Excellent place to get glasses and exams. Dr Fung is very friendly and professional! Nicole the assistant and Mya the eye glasses tech were great to deal with and professional! Thank you for being such a great place and caring about your patients! read more

Been coming to see Dr. Sienko for about 10 years. Great office staff that is very diligent and caring. Dr. Sienko always takes whatever time necessary to care for you. The eyewear center is convenient and not a hard sell. They obviously know you can get glasses elsewhere for less but you don't get the service and follow up you get here. read more

The staff that helped me with my eye exam were wonderful. The girl in the eyeglass section, not so much. I was hurried along, she kept handing me glasses when I told her I wanted to look around at them to find something I liked. She was very distracting and kept grilling me so I ended up just leaving without glasses because she wouldn't ease up and let me shop, it was like she wanted me out of there. read more

The front desk staff was so efficient and did a great follow up about booking my appointment. However I felt very rushed in my appointment with Dr. Fung . I was rushed through my exam for a new eyeglass prescription, she never gave me the prescription. She never spoke to me about my eye health nor did she re fit me for new contacts or have me try on new contacts , she only gave me sample contacts at a slightly increased prescription to try for a couple of days. The contacts did not help and Only made my sight worse. I will not be going back here and will recommend my insurance not to pay for this visit. I will now have to find another doctor. What a waste of time and money. read more

In the event that life is happening and you hit delays, a little over 5 minutes past your appointment time will result in them bumping your appointment. Seems like a good policy for clients who are chronically late, but not for the average one time issue. Our appointment was for a child who had to leave school early to get there mid-day. No options given but a new appointment 20 days out. However, if you are there in a timely fashion, as we usually are, you may wait for them for 10 - 15 minutes if they happen to have delays within the office. If you have the option, seek out a kinder more compassionate Eyecare center. read more

If I could give this place no stars I would. The staff is rude and 2 years in a row when I called to make an appointment I asked if my insurance was excepted and the answer was "yes"... both times. Last year they told me AFTER I already had my exam that they did NOT in-fact take my insuance. Then today, I decided to arrive a little early to pick out my glasses before my appointment- go figure, when I handed them my insurance card... they did not take it! I am beyond annoyed and pissed at this place! read more

Best VSP provider selection of frames in the area w/out a doubt. Even more choices on quality high end frames than other chain stores who didn't support my plan. Patient, attentive and willing to give advice on style choices. read more

I went to Wallingford Eye Care and had a routine eye exam with Dr. Sienko recently. He was great, made me feel comfortable and finding the right prescription was easy and not rushed. Very thorough and helpful. A couple weeks later I returned to pick up my glasses and also had another concern I needed addressed, which this time I saw Dr. Albanese. Just like the other doctor, she was extremely helpful, patient, thorough, and made it a comfortable experience. Highly recommend both of them. The rest of the staff is hospitable and easy to work with. read more

Dr. Sienko is amazing and so is his staff. Val who checked me in was awesome and my entire experience there was great. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Dr. Sienko was very knowledge, as I have had past eye issues and he addressed them without me giving him prior medical history. His recommendations and advice were really helpful. Highly recommended. One of the best eye doctors I've ever been to. He's pretty funny too! read more

The best eye center around. The doctors and staff are so sweet. Very friendly.

I am a patient of Dr. Sienko and have been for seven years. I have always been extremely pleased the care I received. When I first started going to this office I was a contact wearer. With Dr. Sienko's guidance, I decided to have Lasik surgery. Although the surgery was not performed by him, all my pre and follow up appointments were done by Dr. Sienko. I recently began bringing my son to Dr. Sienko as well. I continue to be extremely pleased with the care Wallingford Eye Care Center provides! read more

I no longer live in Connecticut, but this place was good to me for many years of my life. You get straight-forward information about your vision and the options you have for taking care of them, whether it be contacts, glasses, or otherwise. They have a nice selection of frames in the office and they will take the time to help you find a pair that's right for you. They will also break down the cost of everything to make sure you're comfortable before proceeding. If you're looking for a new home for your vision care, this is it! read more

Great doctor and friendly staff! They were very helpful and patient while I shopped around for the perfect frames, and even ordered a pair in a different color just for me to try. They were gorgeous, but not quite right for my face, and I ended up choosing a pair at another store. Stopped by to thank them and let them know, and they were still very kind and understanding. I will continue to use them as my eye care provider and may buy my next pair of Rx sunglasses there as well. read more

We've been going to Wallingford Eye Care for many years. Our appointments have usually been on time and if there is a delay, the staff keeps us up to date. Dr. Sienko is always attentive and concerned about our vision and our family history with our vision. We have also bought our glasses from the optical center and have had very good service there as well. read more

