    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.

    Easy to set an appointment if you do it on your phone. Great…read moredoctor, explains what's going on all the way through the exam, so you're not left wondering. They accepted my insurance no problem and help me get glasses, with no troubles.

    Doctors are good and caring but the business model provides abysmal customer service. It's near…read moreimpossible to get a person on the phone, the prompts on the phone take you to the wrong line or to dead ends or to mailboxes that don't get checked. The absolute frustration in trying to accomplish the simplest things makes it worth looking elsewhere that has more personalized service. WIth ReFocus having bought several practices, it isn't easy.

    The Surgeon who completed my Cataract Surgeries have since retired, and this review is by no means…read moredirected towards him personally because my entire Experience with this Establishment, he was the Only Human I dealt with who displayed Empathy. This Review is not being given Emotionally because it has been in the Making since December 2025. I have confirmed with two separate Ophthalmologists (from 2 different Establishments) that my Cataract Surgeries were successfully. However, Here is what NEVER happened AFTER Surgery, I was neither given or suggested to be referred/see a Retina Specialist after making several and continuous Trips to Refocus Eye Health in Hamden, CT for either dealing with SEVERE Pain and more important my Vision was getting Worse than PRIOR to Surgeries. Each and Every Time I went to this Establishment with the above-mentioned issues/concerns I was prescribed More Drops, I was Compelled to pay the $60 Co-Pay (on 2 occasions I was actually made to wait), while the Insurance Company continued to be billed. The above came to a halt when I saw my Internist 6 weeks ago in Stamford CT. She demanded that I get see another Ophthalmologist and that's how my journey into either Recovery/Understanding what the issues are with my Eyes AFTER Cataract Surgeries. Here are the Signs that were blaring and I should have considered to NOT have Refocus Health deal with my Cataract Surgeries: Prior to Surgery I had to seat in a Financial Meeting to confirm whether or not I could have offered Co-Paying Cataract Surgeries, when I established I could and would after turning down their own Option to which I had to be Very determined (another Credit Card) then I was then given the dates of my Surgeries. 2 Days after my Surgeries upon my follow-up visit, I was asked/reminded that I still OWE a Balance, 2 weeks after Surgeries when my husband took me back to their Office as I was in immense pain, I was Seating while my Husband is dealing with the Check/In Process I was overhearing the Conversation as per Payment, to that Date I had already made the Copayment of $550 towards the first Surgery ( I had them a week in between). 4 weeks AFTER Surgery again my share of the Payment came up this time, again visiting the office under pain. This time I clearly said I am still under your Office treatment for whatever is going on with the Cataract Surgeries I have had and I am Not Co-paying anything until I know what's going on with my eyes, one of the occasions I was deliberately held up. Prior to the next round of Flare up I decided to pay the entire Bill to avoid getting into issues with this Office yet again and was also hoping by then my eyes would be OK. Here is my very Own Stubborn behavior even after my Internist referred me to another Ophthalmologist 6 weeks ago, I still chose to allow Refocus another opportunity to Make it Right/Better, and so I went to see them AGAIN, and YES this Time they again DEMANDED the Co-Pay of $60 and billed the Insurance, I asked would you mind Billing me instead of paying Upfront? Answer No we do not. Good News is I have cancelled Appointments with them and thankfully I am in a Better Place as per my Vision and Eyes. These Folks or rather this Office Refocus Health Hamden was simply accepting Copays of $60 and continued to Bill my insurance. They are NOT operating as a Medical Center as per my Opinion but rather as a Money Collecting Agency, Rest Assured I know the Bills Need to be paid and I Paid my Bill with them and the Center where the Surgeries were performed in Full and even the last visit I had with them i was again harassed to pay the Co-Pay. I do NOT wish them on my Enemies.

    Took my 91 year old mother-in-law for her eye exam. First, Gregory was outstanding;. He was so…read morekind and more than helpful as she is wheelchair bound. Kudos for making this visit as easy as he could. The office is absolutely not set up for patients in wheelchairs and we used her smaller one. The office was crowed and there is way too much furniture to comfortably navigate. The outer office waiting area does not have a wheelchair "parking" area. Now onto the eye exam . . . without Gregory, it would have been hard to complete. The equipment for the pre-exam portion is not handicap friendly. Luckily, this patient can stand for a short time. For one portion, her wheelchair wouldn't fit the area and she had to move to the chair. Now onto the actual eye exam, I knew that she would have to move to the chair but how do people who can't get out of their wheelchairs get eye exams? This really made me think and I want an answer to this? Let's discuss picking out new glasses for the wheelchair bound patients. Ugghhhhhhhhhh. There was no good spot for this either. We were in the way of everyone and there was not comfortable location for her to see in the mirror. The kind employee had to keep bring over the table mirror for her to see the glasses. Felt rushed to complete the process due to space constraint. This is not a great location for wheelchair patients.

    They have always been mediocre, but my last experience sent me over the edge. I made the mistake of…read morebooking a remote optometrist appointment at their facility. I made my desire for daily contacts known to everyone I spoke to, including the optometrist, and was given two samples of daily contacts to try out before placing my order. I placed my order on the phone, only to receive monthly contacts. When I called them to see what could be done to correct their mistake and get me the daily contacts I was under the impression I was ordering, I was dismissively told that "most people order monthly contacts" and that my only option was to book yet another appointment and pay full price again. I found the lack of any sort of willingness to correct a mistake on their end to be inexcusable. I submitted a patient relations request, but unless they send me what I ordered I will not be coming to any MyEyeDr location again.
