Since my husband has had reasonably good experiences here, I made an appointment. I arrived early and they gave me a tablet to sign waivers. The first one was an authorization to keep a card on file so they can charge any balances automatically up to $1500. I told the receptionist that I would not be doing this since I have been a victim of identity theft. The tablet will not let you decline without logging out so she spoke to a supervisor and they said they would not see me without the authorization to keep a card on file, so I left. When I asked her why my husband didn't need to authorize automatic charges to a card when he had an appointment six days ago, I was told the policy went into effect two days ago. I called two other local eye doctor offices and neither of them keep patient's cards on file so I made an appointment with one of them instead. read more

I drove 50 miles each way to supposedly see an Opthomoligest, (100 miles round trip) for an emergent white out and lack of vision in my right eye which is not enabling me to drive. Four (4) hours and $20.00 in Gasoline wasted they wanted to waste even more of my time for one of their Optometrists to examine my eyes and tell me how bad they are, ....... which I already know. Can you say Gratuitous? What a complete wast of my time and their time, as well. I told them that I was not going to make another appointment for a month or for several months out. Been there, done that, ....... Too many times. Now, I either go blind, crack up me and my 2023 new Ford truck when I'm driving and a bucket of white paint is suddenly thrown across my windshield and I am "whited out" which no one seems to care about me dying because I have had a bunch of inept, incompetent Physicians where ever and when ever I go to any of them. Or, I can spend the remainder of my natural life searching throughout the country for a competent, real Opthomologist so that I am able to have this much needed surgery on my right eye. Good luck. Because you are going to need it. William Parks (860) 639-6699 bparks1578@aol.com read more

I had a Lasik procedure done here on memorial weekend a few days ago. Dr Shriver was very helpful with several meetings prior to the surgery to check my vision & eligibility. Surgery was successful, quick, and then the recovery was short as well. A few hours of pain after the surgery which was expected & they provide a lot of information on the post op care. I just came in for my follow up 5 days later and Dr Shriver said my flaps have healed great & I am seeing better than expected. Since it was Memorial Day weekend, my follow up appointment was a bit later than they usually are supposed to be, but Dr Shriver was very attentive and called/texted me during the long weekend to check on me. He has amazing patient care & I look forward to my 3 month follow up! read more

I've been going to Middlesex Eye Physicians for over 20 years, so I guess you know I am satisfied! Lately I have been seeing Dr. Yap and I am impressed by how thorough he is and how he takes the time to explain what's going on. I'm also always impressed by the refraction team members, who are all very friendly and yet efficient. There are plenty of staff at the front desk so you never have to wait long to be helped. read more

My husband had an appointment at Middlesex Eye Physicians in October. He received all the usual reminders regarding the appointment. Nowhere in any of these reminders was it specified that the only form of payment allowed would be a credit card, which was required to remain on file. When he arrived he was told they would not take the check he had previously written out in the amount of his copay. My husband was informed, after his arrival at the office, that if he did not put a credit card on record with the office he would not be allowed to see the doctor. My husband does not carry a credit card at all times. His check was refused and his appt canceled. He was so upset no consideration or courtesy had been given for his time and efforts to make, keep and arrive at the appropriate time. It is very bad form to not notify a patient of payment requirements ahead of time. In this day and age, to so restrict payment options is an abomination. We will be looking elsewhere for ongoing ophthalmic needs. read more

This is my 2nd review of this practice I had a wonderful experience with doctor Yap today. Hes clearly very knowledgeable. He is also patient and kind and made sure all of my questions were answered and I understood everything we went over. He took all the time we need during my appointment and even said he would call my PCP to discuss my underlying health issue to keep her in the loop. Further, one of the staff, Stacey, walked me right next door to the vascular center for an immediate procedure rather than getting on the phone with the office. This sped up my progress in getting answers to what is quickly becoming my journey to recovery of an autoimmune disease. I walked away feeling much more confident not only about the practice but about my prognosis. Thank God for these angels. read more

I needed an assessment immediately for a serious eye problem. I drive a significant distance to see Dr. Yap. He is an excellent, intelligent, and compassionate professional. Since Dr. Yap wasn't available, I was seen by Dr. Shriver. I have never met ANY doctor who was so condescending and nasty. He actually refused to send me to the specialist I needed. I specifically asked the front desk to note I would never see him again under any circumstances. It is obvious why he was the only doctor in the practice available on short notice. read more

