Their Google Maps location sent us to the wrong city, which made us arrive half an hour late through no fault of our own. Instead of acknowledging the issue or showing any basic professionalism, the staff told us we would simply have to forgo the appointment -- no flexibility, no problem‑solving, nothing. I switched my husband into the other appointment, but he didn't even want to go because the woman on the phone was so rude, argumentative, and unwilling to listen when I tried to explain the Google Maps issue. We ended up finding a new eyecare provider and canceled the second appointment. When I called Newport Eyecare back to let them know, they were again incredibly rude and combative. They insisted their website clearly shows the old location as "permanently closed," even though it absolutely did not -- and it was obvious they had just updated it that day to cover their mistake. I called back once more to confirm we wouldn't be charged a no‑show fee, and the same woman repeatedly tried to put me on hold even after I said no and simply asked her to confirm we wouldn't be charged. She refused to answer the question, repeating the same script over and over instead of addressing what I was asking. They also claimed they sent letters to patients about the address change. We never received anything. This office has the rudest, most incompetent staff I've ever dealt with. They don't listen, they argue, they deflect blame, and they can't keep their own information updated. Avoid at all costs.

It had the only eye doctor that did not give me a disrespectful hard time about refusing eye dilation. Dr. Vachon's exam and diagnosis, even with my cataract, was spot-on and I can now see things I've not seen in years. Eye dilations are for medical diagnosis only and not needed just to get an updated vision prescription. In fact, the only poor eye exam prescription outcomes I've had in my entire life - 4 of them in 2 states - were the result of eye dilations and the exams had to be redone every time, even when an ophthalmologist did them - at an average additional cost of $60! Penobscot's optician, Rebecca, also did an excellent job with their selection of frames and with fitting and finish work and my new glasses were ready in half the estimated time. I would highly recommend Penobscot Eye Care to anyone.

When asked if there were any resources or help during this time, I was once again reminded of the "company line".
