So, another big sigh and said to me,"well, I'm not doing this so we'll have to call you later". I asked why I couldn't make the next appointment for my parent and she said, "she's not here and I'm not doing anything unless she says ok". Again, no idea who "she"'is. I asked for them to call me to schedule the appointment and she slapped a piece of paper down and said, "what number" so I gave it to her. 24 hours later still no call so I called the office and the very nice man who I spoke with said that they booked the appt already. I explained that they were supposed to call me and we never got a call, and that time was extremely inconvenient and we cannot make that time. He apologized but said that's all there is and there is no waiting or cancellation list but I could call back every day. So, while the medical staff is fantastic, the office staff needs some training on being friendly, as well as flexibility in scheduling. Rating is really 5 stars for doctor and nursing staff and 1 star for office staff.

I go back on everything I previously wrote. Why you ask? The doctor we'd been seeing moved on. I…read moreget a call Monday regarding Saturday's appointment. Are you telling me that the doctor just "walked" with no notice? I wish I knew where the doctor moved on to 'cause my family needs a new eye doctor now. I get a call less than a week before the three Saturday appointments (back to back) I'd set up over a month ago for myself, my husband and my son. Do you know how hard it is to book three appointments in the same block on a Saturday when your daughter does dance, your son does karate, your husband works nights and needs to sleep late in the mornings and you are running around like a nut case taking care of all of this. I booked things around these appointments because seeing the eye doctor is more important than a mani/pedi appointment or any other similar "pretty" appointments. This was the second time in less than a year that I've been "rescheduled." When I indicated this to the office she tried to "rebook" me. However, she didn't even realize she was rebooking a family of of three appointments. What was she going to do, call me three times to rebook us? So a July appointment for my family was about to turn into a September appointment to make it work for my calendar (something I'd already worked out if they'd only kept the appointments as is.) I informed the woman not to bother and that I'd be taking my family to another doctor's office -- one that actually keeps appointments. This prompted the office manager to call me back to try and resolve the situation. I'm at work while all of this is going on. I inform the office manager that I couldn't entertain the conversation since I was at work. She says she understands and lets me go. So with all of this the doctor calls. Again, he tries to keep my family there. He "agrees" to come in for the appointments as booked. At this point I start feeling like he's doing ME a favor. REALLY??? I attempt to let the doctor go as politely as possible but he wouldn't let me get a word in edge wise. I'm a receptionist. The office phone rang. I had no choice but I hung up on him. What does he do, he calls BACK and says that HE couldn't get his side in. HELLO???? This is a doctor's office -- not a hair dresser. Keeping appointments is more important than not in this business. You want to reschedule my hair appointment -- fine -- annoying but easily done more often than not. You want to rebook an overdue eye exam because you did't keep your last appointment -- not professional. Think twice -- that's all I can say.

The front desk were very friendly, and sorted out my insurance issues so the exam was covered - going so far as to make the annoying phone calls on my behalf. Dr. Chin was similarly awesome, friendly and helpful with questions, doesn't have that 'rushed' vibe that doctors often have.

I've always received excellent care from Dr. Terry Chin, but my recent experience with the front…read moredesk was very disappointing. When I called about my prescription expiring on 11/26, I scheduled the next available appointment for 12/30, which meant I would be without contacts for 13 days and needed a few sample lenses to bridge the gap since I couldn't purchase more with an expired prescription. When I requested samples, the receptionist was dismissive and offered no help. When I asked if she could check with Dr. Chin, she replied--in a tone that made me feel as if I should have known better--that he was with patients all day. I explained that I understood, but hoped she could ask him at some point when he wasn't actively with a patient. Despite this, she never followed up. I emailed the office today, following up on my call from Monday, explaining the terrible experience I had with the woman I spoke with and again asking that my message be passed along to Dr. Chin, as he deserves to know why a long-time patient is leaving. And once again--no response. At the very least, a response to my email should have been a basic professional courtesy, but I didn't receive any acknowledgment whatsoever. Do better, front office at Andover Eye. After reading other reviews of AEA, there seems to be a consistent theme of dissatisfaction with the front desk staff. It's surprising that nothing has been done to address it, and it makes me wonder whether the doctors are even receiving this feedback. I hope this message ultimately reaches Dr. Chin. He has always been excellent, but the lack of support and communication from the front desk ultimately led me to seek care with a new provider. On a positive note, I want to give a shout-out to the optical office staff--they have consistently been terrific.
