Dr. Higgins took the time to explain all of the tests and aspects of my eye health. She seemed to appreciate my level of enthusiasm.

Very patient with my indecision in selecting the best frames for me, he listened well and suggested a pair of frames that were perfect!! Reasonably priced, rugged and lightweight. I recommend this practice if you are in the area. My husband and I have had consistently great experience with Dr. Higgins and Rich for the past several years.

I asked if they were sure they did it right and they responded with a very curt 'I know how to do my job' I got a more recent eye exam at a different place and they confirmed my PD measurement never changed and that the people at Casco Bay had botched the measurement purposely because I wasn't buying their glasses.

Bought pair of Zeiss sunglass progressive lenses for an existing Rayban frame 10 days ago .. told…read moreTim I specifically needed lens color that would help me pick up the golf ball better against the sky .. he talked me into brown with yellow tint to pick up shadows and land slope and the like .. well, that was all well and good for looking at the land, but it turns out that the yellow tint also makes the sky the color of weak chicken noodle soup that is impossible to assist in picking up the flight of the golf ball, which is what I stressed up front was my major concern that I was looking to solve .. keeping the new lenses anyway since they are useful otherwise, but not what I wanted .. so minus one star .. then went back a week ago and ordered new pair of Rayban metal frames and Zeiss brown photochromatic progressive lenses to also use for golf .. the particular Rayban frame selected had spring wrap loop ends on the temples that wrapped completely around the back of my ears and were super comfortable to wear without slipping during athletics .. specifically wanted these frames and not one with straight temple pieces and made a big point during ordering how much I liked the loop wraps around the back of my ears .. so the glasses I got in yesterday had straight temple pieces anyway .. having waited a week for the glasses to be made and then driven an hour just to get down to the shop for pickup, it was way annoying to have these folks try to palm off a frame that I did not even want or order .. the fellow who helps Tim out front, when I pointed out that these were not the frames I ordered only said "Oh, is that a problem?" .. no other concern, really, except offering to order in the correct temple pieces that would take a week to get there and mean I had to drive back to the shop again on my own dime .. when I asked him whether the frame that I tried on and that they used for fitting to my specifications for ordering was still in the shop, he said they were no longer there and that they must have been sold to someone else who wanted them really badly right away .. begs the question that I had them on my face when the new glasses were ordered and my measurements taken .. so why weren't the frames I tried on and made a point of noting how much I liked the ear wraps on the temples set aside for my order instead of ordering something that I did not want or ask for that came with straight temple pieces? .. go figure .. this particular fellow was less than helpful and I thought his behavior bordered on indifference to the wrong frames being ordered when they had what I wanted right there in their hands when I made the order .. I cancelled this order and got a refund and now have to go find something someplace else .. minus two stars for this ..

From the moment I walked in, the office had a calm and welcoming vibe--clean, modern, and comfortable. The front desk staff greeted me right away and were incredibly friendly and efficient with check-in. Dr. K is truly exceptional. He took his time during my exam, explained everything clearly, and made sure I understood each step. He has a warm, personable way of interacting that instantly puts you at ease. I felt genuinely cared for and never rushed, which is something I really value in a healthcare setting. The technology they use is impressive, and the staff walked me through each test so I always knew what to expect. When it came time to pick out eyewear, the optical team was just as patient and helpful, offering suggestions without any pressure. They really helped me find frames that fit both my style and my needs. Overall, Harbor View Eyecare delivers top-tier service in a professional, friendly, and comfortable environment. I left feeling confident in my eye health and very grateful for such a positive experience. Highly recommend!

This place infuriates me…read more The last two/three times I've gone to them, had my contact exam, and ordered contacts, I've been very low on contacts and let them know this. I also haven't had a car. So, I pay an additional $9 on top of the crazy contact cost to have them shipped to me. Every single time they've told me to expect them to get to me in 4-5 business days. And every single time, it's two weeks later, I'm out of contacts, and I don't have them yet. The first time I called asking, they said whoops, they've been sitting here for a week and a half. They finally shipped them and I got them a couple days later. This time, it's been 15 days. I called at day 13 asking what was up. They put me on hold, then straight up lied to me and said they were out for delivery and would be there in a few hours. Two days later and they're nowhere to be found. No updates. I'm paying $9 for shipping and the contacts sit there for weeks until you literally call them and ask what's up. Now I'm out of contacts, and very frustrated. I know this is basic, but what the f***? These are my eyes! And these contacts cost an arm and a leg!!!! Do better plz. Sorry

Love BEC. Convenient location, great service, vast glasses and sunglasses selection and quick…read moreturnaround for glasses. I know everyone loves their online glasses retailers and trying on it home can be convenient but I'm not a fan and prefer to purchase glasses in person. Largely because I'm very particular regarding initial adjustments when you get new glasses. I always feel new glasses will fall off my face and nine times out of 10 they're crooked. The glasses themselves might not be crooked, its probably me but nonetheless the situation needs attention. I wasn't sure what to expect going into my appointment because of covid. All the rooms were sanitized and I felt totally comfortable. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to try on glasses but they have a nice system where any glasses you try on, that you don't want, you put in a certain basket and they sanitize them. I'll be ordering a new pair very soon.

However, the TECH or medical assistant (blonde lady) that attempted to obtain my intake/triage information, had the most sour attitude and nasty disposition that I have encountered in a long time. I have never in my life, walked out of a doctors appointment. After she started reprimanding me and about her third snarky comment, I had to stand up, tell her this would not be a good fit and walked out. I noticed the general patient population of the this office were quite elderly. I would be horrified if anybody spoke to my grandparents this way. I would literally prefer to go blind, then interact with that woman ever again in my life.

Overall (and according to friends) this seems to be a great practice with caring staff…read more Unfortunately, when I urgently needed an appointment, I was assigned to Dr. Mark Marotto and felt patronized to the point of disrespect. Additionally, he almost overcharged me for services that I'd specifically not wanted. The practice has friendly, professional staff at the desk, and the assistant who settled me in was wonderful. When Dr. Marotto entered, though, he began to put drops in my eyes without asking or explaining what he was doing. When I explained that I was concerned about my severe allergy to a certain chemical in a particular kind of drops, he scoffed at me. Once Dr. Marotto looked at my swollen eyelid and told me how to care for it, he then proceeded to conduct an entire eye exam (quoted billing charge: $250) on me __without my consent__. (I thought he was thoroughly checking my eyelid; the exam was not nearly as comprehensive or as careful as I've received elsewhere.) Fortunately, I'd already told the front desk that I was not there for an exam, and wouldn't pay for one -- but when I told Dr. Marotto that, he suggested that it was my fault because "you asked questions." (I did: about three.) I'm still a bit bewildered by why I was treated this way. I don't expect every physician to click with every patient, but I do believe that, regardless of their field, our health care providers should: 1. tell/ask us before they apply chemicals to our eyes (or anywhere) 2. honor patients' requests to avoid costly and unnecessary procedures 3. encourage questions, rather than blaming patients for wanting to understand what's wrong with them.
