The last place I went to, years ago, nearer my home in Westminster, featured an aging German couple who started out lacking any sense of customer service, and degenerated into outright hostility when it came down to working with insurance. So, having no clue where to start ... I walked into an "optician" shop not too far from downtown Frederick - and they only did glasses, but said they'd made plenty of referrals and got back plenty of raves for the eye exam by Dr. John. Sure enough, Dr. John not only gave me the exam, he gave full explanation of everything he was doing, including checks for health issues not directly related to vision (did you know they can spot early indications of diabetes, MS, kidney issues, and more from an eye exam??). Dr. John also answered lots of questions and worked through various scenarios on how I'd actually use the glasses (e.g. computer screen, skiing, whatever), to come up with a good solution. Plus it's no fuss - the exam fee includes all my follow up visits while I'm trying out some contacts. Recommended.

Thurmont Eye Care lives up to all of these expectations. Dr. Carren is very thorough with her exams and took the time to answer all questions. She explained the mechanics of the testing procedures and shared the results. The staff at Thurmont Eye Care did not dissappoint either. They were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They did not rush my decision of choosing frames and offered insightful advice that I would never thing about. (I appreciate the personalized time because glasses are a full time accessory on your face! If you don't like them, you can't hide or adjust like you can with a wrong haircut or makeup.) I loved the service and loved this place and started recomending it immediately (as in as soon as I got home and talked to my family about my appointment.... how often is that the first thing you talk about when you walk in the door?)

I went in again and there was this one lady at the front desk who was extremely rude and unprofessional. When I approached the front desk to request a printout of my contact lens prescription as suggested by Dr. Rubin, she insisted I had to pay for both a contact lens exam and a glasses exam, even though I hadn't requested a glasses exam, and my glasses prescription was still valid from four months ago. I paid, but requested explanations. Despite explaining my insurance coverage and situation, she remained adamant, refusing to listen and even declined to provide my prescription print out, citing distraction from billing inquiries. She then callously added, "You contact your insurance. If nothing else I can help you. You can be out of here." When I suggested Dr. Rubin come out to explain, the lady at the front desk callously retorted, "Dr. Rubin doesn't own the business. It is what it is; you have to pay for two exams." This further added to my disappointment and frustration, as it seemed to dismiss my concerns entirely. Feeling frustrated and disappointed, I requested Dr. Rubin's presence myself, and he and another front desk staff member clarified the billing procedure and explained changes in my insurance policy. Despite this, I still questioned the necessity of double exams, especially given the recent glasses exam. While Dr. Rubin is excellent, the behavior of one team member left me feeling disrespected and dismissed, tarnishing the overall experience.

From the second I walked in, everything felt next-level: the staff was incredibly welcoming, the office was spotless and modern, and the entire visit ran like a perfectly tuned machine. But the real MVP of this experience was Ashlyn. I cannot say enough good things about her. She didn't just provide great service--she completely elevated the entire visit. She was unbelievably kind, insanely knowledgeable, and made me feel like I was the most important patient there. She explained everything in a way that actually made sense (which is rare), answered every question with patience, and somehow made an eye exam feel like a VIP experience. You can tell she genuinely cares about what she does and takes pride in making sure everything is perfect. That level of attention and professionalism is hard to find anywhere, let alone at a doctor's office. The doctor was also fantastic--thorough, efficient, and took the time to make sure I understood everything about my eye health. I walked out feeling confident, taken care of, and honestly a little blown away by how great the whole experience was. I don't usually write reviews, but this place absolutely deserves it. If you're looking for an eye doctor, stop searching--this is the one. And if you get the chance to work with Ashlyn, consider yourself lucky.
