I called around to several doctors and no one could fit me in. I was going to need to drive home to Connecticut, a 4 1/2 hour round-trip to see my regular eye doctor. Then I called Eye Care for Rhode Island. I had an appointment within a half an hour. The office was immaculate, the staff was efficient and friendly. Dr. Medeiros was personable and knowledgeable, removed five ingrown eyelashes and I was in my way to enjoy the rest of my vacation. In and out in 25 minutes.

I went in for my first appointment just for a routine eye exam. I found everyone at the front desk…read morevery easy to schedule with and Dr. McMahon very thorough and knowledgeable during the exam. I was very happy to find a new optometrist and didn't anticipate returning for a second visit so quickly. Within a few days of my appointment I got something in my eye when walking outside in the wind. I finally called several days later when it became even more irritated and they worked me in the same day. Dr. McMahon found a grain of sand had stuck itself to my eye and said next time to not hesitate calling to come in for a check. It was such a relief to get it out and they were so awesome to get me scheduled same day to come in when I called. My daughter needs a new optometrist and I know who I'll be sending her to! I highly recommend Dr. McMahon and appreciate how considerate and professional both she and her practice is.

I will start out by saying that the physicians at this practice were stellar and this review is…read morespecific to my first hand experience with the office staff that manage the front desk. I was a patient at this practice for a few years and typically just scheduled annual appointments. That process went mostly smooth but if you have any question whatsoever it requires multiple steps of escalation and the staff are clearly annoyed and not properly trained. On one occasion I had an eye related emergency and the staff offered no emergency appointment or guidance for alternative treatment centers. That lack of assistance/guidance resulted in a $100 emergency room visit. The first question the ER asked me was why didn't your Optometrists schedule you for a sick visit? The last straw for me was when the front desk staff recently tried to cancel an existing annual appointment due to a VSP benefit being exhausted for the calendar year. The staff at no point asked if I had a secondary vision benefit (which I did) or if I still would like to keep the existing appointment with the understanding that the appointment fee would be an out of pocket expense. When I expressed to the staff that the customer service at this office is significantly lacking and that I would not be a returning patient the receptionist audibly sighed and said, " Yeah...ok" So for the above mentioned reasons I would no longer recommend this practice to others in my community.

I originally saw Dr. Mills, who was fantastic, funny, personable, and always made sure my eye care needs were fully taken care of. Since his retirement, I've been seeing Dr. Buonaccorsi, and she's just as wonderful. She's thorough, attentive, and always takes the time to answer any questions. One thing that really stands out is how quickly they can get you in for a sick visit if something comes up. That is something that's hard to find these days. The staff is consistently kind and efficient, and appointments run on time. You're in and out without the long waits. This is exactly how a doctor's office should operate. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, well-run optometry practice.

When Hazel Eye Center opened up we made the switch. First, the facility is bright and open with a few seats in a waiting area and a wall of eye glass frames. The staff here are very friendly. On our first visit we filled out the necessary information on a tablet and received a very thorough examination. My spouse and I went into the exam room together and took turns in the chair. Dr. Hazelton is very friendly and we actually enjoyed the exam. She recommended a new contact lens for me and gave a sample to try. They work well and I am happy with them. She also updated my eye glasses prescription and I purchased a new set of frames and lenses through her. They are not cheap, but as they are a designer label, they wouldn't be and my lenses are always expensive based on my prescription. This is not a surprise cost and I really like the frames. Dr. Hazelton took time to personally help me find frames I would be happy with after I told her I felt pressured into the old pair and never like the way I look in them. We have called them with questions and stopped in to pick up orders and the staff have always been friendly and helpful. They are a small business and sometimes we have to leave a message or wait for staff to come out of the exam room which we understand and don't mind. We are happy with our change of eye doctor. There is plenty of parking in front of and to the side of their office. They are located right where Bald Hill road turns into Quaker lane across from the Stop & Shop/Cowesett Corners Shopping Center. If coming from the south, you will drive past the building, turn left at the court house then left again and come up Quaker Lane to access the parking lot.