I first came to Middlesex Eye Physicians with an eye emergency in 2012. I was seen by Dr. Raji who immediately made an appointment with a retinal specialist so I could be seen the same day. Since then she has treated me successfully for cataracts -- including cataract surgery-- and elevated intraocular pressure. She is approachable, answers all my questions, and is also extremely personable. read more

I had be seeing the same eye Dr. in East Lyme for years and he'd never listen to me about my inability to see through my floaters. I decided to research an alternative and found Dr. Raji. She recognized my issues immediately and prescribed the right course of treatment and referred me to a retina specialist who confirmed her diagnosis. They performed bilateral Pars Plano Vitrectomy which was life changing. I was able to see clearly for the first time in 5 years. I need not complain or beg for help any longer. You can trust your vision to Dr. Raji. read more

I appreciate the very good service from Dr P Shriver and the refraction team. Very satisfied also with the the optician help getting new rx lenses. read more

About a year ago we relocated to Connecticut. I wear glasses and have become accustomed to my silhouettes. Unfortunately, they are prone to metal fatigue and will suddenly snap, making them unusable. This has happened twice in 2013, so I found this establishment which was able to repair them. Since I needed a new prescription, I decided to make an appointment here. (It is only located a few hundred meters from my work.) Also, the optometrist I was scheduled with was recommended by two coworkers. We just got new health insurance though the ACA, though with a high deductible. Unfortunately I was informed that the clinic did not take any plans from the CT exchange. Oh, well! I'd do private pay as I have done many a times. I compared the exam with others I have had at optometrist offices. For the last 10 years or so, I went to a doc in Alameda, CA. There, I had to go through several machine exams, one of which was perimetry, a visual field test which also tests for glaucoma. The optometrist would then test my distance and near vision to determine the best corrective lenses. Now here, I went directly into the exam room. The optometrist was VERY nice. My chief complaint was with reading. He did an eye pressure exam as well as a thorough fundoscopic exam. He was even concerned about some narrow drainage channels despite my never ever having had problems with dilation. He checked my distant vision but not my near vision. Instead he decided to just crank up my reading lenses a notch. Essentially I was quite content with the exam although it was not as comprehensive as I was used to. But then came the surprise. In the past I had paid between $80 and $120 for an exam. After just looking up average fees, I found some $150 ones. I was charged $345! I have not yet received my new glasses. They will cost $900+. But that I expected. I hope the reading part is correct. My biggest problem is the cost as related to the service. When you have to pay more than twice as much for the same (or even fewer) services, the overall rating drops. Perhaps when one has a complicated ophthalmologic disorder, it is worth it. But for a routine vision exam the fee was a little over the top. read more

Dr. Mascarenhas is an excellent, caring doctor. Can't say enough good about her!!!

New patient here and so far, I've been impressed with both the eye care and the opticians. I was treated for a 'clogged tear duct' with topical antibiotics, and practical tips to treat and prevent further instances. I subsequently wanted new glasses, with an existing prescription from another optician. They have the latest styles (the larger frame which works best with my face shape), and very good opticians. The previous place that I went to fitted my glasses by bending it inward, which created a bit of pain after several hours of wearing their glasses. Here, they fitted my new (and stylish) frames by curving it around my ears. The optician that worked with me was very caring, and even cleaned my old glasses, and gave a free bottle of eyeglasses cleaner. All in all, I am sold on this place and will get my next eye exam and future pairs of glasses here. read more

Middlesex Eye Physicians are terrific. Highly competent, the doctors all have special attributes. Whatever your issues, the right doctor will handle your problem. I have seen all of the. doctors at different times and cannot say how comfortable I feel that I am getting the best care. I believe that there is no better group to care for your eyes. read more

Dr Yap was great. He has cared for me, as well as my child and he interacted with her perfectly. The office was running behind, it was a long wait and long appointment. The assistant was patient with my child. Age appropriate , competent care for my child. As well as continued excellent adult care for myself. read more

Life changing. Like many, I was nervous and anxious about eye surgery. Entire experience from initial consult to cataract surgery was professional and assuring. Dr. Raji took the time to explain everything in a way that made me feel so comfortable. After surgery in just one eye, I saw things and colors that I don't recall ever seeing. Have not worn my glasses in several weeks. Unfortunately, due to Covid 19, my other eye surgery has to wait. Cannot imagine what it will be like to have 2 good eyes. Dr. Raji and staff are the best!! I am so thankful to everyone at Middlesex Eye. read more

