My husband and I were both patients of Dr. Hodges for a number of years. After my cataract surgery…read more(done by Dr Hodges) I had a great deal of vision loss. My husband was diagnosed with glaucoma but Dr. Hodges told him he was out of treatment options so his vision became severely degraded. Dr. Hodges seemed kind and personable but dismissed our concerns and told us there was nothing that could be done. Out of frustration about our continued vision loss, we set up an appointment with another ophthalmologist for a second opinion. She disagreed with Dr Hodges' assessment - she immediately changed eye meds, provided lots of options, and much more hope, for saving our vision. Already we are seeing better, but unfortunately, you can't turn back all the existing damage. We wasted much too much time and we lost way too much of our vision trusting Dr. Hodges.

Save your time and money and go elsewhere for glasses, especially for progressive lenses as they struggle with determining focal points.

I have heard good things about Dr. Thadani as a surgeon, but his staff is mediocre at best. I know…read morethat no one is perfect, but the office makes too many mistakes to be in a health environment. Incorrect scheduling is not the worst of their problems. Not only was I incorrectly scheduled on a day reserved for laser surgery (I was having standard surgery), but my lens selection was wrongly noted. Thank goodness we went over the procedure before a surgical mistake was made. Then there is the billing Assistant who works from home but confessed she did not know how to use the 'work' phone purchased for her; especially troublesome since work-at-home requires communication with the outside world. Then I noticed while on the Patient Portal, my husband was not listed as the designee for life/death decisions; instead another patient (including phone number) was listed. When I called him, he was surprised/amazed....never heard of me, let alone knew he would be required to make such decisions on my behalf. As I said before, Dr. Thadani is a competent and personable surgeon, but if you choose this practice for service, make sure they dot all the i's and cross all the t's. Your peace of mind requires extra diligence on your part.

The last place I went to, years ago, nearer my home in Westminster, featured an aging German couple who started out lacking any sense of customer service, and degenerated into outright hostility when it came down to working with insurance. So, having no clue where to start ... I walked into an "optician" shop not too far from downtown Frederick - and they only did glasses, but said they'd made plenty of referrals and got back plenty of raves for the eye exam by Dr. John. Sure enough, Dr. John not only gave me the exam, he gave full explanation of everything he was doing, including checks for health issues not directly related to vision (did you know they can spot early indications of diabetes, MS, kidney issues, and more from an eye exam??). Dr. John also answered lots of questions and worked through various scenarios on how I'd actually use the glasses (e.g. computer screen, skiing, whatever), to come up with a good solution. Plus it's no fuss - the exam fee includes all my follow up visits while I'm trying out some contacts. Recommended.

When it was Longmeadow Eyecare in the Longmeadow Shopping Center, the office staff was welcoming, engaging, and great at addressing patient needs as soon as you walked into the door. Since it has moved to Conamar Drive and taken the name "Vision 2020" I am hugely disappointed. The staff is unprofessional, uninviting, and acts like the patients are a fruit fly buzzing around their meal. Dr. Agostini is still the same and without her I would have gone to a new practice long ago. It was mentioned loudly at my last visit that they rarely clean vital lenses for pictures of the eye causing images to have artifacts. The order in which patients are taken back and addressed needs work, I was taken after two people merely because I had a contact exam. There is no reason that the staff should be trying on glasses when there is a line of people waiting to be helped. The main front desk employee, whom I have communicated with in person and on the phone, doesn't seem to know what she is doing at all. I had to help her! I don't know what is going on there, but it needs to be fixed or many people will be moving on to new practices!

Center by Dr. Gladsden at 1640 Dual Highway, Hagerstown, MD…read more Dr. Gladsden is a very friendly man who explained most of what the Laser Surgery would entail and what to expect after the surgery. What was left out of the explanation was: 1) How dry my eyes would be and that I would have to use expensive Eye drops for the rest of my life to counteract the dryness, 2) That my vision up close and mid-range (to read my laptop) would now require reading glasses. So, I was basically trading off having to use glasses to see at distance; to having to use glasses for up close reading and mid-range reading. In all the procedure was painless although expensive, I saved for two years for this procedure. If you were to ask me if I would do it again? The answer would be no; due to the lifelong side effects of the poor up close vision and having to use expensive eye drops several times a day. Remember this is one man's experience and other people's experience may differ.

I was searching for a new eye doctor for my family after a disappointing experience at a well-known…read morechain. After reading countless reviews on Google, I decided to try Peepers in Damascus, MD. Even though Damascus is farther than many other options, I don't mind traveling for great service--and I'm so glad I did because Peepers exceeded all expectations! First, let me highlight Antonio's exceptional customer service. When I called to figure out insurance details, I didn't have my insurance card or ID number on hand. Instead of rushing me off the phone, Antonio patiently worked to find my coverage through alternative methods. This level of effort and care is rare, especially over the phone, where many seem eager to hang up. Antonio also went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule, finding an appointment that worked perfectly. Now, let's talk about the experience at Peepers. How many of us dread going to the eye doctor, expecting upsells for unnecessary bifocals or feeling like just another nameless patient? Or being charged for retinal imaging without an explanation of the results? Or wandering aimlessly through a wall of frames, unsure of what fits, only to be upsold on every feature imaginable? If you've dealt with any of these frustrations, Peepers will change your perspective entirely. When I first arrived, I was a little skeptical. The storefront is modest and small--quite different from the flashy chain I used to visit. But the moment we walked in, my doubts disappeared. We were greeted immediately, and to my surprise, it was Dr. Shafi herself helping at the front desk. This spoke volumes about her hands-on approach and dedication. Dr. Shafi is an incredible blend of kindness, wit, and expertise. She took the time to explain every detail of our exams in a way that was easy to understand--something no other eye doctor has done for us. She even showed us the retinal images we paid for, explaining what we were looking at and why everything looked healthy. Her warmth made my usually reserved 11-year-old feel completely at ease, and our family's playful banter fit right in with her fun, approachable demeanor. Oh...and she's from NYC like us --- our accents are undeniable! When it came to frame selection, Antonio proved to be a "frame whisperer." My husband, a longtime glasses wearer, is pretty good at picking frames, but Antonio's guidance was on another level. The selection at Peepers may be smaller than what you'd find at larger chains, but it's high-quality and thoughtfully curated for a range of budgets. Despite it being near closing time, Antonio and Dr. Shafi helped us find frames that suited our faces perfectly, making the process enjoyable and pressure-free. In the end, my family and I found much more than an eye doctor--we found a place where we feel valued, educated, and genuinely cared for. If you're looking for a professional, personalized, and welcoming experience, Peepers in Damascus is where you need to be. Dr. Shafi and Antonio have set a new standard for eye care. Highly recommend! I know this review here in yelp is a stark contrast to others. And no, I am not crazy and I have extremely high standards. What I leaned is...the business has gone through a transition recently.
