My 80-year old stepdad had his first cataract surgery this week. He was very happy with Dr. Epstein and his follow up call that evening. Also, Cheryl was extremely helpful with the pre-op instructions and so great at explaining everything! Her tips and instruction sheets made the post-op care easy to navigate. Highly reccomend! Thanks so much! read more

I waited a 50 min in the examination room for the doctor Epstein but he never showed up. I finally gave up and left

I cannot express how pleased I am with my experience having Cataract Surgery with Dr. Epstein and the Northern Connecticut Eye Associates. The office and staff are very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Appointments run on time and the office is clean and sanitized after each patient. Dr Epstein fully explains what to expect from the surgery and reviews the various muti-focal lens options and insurance coverage. The surgical center runs like clockwork. They are very friendly and make you feel relaxed. During surgery Dr. Epstein explains what is going on and the procedure is over quickly and painlessly. The aftercare is fantastic. Dr Epstein called my home the night after the surgery to check on me. Aside from being an excellent Surgeon Dr Epstein is very personable and truly cares about each patient. I was virtually blind before my surgery and now I see fantastic without wearing glasses, they truly changed my life. read more

I can't say enough about how rude the receptionists in this office are. From being rude and condensing on the phone when we called for an appointment, to the conversations overheard in the reception area. They spoke openly (and disrespectfully) about patients in appointments and other people that were on the phone. I am sure the Doctor is great but the people at the front desk can make or break an experience- I don't recommend this office based on the team at the front. read more

Reply I have been a patient of Dr. Epstein for over 10 years. He is a caring and patient doctor that will take the time to explain what is going on with your eyes. His staff are also very nice as well. I have known Cheryl for over 20 years and she always has a laugh for you. You will be we'll taken care of here and you may leave with better eyesight. read more

I have been a patient here for several years now and everyone in the office is very friendly and customer service oriented (particularly, Cheryl and Dr. Epstein). I have been wearing glasses / contacts since I was about 10 years old because of farsightedness and astigmatism. I had cataract surgery 3 months ago and opted for the new vision correction lenses, paid a bit extra, but, money well spent! The day after surgery, my vision was 20/20 in both eyes! If you are on the fence and don't want to deal with glasses or contacts anymore, go for the surgery. Dr. Epstein and team were fantastic throughout the entire process! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Epstein for many years and I have nothing but good things to say about him. He is an excellent and caring physician who has always taken the time with me. He is very professional, but yet down to earth at the same time. His office staff is tops also, and the fact that they have all been with him for so long says something about him. I haven't had cataract surgery (yet!), but I know many friends who have had surgery with him, and they all have had excellent results. Long story short: If you need an eye doctor, Dr. Epstein is who you should go to!!!! read more
