I came here after my previous eye doctor closed. My new glasses caused headaches and blurry vision in my right eye. Over three visits in three months, I repeatedly raised these concerns and was told it was dry eye and given drops. They refused to trial a new lens or reassess the prescription, despite my requests. I've worn glasses for longer than the dr has been practicing and I know when something isn't right. I left feeling dismissed and unheard. A total waste of my time, I could have had this corrected by now. Would not recommend. read more

Dr Kristin is a great dr,I was there yesterday April6 th 2026 between 2:20-240 pm, the first 2 women working behind the desk,after I sat down made a remark about my partial hair piece,since I wear it due to several skin cancer removals,one other patient just shook his head,hearing it also,Don Stemmer should be made aware of these 2 women being very rude towards a 80 yr old patient,u can surely see it on your cameras,when I checked out,the woman in the center kept starring at me,it's on camera,I will never return there,it's suppose to be workers respecting the patients read more

The surgical coordinator, Denise Garcia, has been extremely unresponsive. I have called multiple times and sent emails, yet have not received any reply. This is especially concerning as I am trying to schedule a surgery. It raises serious concerns about how communication would be handled if complications arise after the procedure or if I need assistance. read more

Opticians are very helpful and knowledgeable. This is the second pair I bought and the staff is great.

Presale customer service was excellent. Person was very knowledgeable and attentive. Provided guidance and answered all questions and concerns. Pickup experience was a bit odd. I needed an appointment but it was unclear why. The attendant just handed the glasses over along with the case and cleaning kit. She did not spend anytime checking fit or making any adjustments. read more

I had a laser procedure at Atlantic Eye's Eatontown, NJ facility. The staff was friendly and professional from the moment you walk in until you leave. Dr. Fegan explained every detail of the process from start to post-op in detail. The staff is very knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure. I am a patient of Atlantic Eye for all my eyecare needs!! read more

Great experience. There should be a way to track and expedite glasses. I need them for vision therapy in NYC and it took over a week. Tracking should be monitored and an txt update to the patient include. Insurance is a problem. I have united healthcare vision and the person assisting me kept telling me I did not have vision. I needed clarification so I pursued my claim thru united healthcare. Would have prefered that that i not get involved in the paperwork and and just pay the differece. read more

Professional and courteous, girls couldn't have been more kind and helpful. This made it an anxiety free experience!

Great experience and great customer service. Definitely would recommend Atlantic Eye.

I have been a wearer of eyeglasses since the 5th grade. And because of that, I have had numerous interactions with opticians, optical associates, opthamologists, nurses, and office staff at many Optical offices throughout the northeast. without Question, Atlantic Eye has been head and shoulders the best experience that have had ever. I want to express kudos to Dr. Fegan, Denise, as well has Rebecca in the Optical department and everyone at Atlantic Eye for their caring and professionalism!!! if I could give them 10 Stars , I would. read more

The Best of the Best in eye care! My yearly comprehensive exam was last week and I continually marvel at the latest exam devices here. It seems that each year my examination is completed with a minimum of time,yet with the highest quality of results. From the Staff to my Doctor, everyone is focused on patient care and comfort. I highly recommend Atlantic Eye!​ read more

They completely overbook in eatontown. It's been 1.5 hours and still waiting to see Dr. every time. They see you initially and move you to the back til a room is available !!! Worst service read more

Dr Hall is a nice and considerate doctor who is friendly, but anything after that was complete nightmare. Was referred to go there went to Little Silver on December 20, Dr Hall diagnosed cataracts in both eyes left being worse.They then scheduled me for next visit in Holmdel on December 31 with doctor Kristan who had family emergency and Rescheduled for January 6th. Scheduled left eye surgery for January 21, when I got there spoke to another patient who said his surgery last week was canceled week before as he arrived for family emergency. I had surgery on that date January 21, presurgery nurse and doctor were yelling at each other saying they were under staffed, I to say the least was uncomfortable, went in for surgery doctor Kristan seemed to have a problem getting old lens old and seemed frustrated and then shooting pain in eye. Went back next day for follow up was cleared. Returned January 27 with pain blurry vision and discharge was told I had blocked tear duct and put hot compress on it. They proceeded to ask me for my 300 dollar out of pocket payment for next surgery, which was scheduled for February 4th, which they called 2 days later to cancel a week before surgery for family emergency. Ended up in hospital February 10th with infection on left side of face horrible headaches and low vision spent 3 days in hospital, left side of my face was so messed up they thought I was having stroke. Not to mention Dr Kristan refused to fill out short term disability paperwork with proper dates. And to make matters worse a surprise bill that their Atlantic Eye Care Center Surgery center is out of network and a bill for 2600. Today is Mar 4th and vision is still blurry, I have made an appointment with different provider in hopes to get my vision back. I WOULD SUGGEST NEVER GO TO ATLANTIC EYE CARE read more

