I cannot speak for the ophthalmologist or optometrist. I never had the opportunity to meet them…read more The registration women were extremely kind and professional. However, the TECH or medical assistant (blonde lady) that attempted to obtain my intake/triage information, had the most sour attitude and nasty disposition that I have encountered in a long time. I have never in my life, walked out of a doctors appointment. After she started reprimanding me and about her third snarky comment, I had to stand up, tell her this would not be a good fit and walked out. I noticed the general patient population of the this office were quite elderly. I would be horrified if anybody spoke to my grandparents this way. I would literally prefer to go blind, then interact with that woman ever again in my life.

Overall (and according to friends) this seems to be a great practice with caring staff…read more Unfortunately, when I urgently needed an appointment, I was assigned to Dr. Mark Marotto and felt patronized to the point of disrespect. Additionally, he almost overcharged me for services that I'd specifically not wanted. The practice has friendly, professional staff at the desk, and the assistant who settled me in was wonderful. When Dr. Marotto entered, though, he began to put drops in my eyes without asking or explaining what he was doing. When I explained that I was concerned about my severe allergy to a certain chemical in a particular kind of drops, he scoffed at me. Once Dr. Marotto looked at my swollen eyelid and told me how to care for it, he then proceeded to conduct an entire eye exam (quoted billing charge: $250) on me __without my consent__. (I thought he was thoroughly checking my eyelid; the exam was not nearly as comprehensive or as careful as I've received elsewhere.) Fortunately, I'd already told the front desk that I was not there for an exam, and wouldn't pay for one -- but when I told Dr. Marotto that, he suggested that it was my fault because "you asked questions." (I did: about three.) I'm still a bit bewildered by why I was treated this way. I don't expect every physician to click with every patient, but I do believe that, regardless of their field, our health care providers should: 1. tell/ask us before they apply chemicals to our eyes (or anywhere) 2. honor patients' requests to avoid costly and unnecessary procedures 3. encourage questions, rather than blaming patients for wanting to understand what's wrong with them.

I was near Brunswick on vacation when I fell and broke my eyeglass frames, having…read moreuncharacteristically forgotten to bring a spare pair. Contemplating another week of vacation in sunglasses at all times of day, or surviving the evenings with the remaining portion of my frames perched on my nose and only one ear, I came to New England Optics (NEO) for help. Mervyn came up with an inexpensive frame that would hold my lenses securely until I get home, and which will make a perfectly fine backup pair after I get home! What's more, my experience was not just of the height of professionalism, but completely pleasurable throughout! I recommend NEO without hesitation.

Over the years we have been in dozens of eyeglass stores searching for one that had choices she liked and good customer support. NEO was beyond any of our previous experiences or expectations. I have never seen so many frames, styles, colors, shapes, etc. My wife was able to take frames to show her friends, and every time we came back there were new ones to look at. The owner of the store, Merv, was outstanding to work with. He assisted in choosing or commenting on frames when asked, but also allowed as much time as needed to browse and try frames on. He provided excellent advice on the lenses and spent time to ensure that the measurements and fit were right. This will definitely be our preferred eyeglass store in the future! BTW, the sign on the store just says NEO, so it is easy to miss.

I came in about a week ago for an eyeglass adjustment. My 16 year old daughter was driving me…read morearound that day and parked in front of the office. Went in, met the owner and assistant, they were very friendly and did my adjustment for free. On reaching my car, I slipped and fell on the ice. It was apparent to me my ankle was broken, so I sent my daughter in for help. She came back saying no one was willing to help, and the doctor had told her she parked in the wrong area. We then figured out how to slide me-bottom down on the ice, I was able to get next to my car. While attempting to hoist myself into the car without putting weight on my ankle, the doctor came out, took a picture, and again informed me we had parked in the wrong area. I was able to get myself in the van, my daughter drove me to the hospital, where it was confirmed my ankle was broken. I realize in this day and age everyone is afraid of being sued, and I'm definitely not going to pursue that, people fall on ice all the time in winter. However the appalling way this was handled was not acceptable. How unkind.
