This was undoubtedly the best optometry visit I have ever had…read more I met with Dr. Wise. I super appreciated that he did NOT rush my appointment. He took time for me to ask questions and spent the time to thoroughly explain the answers so that I could understand the optometry lingo. This is the first time I've come away from a visit actually understanding the health and status of my eyes and vision, what to watch for and what to do if it happens. Not related to their credentials, but I also love that both Dr. Wise and his wife are optometrists at the practice. It's adorable. Dr. Wise and the assistants at the front desk helped me with getting a copy of my visit since I am about to move so that I would have my records. It was extremely helpful. Best optometry visit I have had in my life because of the time spent, great explanations, and quality of care.

In the interests of full disclosure, I've had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Paul Botelho personally,…read moreso when it came time for cataract surgery last year, he was the natural choice. Lest you think it's only due to personal relationship, Paul is also an instructor at Brown. Who better to perform eye surgery? That said, the overall experience was very positive, from scheduling to the exam process, then surgery, then billing question follow up. The actual surgery is done in batches, almost assembly-line styler. That may sound negative, but the staff was very attentive to all patients' personal needs and kept the process extremely organized so my mind was at ease knowing I was in good hands. Kudos to all the staff for a job well done! This office is highly recommended.

I have been looking for a good eye doctor for some time now. After visiting a few (and regretting…read moreit) I decided to give Advanced Eye Centers a call. I used to see one of the founding doctors years ago when I was young, as I've had eye issues all of my life. It was easy to schedule my appointment as I was still in their system after what had to be 8 or 12 years! They went over my insurance with me and explained what I'd be expected to pay at my first visit. I was able to get an appointment scheduled about two weeks out, but that was partly because my own work schedule is busy! I arrived about 10 minutes early and completed some simple paperwork. I was the only one in the waiting room and right on time was greeted by Dr. Michaud, an OD at the practice. My exam was thorough but quick, which was really great as I was in and out in about 30 minutes. I was able to get a pair of contacts in my new prescription to wear home and ordered a few months worth to be delivered to my house - super convenient. Check out was simple and easy. They do have an optical shop on premises which is convenient, but I chose to keep my old frames and they do charge a fee on top of the lense replacement charge if you aren't purchasing new ones through them. I elected to shop around for prices, so I didn't spend too much time in the shop. The doctor and staff were friendly and helpful and the practice was very clean. I had a great experience and will continue to visit them in the future.

I've needed corrective lenses since I was seven years old. An odd kid, I thought that glasses were…read morea sign of distinction and couldn't wait to have a pair to call my own. Over the years, my opinions on this matter have changed completely. What I wouldn't give to have 20/20 vision and see the world with crystal clear clarity, without the help of my industrial strength contact lenses (when I take them out, the world becomes one big Monet painting). Luckily, I have the very best ophthalmologist, Iman Ali, in whom I've placed complete trust to keep my peepers healthy and bright since 2005. At that time, I traveled the 45 minutes from my apartment in Quincy, MA to see her in Fall River. Eight years later, I still travel to see her, forsaking many other qualified ophthalmologists in Providence. For my first appointment, she had her work cut out for her: I was fresh from a major car accident during which I'd suffered eye injuries that made wearing my traditional contacts extremely uncomfortable. She was patient, caring, and so confident that I could keep wearing contacts (by the time I reached my twenties vanity had sunken in, and I no longer agreed with my seven year old self that glasses were a badge of honor). She knew instinctively how to care for a young woman who'd suffered a physical and emotional trauma, and with her help, my eyes - and my overall well being - improved. Today, there's barely any remnant of the original injury, and my prescription has, against all odds, grown lighter in strength. Other fantastic details that make Dr. Ali's practice, Total Eye Care, an excellent choice include: a friendly front desk staff (who in all these years have remained intact - I mean, no discernible turnover. This speaks volumes!); a charming little coffee shop in the main lobby before you enter the office; and for those who DO still think that glasses are a true fashion statement, a huge range of high end designer eyewear, including gorgeous prescription sunglasses. If I still liked wearing specs, I'd have no shortage of luxe and lovely options. Dr. Ali is - to coin a well worn phrase - the very best in the business. She's so smart, so sophisticated, and so easy to talk to. She's Brown University educated, NYC trained (where she gained incredible experience working on patients suffering from eye issues in the wake of 9/11), and superbly suited to a practice in an area like The Riv, where folks really appreciate a doctor who remembers all sorts of things about you: little facts that might date back years. While she's thoroughly modern, hers is the type of practice that hearkens back to the physician practices of old, which were built on a strong sense of family, where all generations went to the same doctor -- and that doctor inquired after one's parents, as the pediatric patients matured into adulthood. This makes my annual eye appointment feel like coming home, in the best way!

This must be said; the previous review by Lucie M. is inaccurate and frankly, untrue…read more I have been going to Dr. Sakovits since I was a youth, and over the last 15 or so years of appointments there, I have yet to have an unpleasant visit. Both staff and the Doctor are excellent at what they do. I had a reoccurring issue with my eyesight a few years ago and Dr. Sakovits was beyond understanding and sensitive to my needs, highlighting all of my options to better my sight and therefore, my life. Both staff and Doctor are continuously lovely and exhibit a professional manner when I'm there. Appointments are made efficiently and promptly by reception staff, there is very little to no wait time, (10 - 15 mins, tops), the Dr.'s Assistants are always competent and friendly as is the Doctor himself. Frankly, giving an entire team/staff at a business the lowest review rate possible, based upon a mere phone conversation is hardly fair, and it is in FACT an "over generalization" of Dr. Sakovits' office, that is erroneous and false. Simply because you were unhappy with one aspect of the service, hardly warrants a rant because you did not mesh well with the secretary. I'm sure many who are continuous patients of Dr. Sakovits would agree that Sonia, as well as the rest of the crew at the office. are beyond friendly and helpful. But don't take my word for it. Visit the office and see for yourself.