Atlantic Eye - Optometrists Near Me - Eatontown, New Jersey

This office made an appointment with me on an emergency basis on Friday, to meet Dr. Patel this Monday at 1:30. over the weekend, I got messages from them, saying that our appointment was with a different doctor, at a different location, Tuesday (today, Valentine's Day) at 9:30. None of this works for me. I had a serious, optical emergency, actually, I still do but this office is a mess , Dr. Patel was in fact out of the office, won't be back until March, no one will own or explain the epic mistake in making my appointment. After going to three different offices in New Jersey, I am getting my serious and terrifying eye condition treated in New York City because there is not a single eye doctor in this state that seems to give the tiniest iota of a crap about the welfare of their patients. So much malpractice, it is just staggering. My advice, is do not get eye problems in New Jersey because there is no one in the state who knows or cares how to treat you. It is just shocking and appalling. read more

I've seen other negative reviews and believe that this must come down to the doctor/team with which you work. Dr. Fegan was spectacular throughout the entire process of my cataract surgery on both eyes. He is both very smart and very patient and willing to talk through the options and process with you. I opted for light-adjustable lenses that worked perfectly to give me the vision outcome I had hoped for. I'm writing this after my final check-up so that I could give a review on the full process. Jamie (Dr. Fegan's assistant) and Melissa (surgical coordinator) went above and beyond my expectations throughout the process and all of the support staff was professional. I can say with 100% confidence that I'd recommend Dr. Fegan and his team to anyone. read more

Dr Tsai "sold" me on scleral contact lenses without an adequate briefing of the potential problems. There was a trial period after which I would get back $1200 out of $2000 if I returned them. The initial fitting was awkward and difficult with no proper designated area for inserting the lenses with a flat surface, only a dirty mirror on my lap. The claims that these lenses would treat my dry eye was a big factor in my decision to try them. After my first followup appointment the lenses clouded up and my eyes became very bloodshot. The lenses were very uncomfortable by the time I got home. Removing the lenses once I got home was difficult. I called for an earlier follow-up but was given an appt in 2 weeks. Front office staff is not well trained or particularly helpful. I have been wearing contact lenses for over 50 years. Dr Tsai is a young fast talking guy who when I returned the lenses due to all of the above became very defensive when I did not agree with him that it was all "worth a try". Losing $700. because of a failure to adequately explain the potential draw backs of these lenses and shabby front office service is not my idea of it being in anyway fair that I was screwed out of $700.00. I do not recommend this practice. read more

I had cataract surgery and the lens that was implanted was a new lens with few reviews. I could not see near, mid, or far. Bevore surgery I questioned Dr Patel about this lens and told him on a patient forum quite a few said they did not have great clear vision . I had skepticism anout it and now its been 2 months and still see blurry and can't drive at night. The surgery center moved and I was scheduled Sept 1 and then they canceled to Sept 8. No one called me day before after i cancelled my classes and husband asked for day off. When I tried calling several times phone call cancelled. I had to take off from work, drive there to find out whats going on and I was told "No one called you"? We aren't scheduling surgeries now! I got a partial refund. After taking another eye test after three weeks, technician told me after 2800 I should be seeing better and to make sure Dr Patel doesn't brush you off. im a professional high profile portrait painter and for two months I am dealing with this. Atlantic Eye has made qiite a few errors! i do not recommend and will be going into NYC where they spend time listening to what the patients work and life is and not brush you off! Totally unprofessional! read more

F this place Rip me off every time my doctor is not in bring me in anyway to do what they want to do not what I need (frivolous eye exams and vision tests ) when I am in for dry eyes . Asked to have my eyelids looked at and they just shined light in my eyes . Sent me on my way , still make you wear a mask they are that out of touch . This place is a scam . Go here if you wana ruin your day read more

