He told me to take off my contacts and put them in the case he provided. When I opened the case, there was already solution in there, and it also looked dirty. I came back in telling him that this case had been used before, and he replied with "No, it is brand new, but I can give you another one". Please I have worn contact lenses for more than 6 years, I know what a new unused case looks like. Anyway, I took the new one he gave me and put my contacts in. After the exam, i put my lenses back on. He took the case back, emptied out my solution then put it back on his shelf. I mean talk to hygiene! He also did not wipe the machine with alcohol wipes, he just wiped it with lining paper. Then he said that my eyes hadn't changed so the old prescription stayed as is. I could not see well with my old prescription thats why I came in but after all he is the "professional" one. He also gave me a contact prescription which the type of contact happed to be discontinued but I had no idea, he did not tell me anything. I found out when I tried to order my contact lenses. I then called his office and he said I would have to come in for a fitting and I would have to pay to get a new kind. He's nice enough to give me half off but I'm taking my business elsewhere. This is my first and last time coming in. Very unprofessional and unhygienic environment.

I've been going to Catonsville Eye Group for years, back when they were still on Frederick Road and…read moreI've followed them to their new location on Rolling Road without hesitation. The entire team has always been professional, friendly, and genuinely caring. I see Dr. Shin, and she's absolutely wonderful. She has such a calm and kind bedside manner, really takes the time to explain everything, and makes sure I never feel rushed. You can tell she truly cares about her patients' comfort and eye health. It's rare to find a place where you feel both cared for and well taken care of, but Catonsville Eye Group nails it every time. I wouldn't trust my eyes with anyone else!

It is incredibly hard to find good doctors to trust so even though I live in Virginia, I still make the trek back to Ellicott City for every appointment. The staff is amazing, super friendly, and extremely accommodating. Some of them have been there since I started coming which shows how great this practice really is! Dr. Gordon is truly the best and I would never go elsewhere. He takes the time to make each patient feel important and never rushes me when I have questions. When I was ready, he referred me to get laser eye surgery and Barenburg took care of all the follow-up appointments. I have referred multiple friends/family members here and they are all huge fans. So many friends have stories about how they had to get multiple opinions because their eye doctors are telling them to do unnecessary treatments/medications but that's something I've never had to worry about. I will bring my son when he (inevitably based on our family history) needs glasses and highly recommend that you do too. My family and I are customers for life!

The service is okay, it's just the little things I tend to notice. The staff in the back that takes care of the initial vision assessments were okay. Dr.Etter, the new physician, is ok as well. Maybe being so used to an eye doctor who provided my vision care for over 30 years and is now gone is a difficult void for another doctor to fill for me at this time. All in all, I will continue to come here until a time I feel that I may need to move on to another provider.

I come here for my contact lens exam and fitting. I only trust Stef, the contact lens technician, with this for me. I have been going to her for over 15 years and although I did cheat on her once (it didn't end well...), I learned the error of my ways and will only come to her. She had a boatload of experience in contacts. She doesn't just give you a contect lens exam, order the lenses, and send you on your merry way; she takes the exact measurements during your fitting, and if you're a first timer, will order some sample lenses if she doesn't have them already in her vast collection of lenses. During your follow up, she has you wear the lenses, allows time for you to sit to make sure they feel comfortable, and double checks again if they are the correct prescription for you. If not, she will reorder the correct ones for you. Once your prescription is secured, Stef sends you home with sample pairs for you to try on a gradual basis (wearing them for a couple of hours and gradual building up your wear time) with you letting her know after this trial period if they are good to go; if so, you can place your order with her office or she'll write you a prescription for you to take elsewhere. FYI: They are very competitive with their pricing. All in all, Stef at Physicians Eye Care is the queen of contact lenses. You should definitely give her a try if contacts are your thing!

They are listed as a provider by my insurance but they wanted to charge me for a medical exam beyond the routine exam and refraction I had scheduled and is paid by insurance. When I told them I only wanted to get a new eyeglass prescription they refused to help me. I explained that I was under care with ophthalmologists at Hopkins and go every 4 months for a thorough exam. I just need new eyeglasses. They refused to allow me to see an optometrist to get a new prescription unless I allowed their ophthalmologist to dilate my eyes and give me a thorough medical exam for which I had to pay. I left. Scam. This applies to all of their locations. It's a sham factory.

After many attempts, my eye became blood red and hurt like hell. My husband called Dr. Brown for advise not realizing the time zone difference. It was midnight in the east coast. Dr Brown spoke to me just like if he was talking to someone in an office visit, Never once he mentioned the late night call. He was sincerely concerned about protecting my eye sight. He took the time and effort to prescribe an antibiotic for my eye to avoid infection. Then he follow up with a call the next day to gauge the improvement and ascertain whether additional intervention would be necessary.