I am 47 and had been comfortable with my glasses my whole life; but the annoyances of wearing glasses while playing with my very energetic seven-year-old son brought me to ask Dr. Shriver about the Lasik procedure in which he specializes. Dr. Shriver and his team recently performed Lasik on both of my formerly very, very myopic eyes. Literally hours after the completion of the surgery, my vision was better than 20/20 without glasses. I am now looking forward to a very physically active and sporting life with my son and my friends. I am also an avid birder and can't wait to get out into the field without any glasses to remove every time I bring the binoculars up to my eyes. The procedure was smooth and easy from start to finish, surprisingly short. And the recovery was equally fast and easy. My expectations for the procedure and results were far exceeded by the reality. Dr. Shriver and his team made this a wonderful experience for me, from start to finish, and I would urge anyone feeling burdened or encumbered by glasses and/or contacts to consider consulting with him about Lasik. For me, it was a real game changer, opening up a broader prospect for remaining active in my middle-age years and beyond. read more

Overall good experience , staff is always nice and accommodating. Have been a patient there for many years

More stars for Dr Raji. I have only had glasses a few years and my first pair was a horror story - i took my prescription to an eyeglass place that had a frame i liked and what i got back was glasses with lenses that were put in upside down. talk about headaches and stange visions. Now I always come to Dr Raji and get my glasses from their eyeglass store in the lobby. I trust these people with my eyes! read more

I 've been patient of Dr. Raji for several years and I am totally comfortable and more than satisfied with the treatment I've received from the entire staff. Everyone is courteous and appointments are always on time. Thanks. read more

Caring staff. I received a thorough exam. All my questions were answered and I received clear instructions on how to continue to care for my eyes. read more

Bad practices here. They communicated that services were covered by my insurance, then turned around and denied the claim. Add to that Dr Shriver being "less than user friendly" and I will definitely be seeking eye care elsewhere. Beware! I should have had my original quote for services in writing. Proceed at your own risk. read more

I had my first treatment with Dr. Raji and I'll definitely be back for more. The entire office staff was professional and welcoming. I did notice on my way out that they also have a great selection of glasses and sunglasses. I highly recommend this place and will be returning! read more

Keith L. I had always wanted to have lasik surgery but was always skeptical. After consulting with Dr. Shriver and going though the screening, I felt completely confident that this was what I wanted to do. I can tell you that this was the best thing that I ever did. That same day I was able to read the fine print on the shampoo bottle. Thumbs up to Dr. Shriver and his team! read more

I've been wearing contacts and glasses for as long as I can remember and Dr. Shriver's LASIK surgery changed my life. I would recommend anyone considering LASIK to talk to him. The staff in the building is also very friendly and welcoming. read more

I had my first eye exam at age 60 with Middlesex Eye Physicians' Doctor Shriver. I was apprehensive about having my eyes examined, but he made me feel at ease and answered all my questions with a friendly, casual manner. I would recommend Dr. Shriver. read more

This review is regarding Dr. Raji Mulukutla. I'm not going to drag this on and make it long. Also, I'm sure there will be a response from her office after this review. The response will be all lies. But I know what I know, and this is the truth. I have never had a problem with any other doctor regarding fillers. I've had 2 previous doctors who had done fillers on me and had ZERO problem. Also I am not a person to complain, but when I see wrong doing, I must speak up. With that being said, the last time I had fillers with Dr. Raji she had told me I had some leftover. It had already cost me almost $900. I wrote it in my iPhone notes so I knew for sure the cost, date and price. I called back to get the remainder of it, and her office assistant told me there was nothing left, after driving over an hour to the office under the impression I was getting the remaider of my filler. THIS WAS A COMPLETE LIE. I KNOW I HAD FILLER LEFT OVER. DO NOT TRUST THIS DOCTOR, I BEG OF YOU. SHE WILL ROB YOU. They make you believe you have nothing left over so you go ahead and buy another $900 worth of fillers. And most people will not question a doctor, or feel too embarrassed to, I myself would have never questioned either. But I had taken notes, so I DO KNOW.. Make sure to take notes of EVERYTHING. Doctors are people too, and they can scam just like any other person. And that is the truth. This office will try to say that they don't hold a tube for more than a certain time, or try to deny I had any filler left. It's a lie, I looked at my notes , so I know that I did. read more
