I have been seeing Dr. Kolnik for numerous years. He has never been anything but friendly,…read moreprofessional, knowlegeable, and prompt. I highly recommend him to friends and family. His front desk staff (Bea) is also very accommodating, knowledgeable and professional when it comes to the administrative aspects like billing, appointments, ordering contacts, etc. Check Dr. Kolnick out on zocdoc.com which has verified reviews from patients who visited him and he has a solid well-deserved 5 stars. Another benefit of this office is the fashionable glasses they sell. The eyeglass professionals spend the time and effort to help you select the best glasses that are right for you. For a long time I hated the way I look in glasses but they're always able to help me find a pair that I love to wear and feel good in. Lastly, there is abundant parking out front.

I assume if you're reading this sentence that 1) you've been to an optometrist before and 2) your…read moreeyesight is sufficient to read this sentence. If you've never been to an optometrist, this review is for an eye doctor. If your eyesight sucks or you moved to a new area and need a checkup (as I did and needed), then other reviews here should testify to the longevity of this doctor and his positive impact on his patients. Me, included. Come back to this review after you see him and let me know if you can read this sentence clearer. I think you will.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Kush Patel is incompetent optician. I went to this place because I was…read moretraveling soon and couldn't get in into my regular optician. He totally SCREWED UP my eye exam (how hard is that??) and missed diagnosed my astigmatism by TWO POINTS! And they couldn't get one of their machines to work. Plus he said such a big change was very unusual and it might be corneal disease and sent me MERSI in Waltham for another exam and more $$$. All they wanted to do there was talk about surgery for my cataracts (which is not needed) Maybe Patel gets a kickback? So when I got my glasses, my vision was totally distorted and I was dizzy. So I finally went to a real optician at Newton Wellesley Eye Associates, they confirmed I actually had very little change in my RX and fortunately, the great folks at Focal Point in Newton changed to the correct RX without any charge. Pearle Vision was a DISASTER.

He is a bit old-school and does several things the same way he did years ago, including not accepting VSP. However, I soon realized VSP has nothing on this guy's insanely low prices.

A curious place. Worth a visit, if only to experience what it's like to travel in a time machine…read moreback to what I imagine the 1950's must have been like. Dr. Harvey Leavitt is an older gentleman who seems to be the only one running the show here. All appointment making and information-taking is done slowly by pencil, and the place has the feel of a barbershop meets water-war era LA private eye office. After waiting five minutes while the doctor described a pair of glasses over the phone to a customer, there was an oddly direct line of questioning that honed in on where exactly I wanted to purchase my contact lenses. Online is where I told him I wanted to purchase them. So he said he wouldn't give me an eye exam. Because of "certain things consumers don't know" and "attorney" and grumble grumble. That was that, and he tore up the sheet that he been writing my information down on. So I left. It was an oddly unceremonious end to the exam before I could actually even make it into the old-timey-looking back exam room. Dr. Leavitt didn't seem to mind losing my low-margin business, and I was quite happy to get out of there and not have to follow through with what most certainly would have been an interesting eye exam. The guy is clearly marching to the beat of his own dusty drum, and the place seems weirdly outdated for modern life and invites equal parts bemusement and discomfort. And this is coming from someone who grew up in a backwater rural area full of these kinds of places. TL:DR If you're hoping to get a contact lens prescription so you can order them online, save yourself some time and go elsewhere. In fact, just go elsewhere in general. I would not be surprised to hear about this guy in the news at some point.

Unfortunately I did not read the reviews beforehand and it was too late afterwards when I realized that Dr. Cheng and the assistant had completely cheated me!

In addition, the vision prescription for the frames were way too strong and I still can't wear them without getting a headache. I will never come back here and be warned to future patients.

I had a bad experience here last year. First, I agree that Dr. Idrizovic gave me a sales pictch. I…read moreorginally saw another Dr, who was fine, but I was told I had to return to see Dr. I because she was a dry eye specialist. Not only was I kept waiting over an hour for this appointment, but my insurance didn't cover it so I had to pay for it. Dr. I recommended that I have a series of laser treatments at $250 each. AND she told me a horror story about how I could go blind if I didn't do it. Then, when my glasses came in the alignment or something was way off. I had it checked and redone redone twice. The lenses alone cost $650 because they were progressives with prism. (They were never right but I gave up.) When I told them I couldn't see well enough to drive wearing the glasses, they didn't believe me and said I just had to get used to progressives even though I explained that I had had progressives before. So, I had to return three times and wait a long time even though I had appointments. At the time, I wrote a negative review. The owner contacted me and asked me to take it down and he'd give me a free pair of prescription sunglasses lens. (I provided the frames.) I'm submitting this again because it's a year later and I went to another eye doctor. Now, after a good experience at Boston Vision, I know I was right to complain. Sure, prescriptions change, but I found out the contacts didn't even correct my astigmatism, which is the main reason I wear them, and the glasses were way off. Not only that, but no one tried to sell me any lasers or drops or eye masks. When it came to tests, they carefully explained my choices because some were included under my insurance and others weren't.

They sent the progressive lenses out, and did not complete the order that I had purchased: [no border frame color]. In addition, they assured me that the Silhouette lenses would be identical to the ones I purchased elsewhere, but the new lenses did not have the same coatings. Finally, when I picked the new glasses up, the woman who did the adjustment bent the frames unevenly. She obviously did not know what she was doing. I needed to go to a different optometry shop to get them fixed. I will never buy glasses from this shop again.