It's too bad they would not see me. Without having verification of insurance after waiting 45 min. I was told I could not be seen. I was not asked if I wanted to pay out of pocket. Which I would Have. I am very disappointed because I really wanted to try a new Dr. read more

We bought some progressive glasses and at the time of purchase we were promised that if we did not like them we could return them. The glasses did not work. We tried to return them and were told they could not return them. So, I guess they just lied to us. Either way, I would never do business with someone who is unethical. read more

I have been going to Dr. Elder for about 3/4 years. He is a fantastic eye doctor. He always takes the time to explain and answer all my questions. The staff is always attentive and welcoming. I can not recommend this office enough! read more

I've been seeing Doctor Sienko for over 25 years. i highly recommend him as he explains everything clearly concerning the eye exam. He also offers advice on using glasses etc. The eye glass side has tons of different styles also. The staff are all polite and knowledgeable. As others have stated all the equipment is up to date. Also a plus, plenty of parking. Also one time I was having an eye problem and got in quickly to see Doctor Elder and it turned out not to be as bad as I thought. He was good too and he tipped me to the MGM buffet in Las Vegas where I was going on vacation. Great tip. You even get good travel advice:) read more

Great eye care group. Staff is professional and courteous. Office is clean and up to date. Dr Elder is the best.

Right from the start the experience was excellent. As soon as I walked in I was warmly greeted. The person who did my eye diagnostic work was courteous, professional and thorough. Dr. Elder as always did a great job explaining my eye results. He is personable and willing to spend time with his patients. The entire staff is fantastic! read more

Dr. Sienko & staff make every aspect of a visit to an eye dr. easy, and honestly, FUN! I have needed glasses for my entire life, putting vision care as my number one priority. Dr. Sienko is always very insightful, (no pun intended) in helping me understand any changes in my vision and needs that should be addressed. I respect his level of expertise in his field, his honesty, and his sense of humor. I have and always will recommend him to everyone. read more

So happy I switch doctors after many years at my old eye doctor who I was not with. Highly recommend this office

Dr. Ken Elder is a great eye doctor. Very knowledgeable, very thorough and helpful. Great doctors and staff. Everyone is very professional, courteous, and friendly. I have been going here for over 10 years. Dr. Ken Elder, I highly recommend. read more

Great doctors and staff. Very professional, courteous, and friendly. Our family has been going here for over 15 years. Highly recommended.

Great appointment times, and friendly personnel. I would reccomend this place to others as a great place to go for an eye exam. They also have a wide array of optical choices in their optical department as well. I did not utilize the optical side as I have a friend who offers the same services. My eye exam was smooth, they also helped me look up insurance information in a very calm, helpful way. My other experience w medical offices is if that they are confused on your medical coverage, they don't attempt to help, rather just bill you and let you figure it out with your insurance company. Wallingford Eye Care Center was just the opposite. I felt very comfortable going there and plan to continue my visits with them in the future. read more

Very informative staff and extremely helpful to understand insurance coverage. Making an appointment to the actual exam all very pleasant experience. If you are thinking of changing where you get your eyes examined and your prescription filled this is the place. read more

I would highly recommend Wlfd Eye Center to all. Dr Sienko is extremely professional and most importantly explains things so you can understand. I will be in need of glasses/contacts soon and it would be very easy for the doctor to try and sell a product that isn't quite necessary yet and I respect him for telling me that when I am ready we will revisit it. read more

Our first visit here was great! My young daughter was treated respectfully. It was a thorough exam as it was her first. Additional charges (not covered by my insurance) were made known to me RIGHT AWAY (so should not have any surprise bills). Dr. Elder was great. He explained everything very clearly to me. I was able to ask all my questions, and Dr. Elder took extra time to make sure I had full understanding of what he was telling me. I did not feel rushed or that I was keeping him from something either. From reception to check out the office staff were friendly and helpful. At checkout I scheduled appointments for the rest of my family, with our busy schedule it took some time to find a suitable date, but the woman behind the desk was cheerful andhelpful and we worked it out. The office was clean throughout. The waiting room was comfortable and had age appropriate reading materials for my daughter and myself. A wonderful experience start to finish! Totally recommend Dr. Elder and the staff at Wallingford Eye Care Center. read more

Dr. Elder and all the staff in the office and the optical center are always so pleasant. They do a great job of explaining the benefits of my vision plan to me in an easy to understand way. The assistants are very thorough and patient. Dr. Elder is attentive to my questions and concerns and at times when I have had eye "emergencies", they have been very accommodating and helpful. I highly recommend them. read more

