After some convincing they begrudgingly agreed. They did my two kids, but when they got to me, I noticed they held the PD machine at a strange angle and the measurement came back much different than my previous PD. I asked if they were sure they did it right and they responded with a very curt 'I know how to do my job' I got a more recent eye exam at a different place and they confirmed my PD measurement never changed and that the people at Casco Bay had botched the measurement purposely because I wasn't buying their glasses.

My great experience started with an enthusiastic greeting by Debbie as soon as I walked in the door. Courtney & Dr. Amy Cyr gave me a super thorough eye exam. Then, Gina Namin pleasantly & patiently dealt with me while I tried on 25 different pairs for frames. She made sure they were just the right one & fit perfectly. Fast forward 6 months and I went back for a pair of prescription sunglasses. I needed a new style. Nick Howe was a huge help and pickled out a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses I would have never tried on myself. He was so good - my wife even loved the ones he picked out!. I just picked them up and Gina again made sure they fit perfectly. The best customer service I've received in a very long time.

Unfortunately, I have had a pretty frustrating experience with this office. I went in originally…read morefor a long over due exam. It was an odd experience but I did not think much of it. Dr. Turrisi brought her small dog into my appointment without my permission. The dog had just come from the vet's office for some sort of procedure and was heavily medicated. Dr. Turrisi was very focused on the dog (as a pet owner I would have been too, which is also why I noted the unprofessionalism as odd but let it go). We got through the exam, and I asked about contact lenses. She advised me to where my glasses for a bit and then call back if I am still interested in contact lenses. She did not advise on a timeline and in retrospect I should have asked. I moved on and ordered my new glasses. After a few months, I decided I was still interested in contact lenses, so I called to set up the necessary appointment. I was told that I did not call back within 3 months so I would need another exam out of pocket. It was a few days over that allotted time. (To be clear this is their policy, which I understand as prescriptions do change but most insurance companies only pay for one exam a year). I am not upset about the policy, I am upset about the communication and lack of professionalism that followed. I was told she would check but it should be fine and I will receive a text message confirming my appointment. She quoted me for the fitting and the prescription at $155 with some help for my insurance. 10 days later I receive a text message letting me know I am scheduled for the exam and the other necessary items and that I will have to pay an additional $185 for an exam. I again called and was told, oh no the exam is not necessary since its is only a few days past that 3 months in our policy. I was also told that the person sending the text message works from home and she just doesn't see what we see here in the office. That was good enough for me. Today was supposed to be my appointment. I received a text at 9:30 saying my appointment was a half hour later than my original appointment. I was confused , so I yet again called and was told, my exam is first and then that is my second appointment for the fitting. I went back and forth with the receptionist who I know was just doing her job but was not helpful. When I stated that it just seemed like that were trying to get more money from me, she got upset with me and asked me to stop talking to her like that. I then spoke to the office manager who checked with the doctor who said she would see me but still would charge an additional $55 for a refraction which was necessary for the prescription. I am not an eye doctor and I am sure it would be necessary but it wasn't about the additional $55 or even the $185. The whole experience was pretty negative. I am fortunate enough to have health insurance and really the contact lenses are just a want and not a need. There really seems to be break down in communication in their office and the need to make money and their own personal lives seems to be more important than the care of their patients.

He gave me a more accurate assessment than the fancy doctors I have been seeing in California and educated me about my candidacy for laser in a way no one has before.

This place infuriates me…read more The last two/three times I've gone to them, had my contact exam, and ordered contacts, I've been very low on contacts and let them know this. I also haven't had a car. So, I pay an additional $9 on top of the crazy contact cost to have them shipped to me. Every single time they've told me to expect them to get to me in 4-5 business days. And every single time, it's two weeks later, I'm out of contacts, and I don't have them yet. The first time I called asking, they said whoops, they've been sitting here for a week and a half. They finally shipped them and I got them a couple days later. This time, it's been 15 days. I called at day 13 asking what was up. They put me on hold, then straight up lied to me and said they were out for delivery and would be there in a few hours. Two days later and they're nowhere to be found. No updates. I'm paying $9 for shipping and the contacts sit there for weeks until you literally call them and ask what's up. Now I'm out of contacts, and very frustrated. I know this is basic, but what the f***? These are my eyes! And these contacts cost an arm and a leg!!!! Do better plz. Sorry

At a recent exam with my PCP, I was asked when my last eye exam was. After thinking about it, I…read morerealized it was nearly 8 years ago. Despite feeling like I had no issues with my vision, I realized that given I pay for this insurance coverage (and have for the past nearly 6 years) I might as well go to make sure there are no concerns. I looked at my insurance and found Maine Family Eye Care as an in-network provider and in close proximity to my residence. I requested an appointment online and received a phone call a couple business days later to set up an appointment. Luckily, I was able to get an appointment the following day which was extremely convenient. The location itself is super cute and modern. It has a nice bright, open space which is very welcoming. As I walked into the office, I was kindly greeted by the receptionist who happily checked me in and walked me through the paperwork that I had to complete. After completing my paperwork, I was almost instantly called into the back. The woman who took me back assisted in performing a variety of tests which were to be provided to the doctor. The woman was extremely kind and made feel very comfortable and educated about the tests she was performing. After completing several tests, she brought me back to the waiting room to wait for the doctor as they were running behind on this specific day. I was in the waiting room for about another 15 minutes before being brought back to see the doctor. Dr. Elkinson was awesome. He was extremely friendly like the rest of his staff and provided me with a lot of education and tips to help ensure continued good vision in my future. Through my evaluation with the doctor I found out that I had exceptional (20/15) vision. After my evaluation, I had my eyes dilated and was sent back to the waiting room while the solution "did its thing". Unfortunately, my left eye was supper stubborn and required several drops which lengthened my waiting and stay. However, once it finally dilated, I saw Dr. Elkinson one last time and then was sent on my way. Given my exceptional vision, I was told that I probably don't have to come back for another 2-3 years! However, if I ever have any vision issues I will certainly be coming back to Mr. Elkinson as his staff and service was fantastic.

I ended up getting mine at the slightly larger Portland location in the old port- something to keep in mind that each location may have a few different options to check out if you don't see what you want at this one. When ordering glasses it took about what they estimated time wise. The glasses are good quality glass lenses and are a bit more expensive than other spots we have been to over the years. All in all I definitely recommend.
