Dr. Karalekas is the absolute best! My family and I have seen him for eye care for years and we all have a shared opinion that he is one of the kindest healthcare providers there is. To say I highly recommend him would be an understatement.

I always have a great experience at Advanced Eye Care Associates. Dr. Karalekas is professional, thorough, knowledgeable and caring. He never makes you feel rushed, is always willing to listen and seems genuinely concerned about your vision and your overall health. Dr. K and the Advanced Eye Care staff explain every procedure, and thoroughly review all the results with you. They're always updating their equipment and seem to stay up-to-date with the latest trends in eye care. It's an extremely well-run practice.

I totally love Dr K he is Fantastic he takes his time explains everything in detail to you me . I have never left Dr K feeling like I was un happy with my care because for me it’s very important Macular Degeneration is inherited down in a long line in my family so it is vital to me to stay on track and updates with my eye care …. Dr K Keeps a very close check on everything I am extremely comfortable in his hands. Thanks so much DK

They have the latest technology and are so informative on the procedures they are doing and why. The explain things in detail and have visual aids to help process. Dr. Karalekas ALWAYS has a smile on his face and his positive vibes make the visit feel like you are visiting a friend. His recommendations are always well received as I’ve had great success. It’s scary getting older and noticing big changes to your sight so it’s refreshing to have a doctor who has your best interest at heart. After all, he wears glasses too. The whole staff is amazing and professional and fun. Also the optometrists are amazing as well. They never fail to help me find the best pair of glasses for my petite face...lol. Always a great experience when I come here.

Great service. I would definitely recommend a friend here if they ever ask. The assistant was so very understanding and helped me with whatever I am having trouble with. The doctor always makes me feel at ease. For some reason, the people managing the glass model service have been less than ideal in terms of welcoming but I will digress. Great place!!!!

Jul 31, 2020

great doctors and the personal is very friendly

Jun 18, 2020

Very professional, and kind. My only problem, I had an appointment on a particular day, actually a reschedule due to the virus. However my appointment got moved, I was not notified of the change. If I hadn't called before hand I wouldn't. Have know until I made a wasted trip. There must be an easier way to notified patients of a cancelled or reschuled appointment. Other than I have been a long time patient long before it became Advanced Eye Care.

Jun 18, 2020

courtious, professional, timely

Jun 15, 2020

Advanced Eye Care Associates truly cares about their patients. Even during these stressful times, my mind is put at ease as they are taking every precaution to ensure patient and employee safety, while still being available when in need. I'd highly recommend them!

Jun 8, 2020

I love you guys....so professional and friendly.

Mar 18, 2020

The staff was very informative and answered all my questions. Very friendly atmosphere. Dr. Karalekas was very thorough and explained the results of my exam very well. Best eye exam I’ve had in years.

I have been a patient of Dr. Steven Sikalis for upwards of 20 years. He is proficient in his knowledge while being personal, letting me know I matter.

Mar 11, 2020

I look forward to getting a thorough and complete eye exam every year. The staff is friendly, Dr. Sikalis is beyond competent and answers any and all questions I may have and I leave with the confidence that my eyes are healthy. Their equipment is new and cutting edge. Selection of frames and products is broad. We have moved out of the area, but still make ta special trip back to Advanced due to the confidence I have in them. I have never felt rushed and feel I get great value and service.

Mar 9, 2020

Feb 14, 2020

My husband I just started coming to Dr. Harney last year. My son Christopher has been coming for years and has received the best care. That is why we started coming. The care is outstanding and Dr Harney is the best. hIs demeanor and sense of humor. He is the very best

Feb 13, 2020

Dr. Harney & his staff are outstanding! I was a new patient with an eye infection, needing immediate care. They squeezed me into the schedule, diagnosed & began treatment within 1 hour of my initial call. So happy to find Advanced Eye Care!

