I had a terrible experience at this office. After my eye exam on October 14th, I waited almost a month with no communication about my glasses and had to call about 20 times myself. No one ever called me back. When I finally got answers—only because I kept pushing—I learned that my glasses had been signed for before the office opened by an unknown person and were lost. I was also told the office has no tracking system for glasses at all, meaning they have no way to know which patients are still waiting for their orders. Trying to speak with anyone in authority was impossible. I had to wait over a week just to attempt to speak with a manager, doctor, or supervisor because I was repeatedly told none were available and that the only two people with authority were on vacation. Staff constantly contradicted one another, and Olha even refused to give me her name at first when I asked for documentation. Later, Jesse falsely claimed the delay was due to my “strong prescription,” even though I had already been told the real issue was the lost package. I had already paid for my eye exam and asked for a refund only for the glasses, since I no longer wanted them due to the unprofessional experience. Despite that, Jesse refused to refund the portion I paid for the glasses, even after I made it clear I did not want them anymore. When I asked for my prescription, they then refused to release it unless I paid the remaining balance—despite this violating the FTC Eyeglass Rule. I felt pressured to pay just to receive something I was legally entitled to. To make matters worse, there were children under five sitting at the front desk near patient paperwork, adding to the unprofessional environment. Overall, this office had no tracking system, lost my glasses, gave no communication, repeatedly contradicted themselves, refused refunds, withheld my prescription, and provided an extremely unprofessional environment. I would not recommend this office to anyone. I urge you to spend your money elsewhere and save yourself the hassle.

The front desk staff are horrible to me, I asked them to mail it to me twice because I moved. they denied me my prescription for a year and finally gave it to me today a few days after it expired. I’m very upset!
I had to switch from another eye dr and found New England Eye Care. From making the initial appointment to forgetting my prescription at the counter after my appointment I had a great experience! The staff is friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and have an extraordinary willingness to help. The Dr I saw was very patient, thorough, explained everything well, and LISTENED. I’m very glad that I switched!!! I do like a broader selection of frames though. They have a decent selection but I’m sort of a frame junkie lol
My two boys had an appointment for their yearly exam. This was our first time here and it was wonderful. The staff was very friendly and accommodating from the moment we entered to the moment we left. The doctor was knowledgeable and professional, he made sure my boys knew exactly what was happening during their exams. The place was clean and the chairs were placed at a safe distance. They had good inventory of glasses to choose from and my son loves his glasses. He can’t wait to wear them. I recommend them. Thank you New England Eye Care.
Cynthia was great. She had so much acknowledgment on every situation including reaching out to other eye doctors to get my mother a prescription. The doctor was excellent explained everything from the beginning to the end and my whole family receive their classes within a week I recommend them to anyone and they did not discriminate against Husky
