I went to this practice but actually saw Dr. Lehouillier (not listed in YELP). He was outstanding. Professional, accommodating of my schedule, more than fair in pricing and just a nice person. His staff is amazing. I am in the healthcare industry myself and his staff has inspired me to try to make all my patients feel as important and welcome as his made me. AND after following me for several weeks my eye problems are behind me! So impressed. I would recommend this practice to anyone and everyone.

Just got back from picking up my glasses. It was nothing like the eye appointment I had two weeks…read moreago. I was snapped at for not signing in (I didn't know). I was told to go sit in a room with another person and we read a sign that said that warranty work would cost a minimum of $25. I asked about it and was told by one of the employees that she couldn't explain it, and she didn't agree with it. A man came into the room and we asked him. He couldn't explain it either. I asked how they could charge for something they couldn't explain. I said it sounded like a "PFP" pure freakin' profit. I guess I need to find another eyeglass place, I mean, if they can't explain the charges to you, why buy from them?

I've been a patient for a long time. I originally was going to the Laconia location and then…read moreswitched to the Somersworth location when I moved to Maine a year and a half ago. Dr. Guarino is an awesome, nice doctor who is the only reason I'm not giving one star! I've had no issues coming here until recently in Somersworth. The office staff is rude and dismissive. I've been a patient with no issues all these years, but because I had an issue getting to my appointment once (paid the $75 fee for no 24 hour notice) and then unfortunately got hit with a migraine so bad it would have affected my eye exam on the day I was to go to my rescheduled date, they wanted to charge me $75 again for no notice. I argued that it wasn't something I could get a 24 hour notice for, that it hit me hard and was making it hard to use my eyes. The response I got was as if I was this ongoing problem patient that has always caused them nothing but strife with wasting the doctor's appointment times. That "it's extremely busy here and I don't have time to argue with you. I'll look in your file and see if I can cancel the fee but I'll have to put a note in your file to have you pay up front before your next rescheduled visit because you've canceled twice with not enough notice." Seriously?! Like I said to her, I've been a patient with no problems with appointments for years and the moment I'm not perfect I get a note in my file to pay upfront?? Horrible way to treat a loyal, long term patient who never had issues with appointments beforehand. I'm already looking for a new doctor because that's BS treatment. Completely unprofessional in the way they speak and treat patients. Dr. Guarino, reviews on google are also in agreement that it's clear I'm not alone that your office staff are driving away patients which is sad considering you're such a great doctor. Office staff play a very important role for doctor visits, they are the ones who deal with patients the most, they reflect on a bussiness. You can be the best doctor ever but it doesn't make up for being treated like dirt by your staff. My loyalty only stands when respect and consideration are involved by all people who are supposed to be caring for me when you aren't around and your office doesn't care. Good luck!

My experience was identical to the other 1 star review. Dr. Guarino is fantastic. Clearly cares…read moreabout his patients, explains everything fully and is very thorough. Office manager Jennifer is rude and condescending, talks down to you like a child and talks over you on the phone. For the sole reason of having to deal with her my family will not return. It's unfortunate for Dr. Guarino that she is chasing patients away from his otherwise excellent practice. The other office person (Carrie) was a pleasure to deal with but I will not give my business to anyone that treats me or my family this way. If Jennifer leaves the practice I will update my review to 5 stars and my family will be loyal customers/patients again.

I recently moved to Biddeford and needed a new eye doctor for an annual exam.

Everyone was super friendly and the exams were fast, painless and the technology seemed very cutting edge.

If you're looking for a new optometrist, give this business a shot, I had an excellent experience.

It doesn't matter what type of insurance anyone has - DO YOUR JOB! And above all, treat people the way you want to be treated. I would not recommend anyone going to this eye doctor.

Family Eye Care is a great place for your optometry needs. Since the Connell's retirement, Juliann…read moreKandra has taken over the practice, and she is such a gem. She is incredibly nice and makes you feel comfortable about getting your eyes checked. My four stars are solely directed towards her and her work. If I were to rate my overall experience, I would probably give it three stars. The woman who takes you for pretest before your examination, I forget her name, is slightly rude. For instance, when doing the pressure test, I have a really hard time keeping my eyes open to get an accurate reading. When I went today, she had to retake the test numerous times and I could hear her heavy breathing and annoyance each time, which didn't help an already stressful situation. When she asked me questions, it felt rushed and like her mind was elsewhere. It just made for a stressful experience. Lastly, when ordering contacts or trying to schedule an appointment, it can be a challenge to reach them, and even after leaving a voicemail, sometimes you don't get a call back. Overall, the service of Juliann trumps the lack of customer service from the other workers, which is why I rate it four stars. If they could fix some of the those bumps, Family Eye Care could be really, really great in all aspects.

Having been to…read moreone eye doctor for about 7 years, I was hesitant to go somewhere new, but I am SO glad I did. I ended up coming across Beacon Eye Care after my dad came here and sang their praises. I scheduled an appointment and from there, it was magic. When I walked into Beacon Eye Care (which literally looks like a house), the woman at the front desk was incredibly nice and the place was pretty empty, which is also something I could appreciate. I was then welcomed by Dr. Lauren Boutet, who was such a gem of an eye doctor. I talked to her about some eye irritation I had been having and how my other eye doctor kind of dismissed it as dry eyes. Lauren took the time to figure out exactly what was going on and it turns out, I have an intolerance to some contact solutions! Ever since she diagnosed this issue, my eyes haven't been irritated and they are feeling great. She also went through my eye exam and she was incredibly patient and really put me at ease. I honestly HIGHLY recommend Beacon Eye Care and definitely will be a faithful patient of theirs.
