My husband and I were new patients at Primary Eyecare and both of us agreed that going to Primary Eyecare was a stress-free experience.

This was my first visit to this eye doctor since my 2019 appt somewhere else. For those of you…read moreconcerned about how the practice is handling appts, here's the news: Once you make an appt, you get an email with a form to complete and bring with you and a confirmation with instructions for your appt. They are asking you to call once you're in the parking lot. I waited near the door (not hovering over it) and Dr Leggin came out to bring me inside. She took my temp right away, took my form and asked me to use hand sanitizer. I went into the exam room where she explained everything that was disinfected and what was being used. She washed her hands before starting the exam and used hand sanitizer quite frequently. She remained double masked the entire time and took the time to talk through some questions and comments during the appointment. Once done, I checked out with the front desk, which is partially covered with plexiglass except for a small opening to pass through paperwork and payment. The person at the front desk was also masked and there were signs posted about the guidance they're following. My appt was on a Wednesday and my contacts and glasses are expected to arrive the following Monday. Overall, a solid appt. Peace of mind knowing these are the steps being taken for an eye appt. She is not able to see the same volume of patients due to all the extra steps needed. I lucked out getting an appt just a few days from calling. She is dedicating an hour per patient to allow time for those extra steps (disinfecting, taking temp, asking to to use hand sanitizer, etc). Parking is easy as there's a dedicated shared parking lot for the area she's located (behind old man rafferty's).

Read on for the details. After the exam, I was whisked into the section with the glasses and was coerced into picking out very expensive frames that were barely covered by my insurance. It felt like a money grab. The markup on plastic frames is ludicrous. The frames that my insurance covers were piled in a bucket that I would have to pick through while the expensive frames were nicely displayed. I found out that I could get a lot more for what my insurance covers at Costco. I could have gotten 2 pairs at Costco for what I paid at the doctor for one pair. I called to cancel my glasses order and they said "it's too late." They placed the order an hour before I called. I hardly think they were grinding the lenses at that point. I got my glasses and I noticed that one of my eyes didn't feel right. I went back to see if the problem could be figured out. Long story short, Dr. Timko barely did anything to assess the problem and when I asked her to check the glasses against the prescription, she was *very* dismissive and said "We do that when the glasses come in." I went back to my regular eye doctor to see if he could help me figure out the problem. Turns out the eye that felt weird had a prescription lens that was stronger than what she wrote. I was right. If only she had the courtesy to check the glasses like I asked her to. I do not like being dismissed- I would imagine no one does. I called to let them know about this and they offered me nothing. I asked them to take the glasses back and reverse the insurance claim. They gave me credit for the glasses. A week later, when I went to purchase my glasses elsewhere, I found out that they never reversed the claim. I called them immediately from the optician's, and they assured me they would call insurance right away. TWENTY minutes later, I called back and they said they got busy. I told them this was supposed to be done a week ago and they said "it's a complicated process". They are liars, VSP is one of the easiest companies to work with. I had to pay full price for my glasses because of Timko's INEPTITUDE. I filed a grievance with my insurance company. She absolutely should not receive a DIME from insurance. I do not trust them with my eyes. This place has ZERO accountability, the doctor is very arrogant, they are liars, and they don't follow through. I do not recommend.

I had been dealing with…read morethe same vision issue for five years and received four misdiagnoses and ineffective contact lens prescriptions from four different optometrists. Dr. Timko expertly and accurately diagnosed my issue in less than 10 minutes. I walked out the same day with a pair of contact lenses that completely corrected my vision problem. It was that easy! The staff is friendly and courteous, and I love the decor inside her new location in Somerville. I had such a great experience on my first visit that I came back a second time with my 9 yo daughter, who ended up needing her first pair of glasses and walked away with a very cute pair that she was excited about. Good opportunity to shop local and support a woman-owned small business. Highly recommended!

I never completed my exam without knowing all the details.

I was uncomfortable and felt that I shouldn't have had to ask him to pull up his mask. I wish Dr. Beth would return. My family now has to find another eye doctor! I am disappointed!

Ehhh. First of all…read morethey aren't a corporately owned Pearle Vision Center so they won't honor the corporate coupons. I thought that was weird, like your local dominos accepts corporate coupons. They are kind of gruff. The doctors office was fine, but the eyeglass staff seemed like...I dunno, not customer first. They don't seem to care really - just want to make a sale. The selection of frames is pretty weak. Like they all look alike. The stylish ones on the posters in the store ARE NOT IN THE STORE. I literally drove home and brought back old frames from a pair of sunglasses I had and had them put the lenses in. These were like old people frames or a lot of the same shape/size. Service example- they yell FROM ACROSS THE STORE at you like the second you open the door to sign in - the sign in process was pretty confusing/unorganized. They aren't clear that the add ons to the exams aren't required. For the glasses, I wasn't explained the different lens options just shown a sheet and told to pick which ones I wanted. Other places talk you through the lens options. I needed a thinner lens- I had to ask for it, it wasn't offered to me initially. All in all, I needed glasses replaced and based on past experience with Pearle offices I picked this one because it was close. I should have gone to LensCrafters like I wanted to as it has been 2 full weeks and they aren't expected back for another week. I could have walked them to the Luxottica factory in 2 weeks or had my glasses in a week from a competitor. What's done is done. I'll tell you what, I won't go back after I get these glasses. ‍
