I am really upset with these guys! I had a great appointment with a new eye doctor who was so…read morecaring and great. He really helped me with suggestions for my dry eyes. Sadly, the prescription that I use for my dry eyes is VERY expensive ($250) but the eye drs always write up the prior authorization so the insurance will pay. Well, I called FIVE times last week and left messages bc no one was calling back. They ignored my calls every time. I spoke to Miranda who could have cared LESS! I did MY job, I made the appointment and showed up on time and paid my bill. This office has NO CARE to do THEIR job-to return a phone call and fill out the paperwork! I am so disheartened and frustrated! If there was ONE light at the end of the tunnel, I was able to get a hold of a different office in Deep River. There is a LOVELY lady named Donna who actually answered the phone (shocker) and called CVS and called me back to follow up. The problem still is not solved, but having someone in the office that gets back to me is a huge win. I am hoping to get this problem solved. :(

The staff at the front desk are great; however, the doctor left something to be desired and I won't…read morebe returning. I found him to be dismissive of my concern and shockingly even tugged at my eye without warning. When I flinched and told him it hurt, he told me to "get back here" and said it didn't hurt (as if he would know). I found this to be rude and completely uncalled for. He also referred to the great staff at the front desk as "girls" which is not appropriate. Yuck, Yuck!

After purchasing an $1100 pair of glasses and told they were ready for puck up, he had no time for me. I waited 15 minutes, asked if he could make a minor adjustment for size and he said no, he was too busy, I should take a seat and wait. It was not so much WHAT he said, but the way in which he quickly dispatched me which O found offensive. I rarely, if ever, write reviews like this, BTW. Very disappointing. Will take my purchases somewhere else, if still seeing Dr Elgart.

All members of the office staff and the optometrists are equally friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The office is spotlessly clean and they are on time for appointments.

Nice staff, but Don't be fooled by any Optometrist playing on your emotions via some feel-good…read moretactic. More importantly, focus to ensure that the end result of service rendered equates to quality of lenses in frames received in exchange for your money. Don't be fooled by the old illusion of the 3-D bird trick that's been around at least since the early 1990s, but haven't seen it in a while until recently. I recall this being revealed as a gimmick many years ago. Interesting to see it resurface again. What clients get as the end product should match that experience. As customers/clients, we know when we've ever had a pair of good quality lenses and feel that the Optometrist got it right. By the same token, we know upon trying on new glasses whether or not it is either too strong or just a weak, problematic pair of glasses akin to looking out of a window pane leaving the client better off wearing their older pair of better quality for vision care. Now I know times are hard in the world of Optometry business, but this is messed up. I was so happy to stop by & pick up my glasses, but was disappointed upon realizing that they were weak and unhelpful. The Optical Assistant growing a bit frustrated insisted on telling me to just keep the new glasses and wear them for more than a week in order "to get use to them" with her ongoing reasoning to my responses. For the sake of moving on with the time being, I rode out the time and tried wearing them only to find myself struggling & squinting to read the Road Signs from a reasonable distance until too late in approaching to make a turn or lane decision. To be safe, I have had to wear a much older pair of glasses. They are hard & painful on my nose bridge & ears, but at least they are much better on the vision. With the exception of the reading glasses (bifocal area), the new ones are akin to looking through a window pane wasting my time and insurance money. There was no getting used to a new pair of glasses after the first day. Either they work or they do not! Don't make the mistake of given into that which is designed to send your right on out the door with them. Unfortunately, the office remain closed due to the Coronavirus crisis leaving my son and I hanging. Unfortunately, he trusted them and purchased three pairs with two of them being quite expensive or going into the Hundreds of Dollars in total. We were told that the Obamacare insurance used a different lab to cut cost. He was assured that the pay-out-pocket would result in a different lab with better results. What's the point of buying COSTLY frames with lenses that are not a good fit for better vision? Since we were told that our vision hasn't changed much, we could have simply taken our previous prescription to a direct online frame & lense company with high reviews & reputable or to a Costco, BJs, JCPenny, etc. Shouldn't the goal of private offices be to differentiate oneself to stand ahead of the competition? IMO It is one thing to practice good customer service, it is another skill to deliver quality of care with satisfaction for clients/customers for equal exchange of goods and services in terms of money/insurance rendered for payment for prescription glasses.

Dan and his associates are very well experienced, professional, skilled and experienced and I went there in the middle of May 2020 to get some more (I have purchased 5 pairs of sunglasses from 3 different ((for me and my friends)) manufacturers in the past 5+ years) high quality sunglasses that would help me see better during dusk and dawn driving and Dan spent quite a bit of time with me to make sure that I got the right lens color, frame and lens material (coated glass vs. plastic) and had them all ready for me the next week in my frame of choice and WOW!, did they do the job, I can see so well now at these times of the day when light and visibility are normally nominal! Conclusion: you can not go wrong with going to Essex Vision Center in Spencer's Square in Centerbrook, because their service, prices and product quality are un-parralelled / second to none!

The plus side: The office is very friendly especially the woman at the front desk. They had a great selection of frames including Coach, Versace, Calvin Klein, Ed Hardy and a few other designers. Prices were a lot better than your Lens Crafters or Pearle Vision stores. My appointment was at 3 and they took me at 3:02 so there wasn't a huge wait. Dr. Conrod was extremely personable and polite and explained my many options for eye care. The negative: The tech or whomever that I first saw was really rude and possessed the listening skills of a toddler. If I have to explain to you multiple times in a five minute conversation that I mainly wear glasses and rarely wear contacts and I want to wear contacts daily and use my glasses as a back up, you really are not listening to me at all. It's frustrating to be a new patient with a new provider and have the staff treat you like you're stupid and you wouldn't possibly understand your own eye care or eye health. In a similar vein, the woman at the front desk gave me the fifth degree over my insurance plan, corrected what I said and then ended up being wrong. However she, unlike the tech or whatever, apologized and corrected her mistake. Honestly? LISTEN TO YOUR PATIENTS! If it wasn't for the doctor himself, I would have gone elsewhere. I'm hoping that when I go back to for my contact lens follow up, I have a better experience.
