"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.

The front desk person was super rude and lazy. First, we were late, and she gave us a tremendous…read moreattitude. Then she refused to take our insurance card and call the insurance company to see if they accept the insurance. She charged my Cc for a visit. After repeatedly saying that my visit was covered, I had to call the insurance company myself. She won't even do her job because it was 4:27 pm and they close at 5 pm. That was her excuse. It was covered. She was insulting and unprofessional. I talked with the office manager, who was understanding and complained about her. Anyways after the visit, we went outside, and she started screaming. I ignore her as I was with my kids. Then she got in her car and showed her middle finger, and said fuck you to us while driving her car around us. We all were shocked by this rude and classless behavior. I am surprised that the eye care clinic tolerates this kind of behavior. Even though the doc visit was fine but this tainted our experience.
