He's super knowledgable and attentive. He's also one of the first optometrists that is sensitive enough not to make me feel bad about my vision but suggests ways to protect my eyes. For example, he suggested that my husband gets glasses that filter out blue wavelengths (since these tend to be the ones that are most harmful to vision). The last time we went, we were rather rushed because the only available time slot was the morning when my father was due to arrive at Bradley Airport. Never before had I felt so much like a demanding customer, constantly rushing to see if we could either wrap up early, or prepay so we wouldn't have to pay after the checkup. I felt badly, but also didn't want to keep my father waiting at the airport! Dr. Hochberg and his staff were as considerate and patient as can be. He didn't cut any corners despite my attitude and ensured we got a full checkup before departing.

I was told i would receive a confirmation call the day before with the cost for my eye exam. I called them the morning of since i hadn't received a call. I spoke to Ruth Ann who scheduled my appointment in person, she tells me "im sorry, i dont know what happened". I reschedule the appointment over the phone with Ruth Ann, I stated my concern about the appointment she didn't schedule correctly while I was in front of her. She asked if i wanted to schedule with someone else, and i said "i just want my appointment scheduled correctly". So here it is 2 days before the appointment and i get a confirmation call from Andrew confirming the date and time which was 9 a.m. Then i get a confirmation text saying my appointment is at 10 a.m. When i called and spoke to Andrew all he could say is "there is someone else who has been in the 9 o'clock time slot". No shit because you guys dont know how to do your jobs properly. I cant speak for the doctors there, but the front staff needs work on how to schedule properly. This complaint is not speaking about the tech who assits with the glasses, shes amazing.

Fortunately, I bought the warrantee, but that was only good for the first pair. The second pair - well, too bad - comes out of my pocket. I have Husky insurance. Most of us on Husky are very poor.

Kudos for making this visit as easy as he could. The office is absolutely not set up for patients in wheelchairs and we used her smaller one. The office was crowed and there is way too much furniture to comfortably navigate. The outer office waiting area does not have a wheelchair "parking" area. Now onto the eye exam . . . without Gregory, it would have been hard to complete. The equipment for the pre-exam portion is not handicap friendly. Luckily, this patient can stand for a short time. For one portion, her wheelchair wouldn't fit the area and she had to move to the chair. Now onto the actual eye exam, I knew that she would have to move to the chair but how do people who can't get out of their wheelchairs get eye exams? This really made me think and I want an answer to this? Let's discuss picking out new glasses for the wheelchair bound patients. Ugghhhhhhhhhh. There was no good spot for this either. We were in the way of everyone and there was not comfortable location for her to see in the mirror. The kind employee had to keep bring over the table mirror for her to see the glasses. Felt rushed to complete the process due to space constraint. This is not a great location for wheelchair patients.

When I called them to see what could be done to correct their mistake and get me the daily contacts I was under the impression I was ordering, I was dismissively told that "most people order monthly contacts" and that my only option was to book yet another appointment and pay full price again. I found the lack of any sort of willingness to correct a mistake on their end to be inexcusable.