Feb 8, 2020

I have been a patient of Dr. Harney for many years; since he practiced in Salem, N H. and followed him to the Lowell office. I feel very comfortable with his care and suggested treatment.

Feb 7, 2020

I had a great experience at AECA. Everyone there was super friendly and helpful, with the doctor really explaining everything to you it helps out, you can tell they all actually care about helping out and want to make a difference. Highly reccomend.

Feb 7, 2020

My concern with my appointment was the young lady who took care of me initially with the testing I felt she was inexperienced with taking the pictures of my eyes and another person had to come and assist, holding my eyelids open to do the test. I was not happy about the way it was done and concerned about the accuracy of the test. I have been a patient there for many years and have never had this happen before. It may be she was very new to the office. She was a very polite and a friendly young woman and I have no issues there. Dr Harney and Dave were wonderful and the staff at the desk as well.

Feb 6, 2020

Wonderful team of eye care associates!!

Feb 3, 2020

Jan 16, 2020

Staff and doctors are welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable! Have been a patient for over 25 years and counting! Thank you, Advanced Eye Care!

Jan 14, 2020

Everyone is friendly and helpful and informative.The services provided were exceptional. I left the office feeling better about the health of my eyes because the doctor took the time to explain the test that were done, why and to answer any questions I had. We have already recommended them to some of our friends.

Jan 13, 2020

Finding a good eye doctor is like trying to find a good dentist, they are a rare find. Advanced Eye Care Associates is just that a rare find. From the moment you enter the office your are greeted by a professional staff. Dr. Karalekas truly cares about your well-being. I have had some medical issues that could affect my eyesight and he addresses them in a way I can understand. Then there is the staff that helps with the selection of hrames, etc. They have an "eye" for helping you select the nicest frames. They also work within your insurance guidelines. For the best place to go I'd highly recommend Advanced Eye Care Associates.

Jan 11, 2020

very friendly, respectful and easy to talk to.

Dec 13, 2019

I called the office on my way home from work to ask for an unscheduled appointment within the hour to check a left eye issue. My call was handled promptly and professionally with the outcome for me to stop into the office for an exam. I was immediately escorted to an exam room to give basic info and within 10 minutes was being examined by Dr K. The Dr quickly determined the problem and reviewed the details of the situation with me. He described the various treatments and had a staff member call in a prescription. Great service, excellent staff, and great doctor patient experience.

They're usually on time, friendly and professional. Dr. Karalekas explains everything in great detail and I always feel as though I have a complete report on my vision

Nov 8, 2019

It was a very calming experience the staff and doctor were amazing

Nov 7, 2019

The staff is ALWAYS very courteous, knowledgeable and personable.

Nov 2, 2019

I've been seeing Dr. Harney for over 30 years. He is the best there is. The staff is also excellent.

Oct 31, 2019

I really like the staff and the doctor is wonderful.

Oct 30, 2019

Everyone at Advanced Eye Care is professional, friendly, knowledgable and makes you feel like the most important patient of the day. They are always willing to answer a million questions and they are excellent at helping to choose the right frames for your look and personality.

Oct 30, 2019

They were able to squeeze me in on short notice and the doctor was great at dealing with my multiple eye issues.

Oct 29, 2019

Thorough exam and friendly doctors and assistants.

Oct 24, 2019

Staff was really nice and my grandpa’s doctor Dr. Christopher Karalekas was wondering in helping us understand everything

Oct 19, 2019

Always feel well educated with all great equipment you have in the office. Staff as well as Doctors example what they see and what they are doing.

Oct 17, 2019

Knowledgeable, professional and pleasant staff.

Oct 16, 2019

Since becoming a patient of Dr. Sikalis he has helped me tremendously with my dry eye problem.

Oct 11, 2019

I always have a great experience here. It was very busy yesterday but I never felt rushed. The staff was on top of things and Dr. K really listened to everything I had to say.

