After arriving and…read morewaiting approx 20 minutes, and 10 minutes after my scheduled time, the receptionist said she just realized I was a new patient and needed to fill out forms. I completed them and after waiting another 15-20 minutes I was told they could only do an exam for glasses and I would have to schedule an additional appt for contact lens fitting because the only person capable of doing this works on only two days. Why was I not scheduled with that person initially since I told the office I was coming in for contact lenses and glasses. What chaos and disorganization. I left after wasting more than 90 minutes between travel and waiting. I will not waste time doing business with such a sloppy practice. Don't waste your time, go somewhere else.

I spoke with insurance and they confirmed--ended up costing me hundreds of dollars. They always would tell me I needed an exam, even when I had already had one recently. I just had to call them again for my RX information so I could order online. Guy on the phone told me it expired and I can't order lenses anywhere. I reminded him that all RXs are extended due to covid. He told me I was wrong and I missed the grace period. I called Visionworks immediately after. They said RX was still good due to covid. Contacts are already in the mail. Again, nice enough people when you see them, but they tell me I need an exam literally every time I speak to them, or they charge me full for lenses and ignore my benefits. Will not go here again.

The office is clean and usually punctual. Based on this I had referred my husband and others to the practice. The unfortunate - my 6 year old was evaluated and in dire need of glasses. There was not much inventory for a young child so I left having been advised that they'd have more samples in a few days and I'd get an email or text with the styles to evaluate in advance. This was 12/9. I waited several days, then began to follow up... phone calls, voicemail, text messages...absolutely no reply. None. I figured holiday hours and schedules could warrant a delayed response... but it's now 12/30 and still no response. My husband went in person to perhaps see if they were closed and maybe forgot to update their voicemail... and to our surprise the office was open! There was no acknowledgement of my numerous attempts for outreach, and even asked if I wanted to wait for the new samples to come in...um, no! My child needs these to see, and it's already been 3 weeks!! Mistakes happen, but good customer service and communication goes a long way, and this was totally absent from my recent experience. Needless to say, I asked for the prescription and will be filling it elsewhere.

A life-changing and eye-opening experience. For years, I tolerated the big box "eye care"…read moreexperience due to the convenience and "affordability." However, after moving to N. Andover, I decided to seek a new eye care provider, and fortunately, I discovered Family Eye Care and Dr. Patti. Today, I have an entirely new perspective on eye care and the importance of finding a practice that takes the time to educate its patients and invests in the latest technology to ensure its patients receive the best care. No dilatations and puffs of air make the experience even better. Unbeknownst to me, I have been tolerating FINE contacts, as I've been wearing the same brand for a decade. Now, I have a new look on life and have learned a great deal about my eyes and how to care for them and adequately handle my contacts to ensure they feel great! Highly recommend this practice -- you'll be pleased with your decision to take your vision seriously.

Both of them are from in his own line of Todd Rogers glasses. They really fit my personality and make me feel stylish. But, besides the excellent quality of his glasses, is the way he treats his customers. He gives everyone his special attention and has such and expertise in fitting you in the frames that it's amazing! Also his warmth, compassion and humor put you at ease. And he absolutely stands behind his work. Customer service is king and if you want the extra TLC, I highly recommend Todd. Don't be fooled into getting the cheapest glasses you can find. In the end you won't be happy. Through experience I have found that going to Todd his glasses are worth every penny!

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.

Fast forward to two weeks ago. Over the course of time, I had managed to scratch the lenses and lastly I had broken one of the arms which had detached from the lens. i stopped by the shop and told my tale of woe to Ethel who assured me that they could order the broken part and that my lenses had a 2-year guarantee so she would also order new lenses to replace the scratched ones. But that's not the best part of my experience. Due to my work schedule it's difficult to get to their place of business during regular hours. So their technician, Garrett, offered to stay after closing to align and grind the new lenses and fix the broken arm. He spent the better part of 90-minutes after closing to insure that the grinding, polishing and aligning of the frame and glasses were a perfect fit for me. That's extraordinary customer service and deserves to be lauded. Let me not forget to mention Jonathan Parrelli who entertained me with conversation while I waited. This is truly one great place to shop for eyeware.

Now is on a year after and i dont even use it because the scratch keep bugging me and i just saw underneath of my lense its peeling off. Idk what is that but it's obviously a cheaply made coating and sell it for overprice market. I need people to know that to bring your business elsewhere. Their 'opticians' has no optician skill, they were taught how to 'be optician' without knowing what exactly they have to do. I went to a different optical store and told them my experience, he said that he used to be hired there and teach those salespeople to be 'optician' wanna be. And he is the one that made me realize why the scratch is only on 1 side. Lense crafter, you should be ashamed of your self. Selling overpriced item with no quality.