I had my first cataract surgery in 2013 with Dr. Su at Atlantic Eye, but he was no longer there. Dr Su had ordered my previous 1999 Lasik surgery records to make the calculations for the cataract replacement lens. The Crystallens that he gave me was great and I had no problems seeing with it all of these years. My second cataract surgery was done by a new doctor named Jonathan Kristan in Oct 2021. He knew that I had previous Lasik surgery and that Dr Su at Atlantic Eye had performed my cataract surgery in 2013. I told him that my old chart should be there with the Lasik information. Dr Kristan did not review my old chart or order the surgical record for my Lasik surgery. He put in a lens that changed my vision to far-sighted (hyperopia). I can not see near with the new lens and I am constantly dizzy and off-balanced because of the difference in the 'good' eye and the new lens. At the follow-up visit, he said that it was difficult to choose the correct lens because of the previous Lasik surgery. I asked him if he had gotten the old chart with the Lasik information....he did not respond. I told him that I would order the Lasik record again so that I could get the correct lens. He told me that I should get glasses. I got glasses and contact lenses, but I still feel dizzy and off-balance even with them..... I do NOT recommend Atlantic Eye Physicians. End of my comment is here. Nothing follows. Yelp posted this with wrong name and city. Correct city is Eatontown NJ. read more

never answer their phones, never return msgs left with the ans. service. A mismanaged practice similar to most doctors' practices. read more

All of the doctors I have seen here are amazing and so is all of the staff. They are extremely patient and knowledgeable. I also got my glasses from here and they are the best glasses I have ever had in my life. I love them and see so well. I have been to all of the locations and never had a poor experience anywhere read more

Pay attention to the other negative reviews because this practice should be avoided to the point that it inspired me to write my first Yelp review. I have a diagnosed pre-condition that makes me Covid susceptible. I explained this staff and asked if I could wait in my car until the appointment and was told no. I then observed the staff walk around the office without masks, particularly the blonde female eyeglass vendor who was more interested in conducting details with a house closing over the phone than practicing safety practices for their patients. After inquiring about staff safety procedures, I waited 45 minutes past my appointment time and came in contact with a half-dozen additional patients who came in after me and were seen before me. I could no longer put myself in that level of risk and left without seeing the doctor. AVOID! read more

I went to Atlantic Eye for my 2 eyes. The place and people were horrible. Do yourself a favor and stay clear of this place. I had Dr.Bontempo and Dr.Patel. Dr.Bontempo talk to me about my diabetes and he weighs 300 pounds!! He wears hospital operating scrubs with his belly hanging out. Dr.Patel wanted me to wait 6 weeks just to see him. Long story short I went to Dr. Del Negro in Neptune and right now I have 20/20 on 2 new eyes. Dr. Del Negro is professional and gets the job done in an efficient manner. Atlantic is the WORST. Save yourself time and effort go to Dr. Del Negro!!! read more

Had cataract surgery here and so far so good. Parking was right in front...no hassle. Reception office was very tiny with above head TV. No coffee or water available for waiting caregivers which I thought was inconsiderate. Free WiFi provided though. Nursing care was great. I felt very cared for and comfortable. Dr. Goldberg is professional and very skilled. Although I waited a long time prior to my surgery, it was no fault of surgical center. Previous patient experienced some added unexpected difficulties during surgery which held me up. But I'm glad they took their time to see things through with that patient. I would expect the same for myself. I have another cataract surgery planned in 2 weeks for other eye. I chose to do monovision which means one eye for distance and one eye for reading. No glasses will be needed. Hoping this all works out. So far so good. All was very organized and communication was great between surgical coordinators, doctor and me. read more

Dr Fegan removed my cataracts and I paid extra for monovision lens as this worked great when I wore contacts. Well my near vision is terrible after surgery and he would do nothing not even a partial refund for the so called special lenses. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Tsai. I have multiple issues with my eyes (myopia, astigmatism, glaucoma...). After years of trying multiple contact lens at different offices, I was unable to see at 20/20. Dr. Tsai wanted better results for me. He took multiple steps that resolved and tried a few options to resolve my issues. He is very knowledgeable, patient and spends time with his patients. I did not think it was possible to achieve these results. My options were limited due to the complexity of my issues. Every time I had a question or concern, Dr. Tsai was phoned me back ASAP and truly listened and addressed and resolved my problems. I wish I found him sooner. read more