Dr. Sienko and staff are personable, welcoming and efficient. They keep up on technology, trends and eye health science. Dr. Sienko listens to our lifestyle and activities before recommending eyewear choices, and they promote use of our insurance benefits to save us the most money. After using this group for 25 years (and travelling 45 mins. to do so), I can easily say they are Highly Recommended! read more

Nothing special. They claim to be in network with Anthem, however, they always charge full price without checking to see my coverage. Since Anthem is about a mile up the road from them and the second largest health insurance company in the country you would assume they would know their policies. The doctors are good but they don''t seem to care about the incompetence in the billing department. After 30 years we are bailing out. read more

I will never ever go here again. I got my annual eye exam from them which was great. No complaints there. After I got my prescription from them, I called them to inquire how much a year's worth of contacts would cost and how much my new insurance would take off from the order. The employee said she would find out and let me know. She never called me back, yet 2 days later, they charged $280 from my debit card that I used previously with them. I never authorized that charge and yet they charged me anyways. I WILL NEVER EVER ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN! Be careful ordering from them! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Sienko for maybe 20 years if not more. He's always been professional, friendly, and most of all, just a regular guy (I'd have a beer with him). He always remembers what we discussed the last time I was there, even if it was two years ago. I moved away from Wallingford in 1997, but have continued to drive from from my new town to his office because I've always been pleased with my experience with him and his staff. They always have the latest vision testing equipment, and Dr. Sienko always takes time to explain exactly what he finds and gives options to make sure I have choices. Prices may be a bit higher than chain optical places, but if you have decent insurance, the experience I've had is the reason I return year after year. read more

I moved to CT about 5 years ago and when I finally decided to establish my doctors locally, I stumbled upon the Wallingford Eye Center. My experience with this office has been excellent! The front desk staff is always very friendly. I even completely forgot about an appointment and they rescheduled me for an appointment the next week, with absolutely no irritation or issue. Dr. Sienko the MAN. He is not only very friendly, but he is also extremely attentive to me even though I only see him once a year. The glasses selection is alright, but I have funky tastes so i go elsewhere for frames, but the staff is very patientIf I move, I will be sad to leave this place. I have really enjoyed my experience in this office. read more

The facilities are nice, new and clean, Dr. Elder and the staff are very friendly and professional. The selection of glasses and frames are probably the best in the area. I would not hesitate to recommend this office a well as Dr. Elder. read more

I have been a patient at Wallingford Eye Care Center for 20 years. They are thorough but efficient. They have relatively early hours, so I can go before work. Their eyeglass department is open early and I have brought my kid's glasses in for repair before school many times. read more

I am a patient of Dr. Elder. He explains everything to you very clearly. ALL staff are extremely friendly and always there for you. I would definitely recommend Wallingford Eye Care Center . The hours are very accommodating, as they have late nights and Saturday hours. It is a great feeling to be ale to go to a office where everyone is friendly . You get no surprises when purchasing eye glasses, as they explain what is covered and what is not covered with your insurance carrier. Keep up the good work ! read more

I was quite happy with the promptness of the exam. Dr was very nice and answered my questions. However, when I went to pick out glasses I was told that 1 whole rack was covered by my insurance (husky). When I returned the next day and picked out the glasses I liked from that 1 particular rack I was told that only 1 row was covered. It's very discouraging when the staff doesn't know the correct information. 2 visits & conflicting information read more

I have been going to this office for years and never had a bad experience. The staff has always been very friendly and helpful. They helped me figure out the best ways to get the most out of my insurance plan. My doctor is always very informative and answers all of my questions without ever making me feel like it is a silly question. Everyone there actually cares whether or not you are satisfied with your experience and how YOU are actually doing. They care!! A quality that can be so rare these days. While being caring, they are also efficient so your appointment doesn't become an all day affair...unlike some other doctor offices. The staff handling the glass fitting are is most patient - a quality I can attest to after taking a looong time deciding on frames for my first new fames in a decade. My mother and I gone back multiple times and they never seemed impatient or to have that "hurry up I am busy" attitude. I cannot praise them enough. read more

Beware of hidden costs! Despite calling beforehand to determine what the actual costs of the visit would be and being assured that the only cost was a $10 copay, I was appalled to discovered that there was a $54 fee for a 5 second eye scan, that was mandatory if you wanted contacts. They conveniently forgot to mention that and acted like it was my fault for not hearing them say it, though they didn't say it. I almost walked out and I wish I had. Then, the doctor, who was very nice, offered me a sample pair of contacts to try. I had to call back to say if I liked them or not, and it was implied, I could try the other pair he had mentioned. Several days pass, I finally get a call back and discover it will be a $75 fee to try a second brand of contacts. Again, no one ever mentioned this. And they accidentally told my insurance that I'd used my contact allotment, though I did not. I will not be going back there. read more
