i had a great experience with dr. sehgal, she is very personable and helpful. i'm more likely to…read moreget annual checkups with her due to her care. i did get the optomap retinal imaging which was super cool, and dr. sehgal went over it with me to explain everything. the process was quick, probably less than 60 seconds for both eyes, and i definitely think it's worth it to be able to access this type of technology for $39. like others, i did not expect a contact lens fitting cost, which was $80. i have been fitted for contacts in the past and have not been charged. dr. sehgal did take the time for a long fitting since it has been awhile since i've gotten my eyes checked (6 years) and my rx changed a bit, so i do appreciate her kindness and patience, i just think it should be known at the beginning of the visit. overall i had a great visit with dr. sehgal, she referred me to a lasik specialist who called 24 hours later. i really enjoyed our visit and think she's a great optometrist. amanda & other staff were very helpful and i was able to get a much needed adjustment for my current glasses in no time. i didn't find they had a good selection of frames, though. better than expected experience for an eye check-up.

The day I went in for the eye exam, I filled out the billing paperwork for the eye insurance and told them several times not to medical insurance.

Was told go upstairs and see if they could take a walk in. When I got up stairs I was met by a Kevin who told me they had no appointments and with my insurance I would still have to pay almost $250 for a basic eye exam. He said my vision insurance was out of network and I explained I had blue cross from NY. I explained I was only here for the day and did not want to drive from MA to NY on a expired license and I just needed a quick exam to renew my license. A older gentleman was there for an appointment waiting and also chimed into help and it was becoming a nightmare. The short lady, She called blue cross to confirm my benefits and the out of network policy. She went above and beyond, had me worked up and while waiting for the doctor explained to blue cross on my behalf the predicament I put myself in and instead of paying $250 I would pay 30% of the exam fee for being out of network. By the time I was ready for the doctor, the doctor was already booked and unable to see me. I ended up leaving but I wanted to make sure she got recognized for going above and beyond to help me and still maintained conversation with other patients and multi tasked like a champ. Her energy, empathy and compassion should be noted. I genuinely appreciate everything she did to try and help me out! -MB

It makes me sad to leave this review because in I think everyone who works here is very kind and…read morewell meaning, but this was such an unusual and upsetting experience that I hope can be prevented and avoided in future. I flunked my first contact application appointment and I booked a second appointment for contacts at 3:30 hesitantly, explaining I wouldn't be able to arrive until 3:40. I was assured this would be fine. I arrived at 3:40 and went into the doctors' office around 4:10/4:20. I had practiced beforehand and was able to put the contacts in (hooray!). I had an unexpectedly really hard time getting the contacts out though. After trying for a while and asking for help, my doctor Amanda Gannon told me she "didn't know what to tell me" and that if I couldn't get them out by myself or with assistance that I would have to go to the ER and have them surgically removed and that MyEyeDoctor was closing in 10 minutes. She kept telling me that I had to get the contacts out and that they were closing until I started crying. She kindly told me she would wait until I could get them off and after the pressure was taken off, I was able to take out the contacts. She told me I had "gotten myself worked up" and that I would most likely be able to put contacts in at home. I was surprised to see that I left exactly at 5, which is when MyEyeDoctor closes. I can't imagine how hard these eye doctors are working and how much they want to get home, but this is one of those experiences in healthcare that will stick with me. I appreciate the doctor giving me some extra time, but I really feel like this whole thing could have been avoided with different scheduling or with my doctor easing up when she realized I was struggling with the contacts. I did wind up getting them out in time for closing, but I was really scared and upset. Lovely front of desk people, nurses, and doctors, and I've had very positive experiences with my glasses, so perhaps this was just a bad day.

I spent over $700 out-of-pocket on a pair of glasses, and my insurance paid for the rest. Within a month a lens scratched and Advanced repalced it. Less than a year after my purchase what looked like a grain of sand became embedded in a lens. Also I noticed the red paint was starting to chip from the metal frame. I came in and immediately the person at the counter said something like sorry, we no longer carry that brand. Not understanding why that should be my problem, I asked to speak to the manager. He was pretty rude & said there was nothing that could be done about the paint and then acted like he would do me a big favor - rather than standing by his product - by replacing the lens, while trying to make me feel like this was my fault. He expalained that he had the same brand glasses and multiple children who were regularly grabbing them off his face, yet he never had a problem with these glasses. That's a great story, but I'll never return here!

Harney billed my insurance company $60 for the exam which did not even net me a new prescription. I ended up going to the optical department of my local Costco which charged a $100 fee for the exam and fitment.