Do not use these people. They are very untrustworthy. I had eyelid surgery that they said would be covered but was told Medicare requires payment up front then I would be reimbursed. To make a long story short they told me it was cosmetic surgery and not covered. I was 77 at the time and would not need cosmetic surgery. I feel like I was scammed out of the money. read more

Our experience with Dr. Goldberg and the Little Silver office has been horrendous. I would never trust your eyes with him. He botched my husbands LASIK surgery. The front office people continue to book appointments with us, only to cancel a week before when Dr. Goldberg decides to go on vacation. Unfortunately, we moved to TN after the surgery and have to fly home for the appointments. This makes them canceling the appointments even worse. When he finally got in for a check up, the other doctor in the office saw him and agreed that he was not seeing as well as he should be and told him to get Dr. Goldberg to re perform the surgery. We booked an appointment for the Friday after Thanksgiving. He asked three times, "are you sure he is going to come in that day?" The answer was always a certain, "yes." Before booking our tickets to come back to NJ for Thanksgiving, we called one more time to check and lo and behold - he's not in that day. When were we going to get a phone call to cancel the appointment? The woman running the front office are stupid, lazy and rigid. They told us they would call us back - and never did. Not only has he ruined his eyes; Dr. Goldberg has basically made it impossible for my husband to get his eyes fixed. We are meeting with a lawyer instead of him the Friday after Thanksgiving. read more

This review is specific to the LITTLE SILVER office. I had a good first experience at the Long Branch location (2 years ago) but the Little Silver office is closer to my house and parking is easier there, so I made my next annual appointment in LS. Bad idea. It started when I called to make the initial appointment when the girl who scheduled my appointment was unnecessarily rude and nasty. I should've known right there how this experience was going to go. I get to the appointment and the same rude girl checked me in (I recognized her nasty tone). Not only was she short and flip with me, but other patients ahead of me. It's now my turn and a technician calls me back to check my eyes and dilate them. She asks me what I am here for. I say, "To get contact lenses." She very rudely states that I need a totally separate appointment for that and that it will cost me $175 out-of-pocket. I tell her that I made the appointment specifically to get contact lenses - apparently, they screwed up. What? Where did that come from? All I want is to be examined and for them to order me contacts, how hard is that? And where did the $175 come in to all this? Of course I know I have to pay for them! She brought me in to see the doctor who was fine. He said they will call me in a month when the contacts come in. Today I get a voicemail from a woman in the office who says, "You are scheduled on March xx at 10 am for your lens fitting. Please call back to confirm." I call back to say that I am unavailable at that time and to see what other dates/times are available. Very condescendingly, she states that these appointment are very lengthy and they are very hard to get (implying that I may not get one) and they she will call me back with another date. I said can't you call me back with a few dates/times so I can make myself available? She huffed and puffed and said she would have to call me back. Who just makes an appointment for a complete stranger, expects them to be there, and gets mad when they ask for an alternate date/time? This office is ran very poorly and the office manager should be aware. I understand that the doctors in this practice are outstanding but a staff like this is bad for business. From now on, I will be going to the LONG BRANCH office even if it means driving 20 extra minutes and dealing with a parking garage. read more

Atlantic Eye in Little Silver is terrible and always running way behind. Told us 20 minutes behind today, sat there for an hour. Lunch for the staff was delivered while I was sitting there. I wonder how patient these rude people are when they have to wait for a table in a restaurant.... Do yourself a favor and go see someone else. read more

I just made and appointment over the phone with the Long Branch office and it got me irritated the way that that guy was talking, like if I was bothering him, he couldn't help me scheduling a appointment because he kept giving the hours a told him I can't go. now that I see the others reviews I understand that this people are just rude and I'm canceling my appointment right away. read more

If I could give this office 0 stars I would. I made a morning appointment thinking it would be quick. I ended up waiting an hour and a half. When I finally saw Dr Patel he told me he didn't know why I was there. His staff made me an appointment with the wrong doctor, he doesn't drain styes, which was what I was there for. The Doctor tried to make it like it was my fault and blamed the wait time on their new updated computer system. Doesn't seem updated to me. Instead of admitting that his staff is a bunch of morons when I called to make an appointment to drain a stye. I will never go back to this office again your dealing with a bunch of idiots, doctors included. It is quicker to drive to Manhattan and back to see a real doctor. (For the record I have never written a review before but this office was just so horrible I have to warn people not to waste their time) read more

