Hello - I wanted to…read moreexpress to those considering seeing a Hearing Specialist in Central Connecticut that the Hear Again Center in Vernon is terrific. I am writing this on behalf of my parents Angelo & Carol Gesmundo, and have been to this office with them and seen first-hand how wonderful the service they provide. The staff at Hear Again are excellent at evaluating your current hearing, fitting hearing aids so they are comfortable, and adjusting the volume so that the aids work at their maximum levels. In particular, my parents rave about Allison Blunt, pictured with them below. Allison has a wonderful sense of humor, is smart, thorough, polite, and makes their visits to Hear Again fun! The quality of life of my mom & dad vis a vis their hearing has improved tremendously since they've obtained hearing aids. For all of these reasons, my parents and I STRONGLY recommend Hear Again, and ask for Allison Blunt specifically! She is so outstanding at her job, and if you are nervous about seeing a hearing specialist you will be at ease immediately.

My 93 year old mother had a small stroke 3 weeks ago. She came home from the hospital and she said…read moreshe could not hear very well. I called Ellie Kartsen and she said to to bring them right down and she would be able to look at them. I waited in the parking and within 20 minutes she cleaned the aids and my mother was able to hear again. Great service with a smile. My mother had a set back from her stroke and she back in the hospital again and she was sent to a rehab facility. When we called the rehab facility about bring up batteries for her hearing aids, they said she only had the right not the left. Again I called Ellie and said the hospital lost the aid and we needed to order another left. She said it was not so easy to order one without her coming in for testing and that was not possible at this time.Ellie called the factory and was able to pull off a miracle and ordered another hearing aid for my mother. Ellie has gone above and beyond with her professionalism, service and compassion for her patients.

This place will let you rot before they see you on an emergency basis. My husband has been a…read morepatient of this practice for over 30 years when Dr. Weinberg started the practice. One day he had an acute bout of dizziness, loud ringing in his ear and severe nausea. I called the office to see if I could get him in. I told them his symptoms and stated how sick he was. They then told me that he could not be seen for a little over a month and a half. That he needed to have a hearing test first. I said he can hear just fine,, this is an acute thing and can a doctor at least look in his ears?! The woman on the phone said NO it is standard protocol to have a hearing test first to determine the cause. She then said to go to a walk in clinic. We had no choice so that is what we did. They basically gave him pills for dizziness because they were not equipped to check him out like an ENT doc would. His symptoms subsided a little over the course of a week, but he never completely got rid of the dizziness. Three weeks later it happened all over again. I called again and said he needs to be seen because this is twice in less than a month that this has happened. Again she said we have no openings until the appointment which was still over a month away. Complete lunacy!! Then four days before his appointment that we waited so long for, we get a letter in the mail stating that we needed to call them because they needed to reschedule the appointment!! Fist of all,, they couldn't call us? They send a letter for us to call? When I called, she said that they had to reschedule do to being down to only one audiologist and it was yet another month before he could be seen!! I said what??!! Really?! You let your patients suffer this long?? And now even longer?? I then said to the receptionist to completely take my husband off the list and also as a patient and that I was going to find another ENT office that cares about their patients. And I did. And they got him in in two days. What doctor cannot even take 10 minutes within a two month span to even check their patient's ears? This was a complete waste of time on my husband's part feeling awful for almost two months straight. And nothing but complete aggravation on top of it!! I would give no stars if I could. Go find yourself a more caring office.

Everything started out great. Then he told his assistant to…read morecall in a barium swallow. 9 days later, and nobody has called. I called Hartford Hospital and UHC. Nobody had anything from Dr Andrews. I waited until Monday.... still nothing. I called UHC, and they called the office. Nobody picked up so they left 2 voice mails. That triggered the test. Now, they are ignoring me to for a follow-up appointment? 3 radiologist, told me to eat puree until I see him, yet nobody will answer me in the online portal. Contacting my primary to see what he thinks I should do. Healthcare is a mess and I'm sick of being kicked to the curb. All I did was show up to my appointment, the staff is awful and now, I'm left with no ENT to tell me how to proceed? I need an endoscopy according to the test results. There is an "arch" that is "rare" and a "delay" in swallowing. Italian Ice and yogurt...Losing weight. Disappointed.

They are kind and compassionate, but most importantly, they are knowledgeable and patient. They exhaust all non invasive treatments before suggesting surgery - they truly want what's best for the patient. Even better is the fact most of the less invasive options (ablation, injections, etc) are done right in office, allowing for continuity of care and more expediency. I was a very anxious patient leading up to my surgery and my multiple repeated questions were answered with care and compassion. I had multiple visits with the surgeon (Dr. Eisler) before settling on surgery and feeling truly comfortable because of a less than optimal previous spine surgery (different dr). He was an active listener and participant in my care the entire time. He reassured me he would meet with as many times as necessary to make sure I felt comfortable and educated on my condition and needed surgery. I'm happy to say the majority of my pain is gone post surgery (4 months) and I have my life back. I can't thank Dr, Eisler and his team enough. From the efficient and informative office staff, to the medical assistant, everyone in this office is top notch.

"And I will sing Waiting for the gift of sound and vision"…read more(David Bowie) One of the side effects of living in your town for almost 40 years is that your doctors eventually retire and you'll need to find a replacement. It happened with my primary care physician (as well as his replacement). It happened to my dentist. And it happened to my eye doctor. So that explains why in December 2015, I became a patient of Solinsky Eye Care when they took over my eye doctor's practice upon his retirement. Solinsky has ten locations across Connecticut, and I visit Dr. Jessica Olewnik at the Avon office. She has been fantastic to work with. She is friendly, personable, and extremely thorough and helpful. Solinsky is very proactive on keeping up with technology and industry advances. Did you have one of those field of vision exams? Just a few years ago, the current technology would have you stick your face into a contraption that reminded me of a submarine captain peering into a periscope, like Sean Connery did in "The Hunt for Red October". Well, that is no longer state of the art. Yesterday I had the same test using a Virtual Reality headset! And I have to mention Solinsky's Front Desk Associate (I'm embarrassed I can't remember her name) who may be the greatest goodwill ambassador I've ever seen in a medical setting. She's been there forever and is a holdover from Solinsky's predecessor.

They gave me an appointment for a week after I called. I arrived there at 7:30 am, Angela the Ophthalmic Nurse was very friendly, patient and sweet. She did some tests on my eyes, until the doctor arrived. Doctor Olewnik, confirmed I have dry eye. She prescribed me eyedrops, also gave me a sample of the same drops, so I could use them immediately, until my prescription arrived in the mail. My eyes have healed nicely, and are no longer watering. I'll be returning to Solinsky Eye Care for future eye care needs.
