This place is awful. My wife is a customer here (or WAS) and recommended I make an appointment for…read moreone of our younger kids who wants to make the leap to contact lenses. The first sketchy element is that the link my wife kept sending me kept taking me to a google search with an alternate name. It appears that they do business under two different names which is kind of shady. But the big problem is that when you try to schedule an appointment on their website, it asks you to choose three different times. This is really bad because in this area many people have jobs and families and you can't just bank on some random time MAYBE being available. So I tried to call in the morning and nobody answered. I tried to call again in the afternoon after I made the appointment and again nobody answered. This was for an appointment the next day. I got two auto-texts saying "sorry we missed your call" so I replied to the texts saying I have a job and four kids and I can't be left hanging on these appointments, and this is a bad first impression after my wife recommended this place. I get a call back FIVE minutes after that text from a someone sounding like a sorority chick who just got dumped by her boyfriend. Huge attitude immediately. She's like "Those are just APPOINTMENT REQUESTS, SIR! We have ONE appointment at 7:45am tomorrow." Okay, well the appointments I thought I signed up for were 2:15, 2:30, and 2:45. So I calmly asked why the website listed 12 appointments for tomorrow and 18 for the next day if none of those were really available. And she just kept replying to everything I said by getting increasingly loud and obnoxious so I finally said, "well I guess I will go to another practice then," and before I could even say thanks and bye, she hung up on me. After this conversation, a lot of stuff is even weirder as I think about it. If the appointments are "just requests," then why were there "no requests" listed today, "12 requests" tomorrow, and "18 requests" the next day? That's totally nonsensical because if nothing is guaranteed then why list ANY times that are definitely not available??? And if you're going to list some times, why not list them all? Still the worst is just the rudeness. If your instant response to someone texting that you made a bad first impression but TRYING TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION BY SETTING A FIRM APPOINTMENT is to call them back in a haughty tone, then perhaps you should not be employed in customer service. Or, maybe the front desk person was out today and I was called by a doctor. But that just makes things even worse. Anyway, imagine potentially gaining 5 new customers (the rest of my family) and instead losing one (my wife) with just one phone call! Amazing. Anyway btw I got an appointment at MyEyeDr in the Boro same day today and they were actually nice...

The email notifications could use some improvement--the scheduling link in the email went to the wrong system--but the scheduling link on the website worked perfectly fine. I didn't buy new frames this time since my prescription didn't change and I'm still happy with my current pair. They do have a wide selection of frames, and while many lean toward the expensive side, the quality looks good and there are plenty of nice options to choose from.

If not for the care of Dr. Mitchell and his staff, I probably would not be able to see well enough to work any more. As a long term patient, I have been seen by most of the technicians and both Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Morin. My visits have been both routine checkups and emergency visits when I have had problems that needed immediate care. Without fail, they have identified what needed to be done and delivered a treatment plan that worked. At one point, Dr. Mitchell referred me to a specialist for a rare condition with serious health implications. I liked that he knew his limitations and was comfortable sending me to a subject level expert. When I researched the person I was referred to, I was pleased to learn that I was being sent to one of the best in the country! I have always been treated kindly and with respect. The doctors and staff listen to what I say and give thoughtful responses. They are really the best!!!

I wish there were an option to give 6 stars. Or 7. Dr. Mitchell is awesome…read more So 4.5 years ago I had him do my ICLs, which were fantastic because, as someone with vision in the -10 to -11 range in each eye, in addition to dry eyes, I was not a LASIK candidate. Those ICLs made it so that I didn't have to wear glasses anymore, and could see just like everyone else. Hooray! But then about 2 years ago, I had a corneal lesion (don't ask, you NEVER want to have one of those-- SO horribly painful) and that (likely) set off a downhill slide into ... CATARACTS. Yes, a 38 year old developing foggy vision, especially in the left eye, where I'd had the corneal problem. By the time I was 40 (earlier this year), my left eye was completely fogged and useless and my right eye was halfway fogged up. It was like looking through an opaque fogged up shower door all day long. I couldn't see squat. 40 year olds aren't supposed to have cataracts! Grandma and grandpa are! Well, in swoops the gallant Dr. Mitchell to save the day, yet again. During surgery, he pulled out the ICLs and the fogged up natural lenses and gave me crystal clear new lenses and now I'm seeing better (mid-range and distance) than I ever have. EVER. Even with the ICLs. (The reason for that is it's always better vision the fewer lenses there are - so natural + ICL is going to be worse than just natural.) Because I had an astigmatism to fix and they don't make toric multi-focals (and the Dr. says he thinks they wouldn't be that good anyhow because it's trying to do too much), I will always need (pharmacy-bought) reading glasses for the two feet or so in front of me, but sheesh! I can see again! I can read street signs! I can see leaves on the trees instead of just a blob of hazy color! I. Am. Thrilled. Marry me, Dr. Mitchell? :-)
