    I got a revision surgery on only my right eyelid back in October 2025. Dr. Townsend did my right…read moreeyelid because he said the reason why my left eyelid is still looking droopy is because the eyelid creases are uneven. So to even it out he made the eyelid crease on my right eyelid to match my left eyelid. Enough time has passed to heal and see the results and I'm STILL noticing my left eyelid still droopy. I notice it in the mirror, when I'm taking a picture, I feel it still droopy and it still bothers me. I notice that on my right eyelid there is some extra skin on my inner eyelid crease that doesn't match the inner left eyelid crease. It just looks weird and I'm still self conscious about my eyelids. I look closely at the pictures I take of my eyelids and notice my left one is still droopy. I was told he fixed the levator muscle but I don't think the ptosis is fixed. I moved to California and I've seen several Ophthalmologist's here but they're not being useful.

    I've always received excellent care from Dr. Terry Chin, but my recent experience with the front…read moredesk was very disappointing. When I called about my prescription expiring on 11/26, I scheduled the next available appointment for 12/30, which meant I would be without contacts for 13 days and needed a few sample lenses to bridge the gap since I couldn't purchase more with an expired prescription. When I requested samples, the receptionist was dismissive and offered no help. When I asked if she could check with Dr. Chin, she replied--in a tone that made me feel as if I should have known better--that he was with patients all day. I explained that I understood, but hoped she could ask him at some point when he wasn't actively with a patient. Despite this, she never followed up. I emailed the office today, following up on my call from Monday, explaining the terrible experience I had with the woman I spoke with and again asking that my message be passed along to Dr. Chin, as he deserves to know why a long-time patient is leaving. And once again--no response. At the very least, a response to my email should have been a basic professional courtesy, but I didn't receive any acknowledgment whatsoever. Do better, front office at Andover Eye. After reading other reviews of AEA, there seems to be a consistent theme of dissatisfaction with the front desk staff. It's surprising that nothing has been done to address it, and it makes me wonder whether the doctors are even receiving this feedback. I hope this message ultimately reaches Dr. Chin. He has always been excellent, but the lack of support and communication from the front desk ultimately led me to seek care with a new provider. On a positive note, I want to give a shout-out to the optical office staff--they have consistently been terrific.

    I brought my elderly parent in for her appointment yesterday. The doctor and his support staff are…read moreso nice, caring and thorough however, the two women at the checkout desk were so rude and unfriendly. The first one we went to just pointed to the next window- no smile, just a finger pointing. The second one had no greeting, no smile, just a big sigh and said to the rude woman at the other desk "what are we supposed to do with these?" Then she said that she wasn't going to do anything unless "she" was there - no idea who "she" is but I'm guessing it's a supervisor. So, another big sigh and said to me,"well, I'm not doing this so we'll have to call you later". I asked why I couldn't make the next appointment for my parent and she said, "she's not here and I'm not doing anything unless she says ok". Again, no idea who "she"'is. I asked for them to call me to schedule the appointment and she slapped a piece of paper down and said, "what number" so I gave it to her. 24 hours later still no call so I called the office and the very nice man who I spoke with said that they booked the appt already. I explained that they were supposed to call me and we never got a call, and that time was extremely inconvenient and we cannot make that time. He apologized but said that's all there is and there is no waiting or cancellation list but I could call back every day. So, while the medical staff is fantastic, the office staff needs some training on being friendly, as well as flexibility in scheduling. Rating is really 5 stars for doctor and nursing staff and 1 star for office staff.

    I took my elderly mother to her eye appointment today; while I was waiting for her, someone brought…read morea dog into the office. It had no markings saying it was any kind of service dog, so I assume it was someone's pet. The dog ran around loose for a while, and then it CRAPPED all over the floor! It stunk to high heaven, and I thought I was going to barf. The room was full of elderly people at the time. I would like to know why this was allowed to happen, and would like to know why I shouldn't report it to the board of health.
