Now that Drs Mooney and Bettencourt have retired, Dr Quang is the only doctor...if you can get a…read morereasonable appointment. Routine eye exams are usually three, sometimes four months out. Other places I have called can get you in about a month, month and a half which is what I would expect. Dr Quang is very nice and I have seen him the last few years, but I have reservations. I was having issues reading with single Rx contacts which I use for distance. Without contacts or glasses I can read well. He saw my issue as: middle-aged, "can't read with contacts made for distance", must be presbyopia. He suggested multifocal contacts (MFCs). They were awful. Double vision, can't focus, unclear vision near or far. Rx was tweaked and new brand tried. Same issues but not as intense. After about two months wearing them everyday, my eyes and brain adjusted but the MFCs still weren't great. In late 2024 I went in for my annual. Rx changed very slightly as always and an Optoscan showed no issues. I raised my concerns about the MFCs and restated that I can read well without eyewear; distance is more my concern, but I want to use contacts. Single Rx contacts for distance are great, but they don't do well for close distance hence MFCs. I wasn't sold MFCs are the solution for me. When I proved to him I can read without eye wear/contacts, he seemed to be out of options since the middle-aged, "can't read with contacts made for distance", must be presbyopia box didn't fit me. He referred me to an ophthalmologist in Worcester which ended up being a terrible experience (long story). I left there with the resolution of: "It's the MFCs. They are awful." I decided to research a different eye care provider rather than go back to Leominster Family Eyecare (the new name) given it takes forever to get an appointment and the quality of care isn't as high as it used to be.

Unfortunately the floor was coming up towards me and I could not see with the new script. The person who fit me to a frame said the glasses were fine.

Dr. Christian E. Iyore with Valentine Eye Care had treated me in the past, then again during the…read moresummer of 2024. I was there to get a simple eye exam and a prescription for my eyeglasses. Dr. Iyore wanted to talk about dry eye treatment and he used all my appointment time to push his agenda. I signed a form saying no to the $39 dry eye scan and he ended up running this anyway. Dr. Iyore said he wasn't going to charge me - as though that made it alright. I left this appointment so confused about whether I needed progressives or reading glasses. My health insurance provided me coverage for up to six visits. I made a follow up appointment and specifically asked to speak with Dr. Iyore about my eyeglass rx. I arrived and was informed that since I wasn't there for dry eye treatment, the staff could help me. Dr. Iyore actually gave me a small wave while this conversation was happening in the lobby. I did not wave back! His staff wasn't helpful. I was about to start a new job so I would have bought whatever eyeglasses I needed and multiple pairs, regardless of insurance. I made an appointment with Dr. Valentine on 8/23/2024, hoping to ask questions and leave with a better feeling. I had met him once before and thought that would help. But he was cross, impatient and rude. He was so rude. He prescribed me bifocals, which the office never bothered to order. Like Dr. Iyore, Dr. Valentine just wanted me to sign up for the dry eye treatment. All I wanted was to feel good about my eyeglasses. As it stands, I don't have the right combination of glasses and my eyes hurt. I spent a lot of time trying to get their help. Altogether, I drove to their office for three appointments. Before that, I drove over another time because they didn't have my insurance in place. I would try another office. This office thinks they know what they're doing and they might if they listened to patients. They are too focused on their dry eye treatment. They also think their staff is capable of tending to technical patient questions and that's not always true. It's easier to help your patients and that comes from connecting and repeating things sometimes. I hope another office moves in the Leominster area.

I had two appointments here and switched eye doctors afterwards. I made my initial appointment…read moreafter my insurance changed and I needed a new eye dr. Dr Casey is very nice but the office is in sort of a time warp - there is not very much new technology available and it seems they most of the clients (at least when I was there) were aging and probably not concerned about the lack of technology. I had to come back a second time to get my eyes dilated because the office doesn't have the technology to take a picture of your eye (not sure what it's called, but I had been doing it for years at my previous doctor). They also did not have the technology to fit new lenses into your glasses in the office, they were still measuring your frames and sending them out (haven't seen that done in maybe 5-7 years?). The only person who could do that was out of the office and no one seemed to know when he or she was coming back either time I was there. The second time I went to the office, to get my eyes dilated, I asked for my records from them (basically my records from the first visit) and the front desk gave me a hard time for wanting my own copy. I also do want to mention that I did need to get the prescription Dr Casey gave me adjusted because it as making me dizzy. I do NOT blame him for this because I did sit in the chair and say I thought it looked right to me, but it the end the axis wasn't correcting my astigmatism and I had to get a new prescription. I've been a glasses wearer for 20+ years and this has never happened to me before. Odd enough to mention, but again I don't think this was an error on the doctor's part. Again, everyone was very nice but the office is very slow moving and most of the technology i was used to from my old eye doctor was unavailable and that made my experience sub-par. It seemed like it would take several visits to the office to get new glasses.

You know the Stones lyrics, "You can't always get what you want ... You get what you need"?…read more My experience here was the opposite. I got what I asked for - an evening appointment, a quick exam, and renewal of my longstanding contact lens prescription without a contact lens fitting fee or followup appointment required. But I didn't get what I needed - a complete exam to check the health of my eyes. I forgot to bring my glasses and instead of being offered options (wait X amount of time before putting your lenses in and driving home, or call for a ride, or reschedule) my eyes were not dilated and my retina not examined. Despite this cursory 10 minute exam I was told I didn't need to come back for two years. The place is a hole in the wall with no good place to take out my lenses. I was made to wear a mask but the office manager did not. Most disconcerting is that they wanted me to sign that I received their privacy policy without giving it to me. I insisted on seeing it and was shocked to read that without even telling me they could release my information to the national security establishment, foreign policy officials, and others. I asked about that and was told, "We would tell you first." I then read the language on the form to them stating the opposite and checked a box that I did not agree to this and opted out of it. I just wanted a routine eye exam. Why does the deep state have to start monitoring me? This place is truly frightful! If you don't care about your privacy this practice may work for you.