Oct 2, 2019

Really quick and easy setting up the appointment, filling out the documents, and going through the eye exam. Doctors gave good explanations about how the eyes work, how the tools/tests work/ their purpose, and what the eye related illnesses are. Learned more here than I did in school.

Oct 2, 2019

Dr Harney and the staff are wonderful. He has been my doc for 25 years and I would not want to go anywhere else.

Sep 27, 2019

Excellent treatment and great communication ! They were all very kind and took their time explaining each procedure and the results.

Sep 15, 2019

Everyone there is so kind and helpful!

Sep 13, 2019

Best optometrist in the area in my opinion; they pay attention to your needs, visits are never rushed and they make sure you get what you need.

Sep 12, 2019

You need new chairs in front waiting room

Sep 4, 2019

i hate eye stuff (even more than the dentist) but this was by far my best experience. dr karalekas explained everything very well and helped me understand the exam and what everything meant. he even accommodated my time limitation. highly recommend!

Sep 4, 2019

Very professional and great customer service.

Aug 29, 2019

I saw Dr.Harney who was great! The staff were friendly, and informative. I did not have to wait long before I was seen, Dr.Harney came in right after the intake process, checked everything out and I was on my way. No hassle at all. The only place I go for all my eye needs.

Aug 29, 2019

Your staff were excellent,very kind.

Aug 27, 2019

6 Stars Keep up the good work.

Aug 27, 2019

Aug 7, 2019

Great support staff knowledgeable and courteous and willing to listen to your problem s did not keep people waiting The DR is fabulous and genuinely concerned

Aug 6, 2019

As usual, a fantastic experience from the moment I checked in until the time I checked out.

Aug 6, 2019

The staff was so patient with my handicapped brother. Dr. K was so amazing with him, so nice, they had some fun laughs. It was such a great experience. My brother talked about how nice everyone was and how much he liked the doctor. You can’t ask for a better experience than that!

Aug 2, 2019

People always friendly, and take emergencies very quickly...

Jul 31, 2019

Dr. Harney is a dream come true. I have been a patient of his all my life and there’s no one I would recommend more. He is patient, kind, understanding, thorough and knowledgeable-I always leave feeling I got the best possible care after every visit. His team is wonderful as well. My vision wouldn’t be the same without him! Thank you for all you do Dr. Harney!

Jul 30, 2019

Always a very pleasant visit..

Jul 29, 2019

Staff was friendly. Eye exam went smoothly and quick. Eye doctor was knowledgeable and informative. Need more sunglasses selections though. I would go back.

Jul 26, 2019

Amazing. Dr Harney is the best

Jul 24, 2019

I would go out of my way to get my eyes checked here. Everyone here is so personable. I'm so glad I found them a few years ago after a negative experience someplace else.

Jul 24, 2019

Great office, Great location, and very quick but thorough eye exams..My Dr always takes his time and explains everything to me if i have any questions. My Eyesight is very good so i never have any problems during an eye exam but i did have a piece of metal in my eye about a year ago and My doctor got it taken care of and removed the metal the same day i called to have it looked at.

Jul 22, 2019

Very helpful,excellent and professional care delivered in a warm and friendly environment

Jul 20, 2019

This was my first time I have been to this optometrist and I was very impressed with their their service and professionalism.

Jul 18, 2019

I have always felt like I am in good hands with Dr. Harney. I trust him.

Jul 18, 2019

My appointment time was 1030. I arrived 1020. I was not called until 1055. The doctor didnt come in until 1115. I realize dr offices tend to run behind but this was ridiculous.

Jul 15, 2019

My only complaint is that I had to wait over 30 minutes passed my scheduled appointment time to be seen. I arrived 15 minutes early as well, so I waited over 45 minutes total...

Jul 12, 2019

I would recommend Dr. Karalekas to everyone - and have! He is very thorough and does a wonderful job.

Jul 11, 2019

Everyone was very professional for the back of the house staff. The receptionist were very occupied with friends and there was children that were unsupervised and running around.

