I had been going to another practice for years. However they'd sold to a corporation, it was…read moredifficult to reach them, etc., and I wanted to change. My PCP recommended Dr. Chan. I went to her because my eyes were terribly irritated. Her office scheduled me the same day I called, and Dr. Chan was wonderful. She diagnosed the problem and prescribed drops that took care of it. I had to email her over a weekend with a question, and she responded the same day. Today I went for a follow up and annual eye exam, including contacts. She had ordered a new type of contacts for me, after listening to my issues with the ones I'd been using. The new lenses are great, and my vision is 20/20 with them. Dr. Chan is friendly, knowledgeable, empathetic, explains everything thoroughly, and she listens. It's clear that she loves her work. The technician, Maria, is also extremely nice and competent. The women at the front desk are kind, welcoming, and friendly. I honestly could not have asked for a better experience, and highly recommend Dr. Chan.

This place is like a factory - overflowing waiting room, significant wait times between each tech…read moreetc.. Not a comfortable experience. Expect 2 hours + per appointment - 15 minutes of time with techs and and hour and 45 plus just waiting around once brought in for the appointment. First time this happened I just thought it was a fluke - but then this happened again. Folks are all kind - but expect multiple hours for eye appointments if you come here.

Mitesh Kapadia, MD PhD - A before and after.  Look no further!  My only regret was not having it done sooner.  I am almost 50 years old and I am loving my new look.

1 year ago a fraudulent spa injected a substance under my eyes and I had an allergic reaction…read morebecause the substance was not intended to be injected and they created horrible bags. I contacted several specialists and was referred to Dr. Kapadia, known as the best in Massachusetts. 1 year ago Dr. Kapadia said that he couldn't do anything until 6 months passed, I was frustrated, because I felt very ugly, but I trusted him. And it was the best thing I've ever done. I went back almost 1 year later and we scheduled the surgery, from the first appointment he was extremely honest with me about my expectations and realities. I had all the security and professionalism throughout the process, before, during and after. I would also like to talk about the team (they are extremely professional, kind, affectionate), many I don't remember the name but some that I remember I want to mention. Donna: the person who gave me all the necessary documentation for the surgery, such as payment, medical examination, medications, instructions, etc. Super attentive and dedicated, super available for all my questions. Jessica: She was responsible for my appointments, she even called me every day after the surgery to see if I was feeling well and if I needed anything, reminding me of details necessary for healing, if I was doing the compresses, all well detailed. Bárbara: I have never met such a genuine and loving human being in a professional environment as this woman, she was the first person who took care of me when I woke up after surgery. Barbara has a gift for caring. This woman is blessed and has uniquely contributed 100% to making my day full of joy. Today was my 1 week appointment after surgery, I already see a huge difference, my high esteem is back. Dr. Kapadia has already cleared me to start my routine because my recovery is great. My experience was not just a simple surgery, but surgery with the best surgeon in Massachusetts and the best team in Massachusetts, details make the difference. You make a difference in people's lives, thank you a million times over.

