And every kind of special equipment is right there on the premises, which I appreciated as I was on a medication that could affect vision and so required regular eye tests. Dr. Lynch is a genuinely nice man and I really liked being one of his patients. Unfortunately for me, I switched insurance plans to one of the very few that his office does not accept. If my situation changes, I would run, not walk, back to this practice.

Dr. Lynch was recommended to me over 20 years ago when I first started working in town. It seemed…read moreeveryone I'd meet was a patient of his! I had an Rx to fill glasses, but it was required that they re-examine me. He actually improved upon the Rx I had from my previous doctor! With each appointment I saw that he was just as thorough as my ophthalmologist and knew I was in the best capable hands. At one point my work offered eye insurance he didn't accept, and I made the mistake of going to Kennedy Perkins to get my new eyeglasses. I was very unhappy with the results. I will never stray again! Dr. Lynch is personable & genuine. You might have to book in advance, but in an emergency, he will make time for you. His staff is warm and always helpful. Naomi & Kyona are exceptional.

I was greeted by the friendliest receptionist named Paula, who promptly let the doctor know that I was in the office. Dr Ann Carone took meticilous care and immediately we had instant rapport to ask any question through the testing. After the tests and receiving my prescription, I was guided to the show room with hundreds of glasses and was daunted by the options. Then Lisa, the optician, narrowed the choices to my liking and even gave the confidence boosts I needed for my first pair. This will be eye glass "goto" place from now on. Thank you Shoreline and Dr. Carone !!!

Dr. Bacal was my daughter's eye doctor for years and even performed surgery on her. I trusted him…read morewith her care since she was little. The office has always been a chaotic mess -- rude staff, long waits, and zero organization -- but we stayed because of him. Then out of nowhere, we get a letter saying he's "retiring" and would no longer accept state insurance. It felt like a punch in the gut after years of loyalty. Imagine my shock when, nearly two years later, he's still there -- fully practicing -- just not taking state insurance anymore. I called recently and said I had private insurance, and suddenly he's more than happy to take new patients. That's not retirement. That's deception. He didn't just make a business decision -- he lied to families who trusted him. Turning his back on long-time patients to cherry-pick who's "worth it" is beyond low. It says everything about his character. The office is a disaster, and clearly, integrity isn't a priority there either.

I know I do (I pay for it each month) and so made some phone calls to ensure I was still covered. When I came back to the desk the secretary and I were talking just to clarify the issue. During our conversation I could hear Dr. Rubsam answering my questions, but from what I assume was his office? I couldn't see him ... he was in another room... I'm not sure if he knew I could hear him? Ultimately the secretary told me that Dr. Rubsam did not take my insurance - no problem! I understand our health care system doesn't always work the way we expect. I was willing to pay out of pocket the $175 for the appointment. When I asked if I could still be seen today I heard from Dr. Rubsam in his office again who was screaming "NO!! GOODBYE!!" - I wish I was exaggerating... I can't believe that a medical professional would treat someone like this - I was not rude or aggressive. I was just asking questions. Ultimately, I'm glad they do not take my insurance and was not seen by this individual who did not have the decency to even come out of his office to speak with him but instead scream GOODBYE from behind a wall. I have previously worked in doctor's office. I couldn't imagine a professional person acting like this. I would not recommend Dr. Rubsam as his "bed side manner" is deplorable.

Long story short, I found this place due to proximity but I wish I had gone elsewhere. The docs I've met there are fine, if a little rushed due to the overwhelming number of people crammed in the waiting room and being generally over an hour behind schedule. I'm writing this review because my emergency contact was called due to a minor billing issue. Yes, they called my emergency contact over a bill that was one month overdue. Yes, I screwed up. Part of the blame is mine. I admit that. I forgot to pay my bill and then was traveling on business for a month straight. Sue me. Not once did they leave me a voicemail or email me (it is 2019, right?), or otherwise try get in touch with me as far as I can tell. No, instead they decided to call my emergency contact and ask them to get in touch with me about the bill. Completely inappropriate and unprofessional. So just realize that when you're filling out the intake form, they will use any and all information to find you (except, you know, your own phone number or email).