Jul 4, 2019

excellent customer service

Jul 1, 2019

My experience was amazing, how all the teamwork work together they way they threat patients with caring and respect. Thanks keep the good job. God bless you all.

Jun 28, 2019

I am so impressed by Advanced Eye Care Associates. The office runs so efficiently! I’ve been a patient here for several years & I never had to wait once I checked in. The front desk staff, technicians and Dr. Sikalis are friendly & knowledgeable. The equipment is of the latest technology & the doctor keeps me up to date on the most recent eye care suggestions. Any time I call with a question or concern, someone gets back to me promptly!

Jun 27, 2019

The staff was friendly and helpful to me and my son picking out glasses. Most places dont even help you pick out frames i was happy with my service.

Jun 18, 2019

It was my first time to come here and the Customer Service was so great.

Jun 13, 2019

Awesome staff! Office is super clean and the doctor was very friendly.

Jun 12, 2019

Very professional and courteous

Jun 12, 2019

Great Service and attention to my eye needs

Jun 11, 2019

I have been use to have these appointments drawn out over 4 or 5 visits, presumably to soak the insurance companies. It was a great waste of my time having to burn leave and make the trips. My only minor complaint, against the industry is that they sell 'glasses' that are not al all made of "glass". I do not have confidence that these poly-whatever constructs will be able to put up my amount of wear and tear.

May 30, 2019

The doctor was so unbelievably professional, his infectious smile and enthusiasm made me feel excited that I came and will come back again!

May 29, 2019

Dr. Christopher Karalekas is phenomenal!! He is very welcoming, nice attitude, and just makes each visit a wonderful experience. As for the other staff, you can clearly tell the office is running smooth with a customer focused attitude.

May 29, 2019

I had to get reading glasses and the woman who helped me was so great and understood what I wanted. She picked out glasses for me to try that I loved. I couldn't decide which frame i liked so she got all the girls in the front to help. I had about 6 of them helping me narrow it down. Nice place and would highly recommend. Dr. Steven Sikalis is so helpful and always takes the time with me. I don't feel rushed at all. I like that the office has the things (dry eye ointment and drops etc...) I need and I can purchase right then and there.

May 29, 2019

Excellent staff and Dr. Harney is not only extremely professional but has a great personality and warm demeanor!! Will definitely be my place of permanent eye care!!😊

May 24, 2019

I have already recommended Dr. Harney to friends and they have become loyal customers like me!

May 21, 2019

Everyone was friendly and explained everything to me an a very easy to understand way. They spent the time to answer all my questions.

May 16, 2019

I cannot say enough about Advances Eye. It is unusual that EVERYONE at an office is so receptive to patients.

May 16, 2019

Good experience, short wait time

May 11, 2019

Everybody was great from when I walked in the door.

May 10, 2019

I have never felt as confident or pleased with another office or optometrist. Dr. Karalekis is thorough and take the time to answer any and all questions. I am very happy that I found Advanced Eye Care Associates.

May 8, 2019

Very pleased with all the staff members.

May 2, 2019

Very positive experience from the front desk people, techs, and the doctor.

Apr 24, 2019

I have been a patient here for over 20 years and would like to say that the entire staff at Advanced Eye Care has always been very professional, friendly and very helpful!

Apr 19, 2019

Everyone at Advanced Eye Care that I have met has been professional and efficient, but also friendly,and welcoming. My eye exams are thorough,and all aspects have been explained completely and clearly.

Apr 17, 2019

Dr. Harney is superior and the office is efficient and friendly.

Apr 17, 2019

I feel that treatment is good, but the wait time is unacceptable to me. No matter how long in advance I make an appointment, I usually wait about an hour past my appointment time. Not sure why that is, but my feedback is to look at your appointment scheduling, and if you need to spread them out more. When I asked, I am told that the provider is running behind. I can understand that to happen occasionally, but not every time. I rush to my appointment from work to be on time, and it is not okay that I then sit in the waiting room for an hour.

