I've been a patient of Stamford Ophthalmology on and off since 2015. The physicians and clinical…read morestaff have always been outstanding, which is why I turned to them for my cataract surgery in late 2024. The medical care deserves five stars. Unfortunately, my experience with the billing office has been the exact opposite. On March 5, 2026--more than a year after my October and December 2024 surgeries--I received a voicemail saying, "I think we have an old address. We tried to send you a bill and the PO returned it." I returned the call immediately, provided my current address, and asked for an account statement showing exactly what I owed and why. Instead, I received a confusing printout that did not answer my questions. I never received a proper bill at my updated address. When I later called to follow up, the first employee told me only that my account was "closed" and that I would have to pay to have it reopened. He could not explain what that meant or answer basic questions, so he transferred me to the office manager. After a lengthy hold, Stacey repeatedly interrupted me as I tried to explain the situation, became increasingly hostile, raised her voice, and ultimately hung up on me. The only useful information I received was that the account had already been turned over to collections. What is so frustrating is that I was trying to get clarify and pay the bill. As soon as I learned there was an outstanding balance, I called back, updated my address, and asked for documentation explaining the charges. Rather than receiving a clear bill and an opportunity to resolve the matter, I learned only weeks later that it had been sent to collections. I paid it today and will never return, nor will my partner.

STAY AWAY! Horrible staff and billing department. Laughed at me and hung up when I inquired about…read morea service that was not performed. In addition, the routine exam took 2 1/2 hours. It's a shame, because the doctor is great. Unfortunately, her rude and unprofessional staff is not a reflection of this. Judging by other reviews on here, I'm not the only patient who feels this way. I will be looking elsewhere for a practice that treats their patients with respect and kindness.

I, apparently like others, also wish I had read the reviews before I came here. Same story as…read moreapparently many others- even though my insurance covers eye exams and lenses/contacts, this office proceeded to find random other charges to add that were unnecessary. For instance, although I've worn contacts since 6th grade, I was told that to get my (insurance covered) contacts that I would have to pay $120 for a "fitting". When I asked why I needed a fitting, they couldn't answer and just said "this is what we charge." Most definitely wont be returning.

Like others, I wish I had come to read the review before I scheduled an appointment with this…read morelocation. I agree with all who stated THIS PLACE IS A SCAM, SHAM, SHODDY and UNETHICAL! I will NEVER visit this place again! My insurance pays for annual eye exam, which I scheduled. After getting there, I was informed that, IF the doctor gave a referral or wrote a prescription, that I would be charged a co-pay of at least $68.00 based on my insurance. My eyes are fine, I use eye drops for random dryness and redness but fine. At the end of my exam, the admin team informed me that I owed $68.00... For WHAT? The admin stated because the doctor recommended that I use a different, OVER-THE-COUNTER Eye Drop, INSTEAD OF THE ONE I CURRENTLY, THAT WORKS FINE! I did not need a different eye drop solution, nor did I request one, nor is it a prescription medication. Why do I owe $68.00? The admin stated, that is the policy and there is nothing that can be done. SCAM, SCAM, SCAMMMMMMM! The doctor can suggest anything and charge you additional costs. SCAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! Horrible! How are they still in business after reading all the other reviews and SCAM complaints?

Background: I am extremely picky about glasses. I will happily spend hours in the store…read moremeticulously scrutinizing every pair if that's what it takes to find one that satisfies me (and trust me, this has actually happened). The first time I bought a pair of glasses, I went to Lenscrafters in the mall, and though the sales associate was fairly nice and helpful, I felt as though his main goal was to get me in and out of there as quickly as possible. That's not the case at Pearle Vision. I've been a loyal fan for years now. The owner and the employees really put the customer first. They'll patiently help you find the best frame for you, no matter how long it takes, and they'll give you their honest opinions instead of just flattery. They understand that for some people, glasses are an treasured accessory that can be used to enhance your look or make a statement, not just a utilitarian tool or a dorky impediment to looking good (judging by their own glasses, this seems to be their own personal philosophy). They're not just there to make a quick sale.

HOW TO LOSE A HIGH KPI CUSTOMER IN 5 SECONDS: Hostile staff and dismissive management…read more Because this location is right by my apartment I walked in fully prepared to purchase a pair of glasses out-of-pocket. I wasn't even in the store for five seconds before realizing how unprofessional the staff is. Upon arrival, the front desk associate was busy working with her back turned. Before she even had the chance to turn around and greet me a woman in a white medical coat made a visibly irritated face at me for simply standing there. She then barked "Can I help you?" with an unprovoked/hostile tone. Refusing to waste my time or give my money to people who treat potential clients like a nuisance I turned right around and left. Hoping to address the behavior, I called to speak with the practice manager-who turned out to be the same associate who was working at the front desk. Instead of addressing her colleague's blatantly bad attitude her excuse was that she "didn't see much" as her back was turned followed by a patronizing "I'm so sorry you feel that way." Free advice for the practice manager: Telling a customer "sorry you feel that way" isn't de-escalation; it's a lazy brush off and a refusal to take responsibility for how customers are treated. You lost an easy sale today and I'll be taking my business to a practice that actually understands basic customer service. Save yourself the frustration and go literally anywhere else
