I had a GREAT experience here. I left another practice after my wife had gone here and had a great…read moreexperience. When I arrived I was met by a friendly person who checked me in and did the usual intake procedure of forms, etc. She was very cheerful and nice and made me feel welcome. I should also say that their offices are very modern and nice. I was made comfortable right away. After that I was taken in by an assistant (her name was Samantha) who did a thorough and enjoyable series of tests. She was very nice and relaxed and made the whole experience effortless. when we were done I was taken to another room to see the doctor. Dr. Patkin was very nice and took plenty of time to explain to me my opthalmological situation and what I should expect in the future. My hwole experience was positive and I would definitely recommend Eye Center of the North Shore to anyone.

He is a highly skilled professional, very knowledgeable on the latest surgical procedures, and always takes time to answer questions, find solutions, and go above and beyond to ensure his patients get the best care. I recently had cataract surgery and had lots of questions prior to surgery about the procedure, expected results, and the potential for any problems. Dr. Rodman took a lot of time to answer my questions and ensure I was comfortable with the answers. I have always received excellent care from him and he's always found solutions for me. I have to say that for me cataract surgery was life changing. After cataract surgery, I am in awe of the improvement in my vision. I no longer need glasses except for "cheaters" for reading. I am very happy with the results and thankful to Dr. Rodman and the Microsurgical staff for their attentiveness and care given to me as a patient. All of the Microsurgical Eye staff is very professional, always greets patients, answer questions and gives their full attention to patients. It is a large practice, but always well organized and efficient. There is a lot of teamwork among the staff to ensure the patient experience is a positive one. I would highly recommend Dr. Rodman and the Microsurgical staff with confidence in their abilities. You won't find a better team of eye care professionals! They truly care about their patients!

They damaged my vision. I went here for a new prescription and was told that I have astigmatism and…read moregiven a very strong prescription. Since using this prescription I have had a huge increase in headaches and nausea, and my vision markedly regressed. I went to see a new optometrist who ran all of the usual tests (but with actual computers and new technology, as opposed to everything being from the 70s like this place), and they told me that their machine rarely says 0 astigmatism for a client, and it did for me. I was also informed that the prescription for my right eye was 2-3 points too strong. Their technology is out of date and clearly they do now know what they are doing. The receptionist is also incredibly rude. Go elsewhere.

Paula, the admin /office person has always been helpful, even on one occasion dropping off a new pair of glasses at our house, saving us the trouble of going in to pick them up. Dr McHugh has years of experience. He doesn't have all the latest computerized gear, but we've been happy with the glasses prescriptions he's given us. *** In my case, he suggested cataract surgery, which I had done last year. He also caught a wrinkle in my retina, and sent me to a retina specialist for that condition (which, honestly, I didn't even know was a thing until it happened to me). Plus several years back he caught the beginning of macular degeneration, and advised me on what kind of protective dark glasses I should wear when I'm out in the sun, and where I could get them. *** Prices for new glasses are higher than some other places, but I chalk that up to their being a small, independent business. You can take your prescription and get glasses for cheaper at Costco, but we continue to buy new glasses through Salem Eye Associates for the convenience. *** As far as personalities go, both Paula and Dr McHugh are somewhat reserved, but with us have always been friendly and helpful. If you want bubbly, outgoing people, maybe look elsewhere, but if you want a quiet office and an eye exam you might give them a try.

Nope. She was still at least 30 minutes late. This was to every single appointment in 30 years. Not once on time. And late by at least 30 minutes. But the absolute worst, almost unforgivable was she completely changed my eye prescription. After an exam, she stated and wrote that my left eye somehow went to having no vision problems. I have astigmatism in that eye. There is no way that could happen. I'm 56 years old. They filled my contacts with that prescription and when I put them in, I got really sick due to having basically nothing in my left eye. I still wanted to give dr yoon benefit of the doubt, I mean she is the doctor, so I tried to walk to my car to drive. Well, I was so dizzy I fell down on the cement. At that point, I knew I couldn't drive and I looked at my contact boxes and realized she had made a mistake. I walked to Banville wearing my old glasses, and they argued with me. They told me I was wrong. They literally acted like I was crazy. They finally decided to give me my contacts in my old script and expected me to pay for them. Then I had glasses made, thinking they would use my old prescription. Nope. Again. The left eye was basically just plain glass. I decided to go to another optometrist for a new eye exam. As I suspected, Dr Yoon somehow completely messed up my exam and Banville was pushing a fake, very incorrect eye prescription. I went to get my new glasses fixed from Banville because I figured they should replace the lens for free. They replaced it, but reluctantly. This was the craziest experience I've ever had. After 30 years of waiting for Dr Yoon to show up for every appointment, now I'm literally arguing over an incorrect prescription- not even a slight error- an error that could have killed me or another person if I had driven. They never even apologized. Instead they treated me like I was crazy. One good thing- I found a new optometrist that has brand new, state of the art equipment that actually works and gives customers the correct prescription. And he was on time!!

I spent over $700 out-of-pocket on a pair of glasses, and my insurance paid for the rest. Within a month a lens scratched and Advanced repalced it. Less than a year after my purchase what looked like a grain of sand became embedded in a lens. Also I noticed the red paint was starting to chip from the metal frame. I came in and immediately the person at the counter said something like sorry, we no longer carry that brand. Not understanding why that should be my problem, I asked to speak to the manager. He was pretty rude & said there was nothing that could be done about the paint and then acted like he would do me a big favor - rather than standing by his product - by replacing the lens, while trying to make me feel like this was my fault. He expalained that he had the same brand glasses and multiple children who were regularly grabbing them off his face, yet he never had a problem with these glasses. That's a great story, but I'll never return here!
