He came highly…read morerecommended by my Optometrist who had his eyes cataracts removed by Dr Stein and assured me he was the best in the state. He answered all my questions, and concurred with the assessment of my optometrist who said I have Cataracs right in the middle of my vision. He was able to explain the different options of treatment in a way that I could easily understand and assured me that he does 35 to 40 procedures in one day. He does surgery on Thursdays each week. His staff was always very nice and professional. When I went in to get my surgery, we were stacked up like sausages on our beds all in a row. Lol! And the nurses were really wonderful. I felt taken care of and confident that I was in the right hands.

Dr. Jonathan Stein has to be the most miserable, jaded, cynical, know-it-all and opinionated doctor…read moreI ever have had the deepest displeasure of knowing. He is impatient, rude, arrogant, unwelcoming, takes sub zero time to explain surgery, surgery plan. Can't remember discussions of prior visits over mission critical pre and post surgical details. He gossips behind patients backs within ear shot with his own staff. Completely unprofessional. Surgically, he is very rough. He seems to have contempt for his patients. Why he is in this field of medicine is beyond my comprehension. He has absolutely no bed side manner. You will walk out far more confused then when you went in. Because of his lack of explanation alone, is enough to avoid this doctor. These are your eyes. Don't let him touch them. There are far better, more experienced, and compassionate surgeons to be found. Please look elsewhere.

Five stars is only a beginning. The staff at OCC are the absolute best. We have been coming to…read moreOCC. for about 5 years, and the desk staff have never been anything but great. If anyone ever tells you that Dr. Thimons is the doctor to see for your eye issues, don't play around. This is by far the most caring Doctor I've ever met. My wife had starting having issues with dry eye, and eye infections. At one point she had a scratch on her eye, that again, got infected, and was not only painful, but it was interfering with her vision. The infection was not responding to normal treatment, and she is allergic to the most commonly used medication for eye infections. Our eye doctor recommended we see Dr. Thimons, who's office is on the other end of the state from us. 1. Eyes are too important to be cheap about, and 2. We are not opposed to traveling. We met Dr. Thimons and his personality was a instant match. He was able to tell us what was going on with the eye, and what he wanted to do in language we could easily understand and at no time did we ever feel he was talking down to us, nor did it even feel like he was dumbing it down. He was matter of fact, direct and had a very comforting manner about him. Things didn't go too well, and her vision was deteriating, and even though we were all but panicking, Dr. Thimons remained calm, and mentioned options to us, and consulted with another doctor, Dr. Stein, and came up with a potential solution. At one point, Dr. Stein stitched a membrain into my wife's eyeball, and sealed her eyelid, as the eye movement, even with a patch was irritating the scratch, preventing it from healing. During the treatments, the doctors had been mentioning her cataracts, but predicted 5 years or so before they would need attention (surgery). The eye finally healed, and the infection was gone. Nothing to do now but follow-up appointments every 6 months with Dr. Thimons. After 3 or 4 such appointments, my wife mentioned that she felt it was getting more difficult seeing, and it was like looking through sheer curtains. Dr. Thimons showed me through the scope, what was going on, and her cornea was pretty much gray. The eye that had the ulcer, scratch and infection now had scar tissue right in her field of vision. It was decided that she needed to have the cataract surgery sooner, rather then later. At this point, her left eyes vision was so bad that she could not make out the large E on the vision chart, basically 20/250, or blind. Dr. Stein did the surgeries, 2 weeks between each eye. After the second surgery, her right eye is at 20/20 with no glasses or contacts, and her left is 20/25, again, no glasses or contacts. The surgery was performed at NEWVISION CATARACT CENTER in Norwalk. Another great place. Basically, Drs Thimons and Stein saved my wife's eye, and totally restored her vision. She has been wearing glasses or contacts since I met her in 1976. Today, she wears neither, and she is so excited at how well she can see, she gets giddy. Since we started seeing Drs Thimons and Stein, we have moved. It now takes 2 hours to get to their closest office, and nearly 3 hours to get to the Fairfield office, and it's well worth the trip. The only issue now is, her remembering she doesn't need to put on her glasses when she gets up every morning.

Nothing has changed but the name. I've been seeing (pardon the pun) Dr. Ryan for about 10 years now, and have long since come to be extremely confident in her as a physician. I've always been overly sensitive about having anything anywhere near my eyes (contacts are out of the question for me), but have largely overcome those apprehensions under her care.

As much as I see the convenience of getting my prescription lenses filled at the same location as your doctor, the business hours they offer are limited. I try to keep time off from work to a minimum, and there are so many other options in the optical field that have at least one late weekday night, and Saturday hours as well.

Absolutely worst care. My 37 yr old son died as they played games. No CPR enroute in the ambulance,…read moreno CPR going into the ER room, then excuses they didn't have the right size needle to administer EPI in a timely manner. His heart stopped in the ambulance, untrained, unprofessional attendants and it is clearly in the records. They said it was Covid which was not true. He was clear, no COVID test taken. He did not regain consciousness because they vented him and had all paralytics and pain meds. Needless to say as they figured which hospital would get the govt incentive they killed him. Never saw a cardiologist after transfer to New Britain. I could not transfer him. They gave false info to New Britain hospital. I was warned by LifeStar that things were not good and different.