I was at the office twice for the same issue, and it was not corrected either time. The second time, I went home and had terrible eye swelling, burning, sensitivity, and pain following my dilation/contact exam. I called the doctor and he had no explanation of why that had happened. I was not given my contacts prescription upon leaving the office, even though I was there for a contact exam, and when I called to get it was told they can email it to me. When I called the optical department to email it to me, they said they weren't allowed to email contact prescriptions and I had to come back to the office to pick it up. I went out of my way to pick it up from the office, had to wait when I got there, and when I tried ordering my contacts online, I realized that Atlantic Eye wrote the wrong type of contacts on my prescription and I was not able to place the order. So I am now out of contacts because this process has taken so long, and I still do not have the correct prescription because there is no answer when I call the office. Terrible service, and very unhelpful staff. Will not be returning, and definitely do not recommend. read more

Awful awful place I would never recommend coming to see any of these doctors. They call you back and place you in a weird waiting room for 3 hours past your appointment time, after waiting 4 months to get an appointment with them. No one is friendly and every employee has a nasty attitude. They are all very rude and incompetent. I only gave them one star because I had to to post this. Not accommodating or helpful at all. NEVER go here. read more

What a horrible experience it's been to call Atlantic Eye physicians today. I needed to see the doctor as soon as possible but an unprofessional, incompetent woman who told me her name was Monica have asked me to call my insurance to find out if Horizon was OK. otherwise I would have to pay from my visit. I have told her that I have called Horizon and they already informed me that my insurance was just fine. After calling Horizon again, I was informed that this woman did not know what she was doing and that it was impossible for her not to know that my insurance was accepted. I have previously spoken to a man from the Long Branch office and he wondered if I knew the name of the person I had spoken before, referring (monica) unfortunately I told him that I did not ask her name until I made the forth phone call. After placing several calls to this office she denied me with an appointment because they were booked. I requested to speak with the manager, she put me on hold and told me he/she was busy. I told her I was going to write a complaint letter for the way she has treated me. After that suddenly found an hour for tomorrow. I do have a reference number provided by Horizon with all the information regarding the way this incompetent woman has treated me. read more

Everyone that I've worked with at Atlantic Eye Physicians, from the great Doctor Brian Hall to the wonderful people at the reception desks have been tremendous. I'd recommend this service to anyone! read more

Just had cataract surgery in both eyes. Dr. Kristan is professional, kind and caring. I had total confidence in him as a surgeon and his staff in the surgery center in Long Branch. I have had appointments in Long Branch, Little Silver, and Wall and have been happy with all of the offices. My husband also uses Dr. Kristan and Dr. Guerriero for diabetic care and a dimple on his retina. We are very happy with both of them. My husband is going to have cataract surgery soon by Dr. Kristan without any hesitation. read more

This is specifically for the Manasquan office. Patient's Beware! I chose this facility because they were part of my insurance plan, with a small copay. I decided to download the forms to save time when I arrived. When I downloaded the forms online there is a page snuck in there called "REFRACTION FEE" which describes an extra $45.00 after your copay. The fee is due at the time of your visit. I immediately called my insurance company who had never heard of this fee and are investigating. Basically, they charge you this fee for the prescription part of the exam. This has NEVER been an extra fee at any eye doctor visit that we have had and is typically included in the exam. But not for this office. What a SCAM!!! The girl on the phone said "Oh, I'm sorry, I'll tell our billing department". Even more annoying is that I almost drove 45 minutes to this appointment. When the appointment was made we asked if there were any other fees, and we're told No, just your copay. Had I not seen this prior to my visit, I would have made the 45 minute trip to this office and felt pressured to pay the fee. How awful that they don't disclose this at the time of scheduling! What a Shady Operation! read more

Would highly recommend this practice!! My 12 yr old son got hit in the eye yesterday and couldnt see. I called them in a panic and Dawn H. calmly and cooly collected my information and got me in to see them that day. We were seen by Dr Hall who explained everything to us and was both professional and friendly during the exam. Went back today for a follow up and had the same experience by the Dr and the staff. So glad I didnt just rush to the ER I feel like we are in excellent care with them. read more