had 2 consults for the exact same upper eyelid surgery. both visits he changed his tune as it…read morepertained to anesthesia. At the first meeting I asked if he used prophepol and he said yes. He then went onto say , the anesthesia nurse would place something in my mouth to open my airway. At first I didn't think this was strange since I've had prophepol before many times for colonoscopies and upper endoscopies. the next day I was recapping my notes I had taken and I know this isnot done for prophepol sedation. My 2 nd consult 4 months later , Dr.Kapadia says , he prefers to use local sedation with lidocaine injections in the eyelids where you are totally awake but do dot feel pain. He said he prefers this method bc he can ask the patient to open their eyes so he can see where to stitch and therefore create the eyelid crease. I said wow! this is totally different than what my first meeting covered. I said I would think about it however, I would probably prefer prophepol sedation . Dr.Kapadia then replied, well we can adjust the dose so you can sit up and open your eyes. I then emailed Dr.Kapadia 2 weeks after my 2 nd visit asking him if he provides the name of the anesthesia in writing . He has you sign a fee page stating if the patient is having anesthesia which is one price and another legal document if you choose to be awake with local anesthetic. The reason wanted this inserted in his document he wants you to sign is because , general anesthesia is riskier and other shorter acting anesthesia like Versed doesn't make me feel well afterwards. Prophepol agrees with me the best and is a lesser risk than general anesthesia. in fact, Dr.Kapadia should be thankful that a patient is divulging this info about what their experience with various types of anesthesia ! in fact it is less of a risk for him! Dr.Kapdaia responded to my email, by saying I didn't trust him and he could use general anesthesia or in fact any any anesthesia he feels the patient responds to. That's not how it's supposed to work! You don't wait until the patient is ready for surgery and guess or try different methods! Dr. Kapadia can't be trusted !My guess is when anesthesia is used, he does whatever he wants bc, the patient will never know! I had asked if when the patient is prepped for surgery does the anesthesia nurse review the risks and what to expect when being administered anesthesia drug ,prophepol showing them the drug and how it is administered. Dr.Kapadia's response was " you don't trust me and we won't put anything we are administering in writing , nor will we show you what we are administering. stay away ! it's an expensive surgery Buyer beware!

Mitesh Kapadia, MD PhD - I had both upper and lower done by Dr Kapadia.  If you have been looking for the best, look no further! I wish I had done it sooner.

I don't leave yelp reviews often but felt that I had to in this case. Today is day 4 after having…read moreLASIK and it went as smooth as it possibly could have. Everyone in the office was incredibly friendly, and kept me calm through the procedure. My eyes healed quickly, and it's amazing to be able to walk around without my glasses. As someone else already mentioned, it was $6,000, but I'd suggest paying up for the doctor that's going to be shooting lasers into your eyes... Will update if my vision changes in the future, but for now, I couldn't recommend Dr Kornmehl more.

Stay away! He's all in it for the money. He put in silicone punctal plugs that kept coming out…read morewithin a week or two. Every time I went back for him to reinsert new plugs, he charged me a surgical copay. Then office staff tried to get me to do lipiflow, offering installment payments and charging a certain percentage interest. I felt like I was shopping at a car dealership. He also wasn't helping me with my dry eye by not telling me things that would help with the DED, like preservative free tears, mask at night, etc. Finally I found one of the best dry eye specialists in Boston area that really helped me with dry eye and used collagen plugs that never came out. When I told the new doctor my experience with Dr Kornmehl (didn't name him), he said let me guess who you went to and he guessed right. So if you suffer dry eye, stay away. There are a few really good dry eye doctors in the Boston area that will care about you and your eye health and not be in it for the money. He's no different than a car salesman.

My daughter who just turned 4 has been going here to see Dr. Amita Bhatt when she was just 2 months…read moreold because our peditrician saw that her eye crossing seemed to be more than your typical new baby crossing. We continued to see her a few more times till she was 6months and her crossing had not cleared but become more easily definable and the appointments were uppped to try to get good measurements till she was 9 months and Dr Bhatt performed surgery on both eyes (she had infantile esotropia) and we saw amazing results within days of the surgery. We still continue to see her every 6 months and every appointment it amazes me how patient she is and how sweet she is with the kids, she is one of the reasons my daughter has no fear of doctors or hospitals and we look forward to seeing her every time. Dr. Bhatt was also great and had even asked us if we wanted to get a second opinion when she could tell we were worried and even gave us a list of doctors she recommended. The staff there as well were amazing, between the assistants who perform the tests ahead of time and take down our information to the staff that schedule appointments and helped us go over what to expect when it came time to scheduling for surgery. We highly recommend the office!

Did not have a good experience with Dr Carmody - to much to get into Front desk is understaffed in…read moreIMO. Then get ready to WAIT - way past your appointment
