My husband and I have always been pretty picky when it comes to optometrists, and given that you…read moreonly need to go once a year, it's been hard to find someone we truly liked... until Dr. Hochberg. 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've been going to Spector eye care for the last several years. Dr. Schantz, my Dr. at Spector has…read morebeen great , thorough , attentive and totally professional. Ho hum visits, just the way I like them. Change glasses and contact lens prescriptions periodically, in and out of office with nothing much to think or worry about. Several weeks back she told me I needed to have a cataract taken out and steered me to Dr. Spector. Well eyes being my second favorite body part, I was petrified to consider an eye surgery. Simply put Dr. Spector is amazing ( that coming from a perpetual cynic). Not only was he patient explaining my need for treatment , he gave me several alternatives. Laser surgery being the one I opted for. Surgery was not only painless, he was thorough, professional and just plain great. My follow up the next day solidified in my mind that he really cares about his patients and their well being. Hoping anyone reading this does NOT need eye surgery but if you should, I highly recommend Dr. Spector for surgery and any of his colleagues for basic eye care. Richard B.

Dr. Spector is extremely knowledgeable, even beyond the subjects of optometry! I was amazed about…read morehow he was able to run an entire office by himself, and still give the same level of attentiveness to his patients. Throughout my appointment, we had a really good conversation going, about all sorts of topics. Ask him anything about your eyes, and he can really give you the scientific and medical explanations you're looking for. Contact lenses can be received only a few days after you order them, which is a major plus. Now to my complaint -- I severely feel that I was overcharged for my contact lens appointment + 1-year lens supply. Twice I have gone to Dr. Spector, and twice I was shocked by the costs. I have previously gone to eye doctors before under the same insurance policy, ordering the same brand of lenses, and never has it been this high ($230)! When I got home and expressed my disbelief at the cost, I had realized that I paid and wasn't even given a receipt. My boyfriend suggested that I do get an itemized receipt to make sure that the doctor wasn't just pulling numbers of out thin air, so I did exactly that when I went to pick up my contact lenses. Then, Dr. Spector went to seemingly great lengths to fabricate a receipt for me. He did quite a few calculations simply to write down 2 numbers on this little piece of paper to describe the breakdown between the cost of the appointment vs. the lenses. Then he said, "Oh wait, you have insurance, so that's not quite right..." and re-did his calculations, but of course, magically the 2 new numbers he wrote down still added to $230. Mind you, he took no time at all figuring out the cost of $230 when he was charging me, so I have grave suspicions that there's shenanigans in the pricing.

She took the time to separate each frame after I tried them on for cleaning before putting them away, which I appreciated greatly due to the concerns I had about anyone just grabbing and trying on whatever they wanted. This was not the case here, I pointed to the ones I wanted to try, along with Sarah's suggestions and she took them out herself. Clearly this store takes sanitation seriously which is so important during a time like this. The staff (Sarah, Zwindee, and Dr. Vermund) were masked and displayed respect, courtesy, and friendliness during a time that is so full of high strung and stressed people. Dr. Vermund was extremely thorough and very knowledgeable. He took his time to check the health of my eyes during my exam and asked me questions and was open to answering any questions I had. I highly recommend him for eye exams as he checks for everything and uses precision and takes the time and effort to wash his hands and equipment multiple times during the exam. This location made my eyewear needs easy and stress free during a time where stress is at an all time high.
