This places is EXCELLENT. Very warm, caring & patient, and they truly offer state of the art, exceptional care. I have unusual eyes, and have had these kinds of exams administered over 20 years in 4 different states. Rochester Eye Center is the best I've experienced .... the types of exams I have to have are tedious and uncomfortable to have done every year, and with the care I receive at Rochester Eye Center, I have grown FAR more comfortable through the years. I'm hoping all of my review really gets across how well they take care of their patients. It's rare for me to offer five stars, so when I do, it means I really wouldn't change a *thing.* And that's how I feel about Rochester Eye Center and Dr. Heiligman.

Dr. Lindahl answered all of my questions. He was kind and thorough. I had cataract surgery on February 26, 2026 and March 13, 2025, am seeing like I haven't in years and need no glasses. He is an excellent surgeon! The women who work with him are wonderful! I got to meet Maggie, Beth, Laura, Denise, Angie, Kim, as well as Deb and Monique at the front desk. Thanks to you all for your kindness and care! Most businesses these days are more concerned about the bottom line than the people that come to them for help. Not here! They all genuinely care about improving people's lives through helping them see the best they can. I am humbled by what you did for me and so grateful!

Twice I have received an appointment confirmation email from their scheduling program Klara, only to arrive at the office to be told that my appointment was canceled because the doctor was doing surgeries that day.

The second time was over a year later, the practice manage was at a different office that day, and I declined to reschedule.

Other local eye doctors I've been to are not this attentive. I am giving 4 out of 5 only because they won't give you your pupillary distance measurement unless you purchase glasses from their optical shop. In order to buy glasses online, you need that measurement, so Robbins doesn't give you that measurement when they give you your glasses prescription. This prevents their patients from being able to buy glasses elsewhere. I know online glasses sales are cutting into the profits of private optical practices like this, but most of us can't afford the $$$ prices of glasses from an eye doctor which is why I always order mine online for about 1/5 the cost of getting them at an eye doctor.

Charge $100.00 for a missed appointment fee! I'm writing to…read moreshare feedback regarding my recent experience. Previously, I had a very positive visit-l came in with a concern about my eyes and was seen quickly. The exam was thorough, and the staff made me feel at ease. Everyone was professional and friendly, which I truly appreciated. However, as of 4/18/26, I'd like to update my experience. I had scheduled an appointment about six months in advance, and unfortunately, I forgot to add it to my calendar and missed it. I take responsibility for that. That said, I did not receive any reminder-no phone call or text-which made it much easier for the appointment to slip through. I was then charged a $100 missed appointment fee. While I understand and respect the need for such policies, the amount feels excessive, especially without any prior reminder. I hope you'll consider the feedback and possibly review your reminder system and fee policy.

Two weeks later, we went to get new glasses, and the person fitting him just put the glasses on, and that was it. My son told him he had trouble with the right eye, and he dismissed it; said give it some time, and then come back if you still have trouble. We did, and was told that there was an issue with the right eye, to make yet another appointment. Come on, how many appointments does this place want you to make? In addition, he was misinformed regarding the new glasses as you could NOT adjust them as they did not fit his face properly. Well, we are going to America's Best to get this straightened out because there is no way we will ever return to Reed. I would definitely stay away.............really wish I had.

What I got was an eye that cannot see clearly from 6 feet+. What happened? The doctor said that he made the decision to make my eye nearsighted because I had lasik surgery 20 years ago. This new plan was NEVER discussed with me prior to my surgery. I would have never approved this, as i wanted clear distance vision and was prepared to wear glasses for reading. What I'm left with is vision that requires glasses for ALL distances! And the lens cannot be removed and replaced. So I'm out of $2600 plus I have poor vision. I pursued a second opinion from an expert doctor in another town and he said that he would never have put a Vivity lens in my eye. And to make it all worse, Cornerstone recommended laser to remove scar tissue on my lens capsule. This was a simple procedure and I had not yet received my Second Opinion. Following that surgery, I had absolutely no improvements in my vision AND I had a negative side effect of increased floaters and a dangerous side effect of increased eye pressure and a chance of retinal damage and loss of vision! (Vitreous prolapse). At my followup for the laser surgery Cornerstone did not even talk to me about the vitreous prolapse! Stay away from Cornerstone Eye Associates! They did not listen to my wishes (which were clearly charted) and they did not take responsibility for my botched eye that is permanent!

Based on that information, I made the appointment, waited nearly three weeks, took time off work, and drove 25 miles one way, only to be informed upon arrival that I first needed an eye exam and that they would then decide whether to schedule a visual field test approximately three weeks later. This important detail was never communicated to me when I called and clearly explained what I needed. I am extremely disappointed with this lack of communication and the inconvenience it caused.