Apr 16, 2019

You feel welcome as soon as you come in the door. All of the staff are very friendly and eager to help.

Apr 15, 2019

Absolutely the best and most thorough eye exam I've ever had, if you are looking for new doctor look no further.

Apr 7, 2019

Everyone here is so nice! Dr Karalekis is ALWAYS so pleasant and David Rodriguez was super helpful. He fixed the glasses I already have and helped me better understand my VSP and available options.

Apr 2, 2019

I have been going there for years, always a pleasure.

Apr 1, 2019

Staff is very friendly. Nice group of people, very fast and thorough service. Great selection of Eyeglass frames.

Mar 29, 2019

Great efficient friendly staff! Dr. Karalekas is great and very patient!

Mar 28, 2019

I have been to several eye care offices, but Advanced Eyecare was by far the best I've ever been to.

Mar 28, 2019

Amazing service very helpful and helped me figure out problems I didn’t kno I had

Mar 26, 2019

Great service and most importantly "on time"

Mar 8, 2019

Dr. Harney and staff were very attentive and thorough with their examination

Mar 6, 2019

Everyone is great and really helpful.

Mar 6, 2019

I don't think I've ever been treated so phenomenally by a team of people before! From the moment I walked in, to the second I left, I was attended by a kind, curtious, staff that just wanted to help. They explained, in detail, everything I needed to know, and if I didn't understand something, they didn't hesitate to explain it in simpler terms. They seemed genuinely concerned about my opinion and took all the time needed to find me a perfect fit for my new glasses! Needless to say I won't be going anywhere else! Thanks for being so great guys!

Mar 4, 2019

Everyone was friendly and professional

Feb 27, 2019

I have been a patient of Dr Karalekis for a very long time; he and his staff are outstanding!

Feb 20, 2019

Great place! Really cares for patients however I did have to wait a little bit, about 25 min, between the first part of the eye exam and seeing the actual doctor

Feb 20, 2019

Dr. K is the best. I had him back with Lahey Eye. All my family goes to him now. I would recommend Dr. K and the office to everone

Feb 19, 2019

very friendly staff and clean office. I loved how they have the latest technology available and Dr.Stikalis mention that they're purchasing a new machine.

Feb 14, 2019

Dr.Sykalis always takes his time with you and goes above and beyond to make sure you understand your eye health.

Feb 7, 2019

Very nice people and very happy

Feb 1, 2019

First time client and very impressed by the efficiency of the Advanced Eye Care Associates staff and professionals - all professionals! Throughout the process everyone explained what they were doing. When I met with Dr. Harney, he left no stone unturned with my eye exams and eye health. He explained things to me in a way I could understand and he has a genuine warm personality. Everyone treated me warmly. Next stop contact fitting and eye glasses, which are very affordable and if you like name brands they have quite the selection. I especially appreciate morning and evening flexibility. I'm a commuter, so evening options is a big help. Thank you! Diane C.

Jan 25, 2019

Convenient professional and thorough! Have already recommended several people

Jan 24, 2019

Dr. Harney has been caring for my son Chris for many years. Chris has received the best care. When were heard he moved, we knew we could not go anywhere else. My husband and I had our first appointment yesterday and we were thrilled with the thorough care that was provided. We are glad we are new patients and will continue for years to come

Jan 18, 2019

I feel fortunate to have been advised by a relative to go to Advanced Eye Care Associates. After my first visit over a year ago I left the office feeling more positive than I ever have after going to the eye doctor. All the staff is so helpful and courteous and actually engage in active listening which is a rarity these days. I felt like my concerns and welfare were in the best of hands.

Jan 17, 2019

I’ve been going here for years. I moved to Boston and continue the 70 mile round trip back to Lowell because they are the best.

Jan 14, 2019

This place is very professional. My daughter had her first appointment, everyone is friendly with great customer service. Excellent for adults and children.

Jan 11, 2019

As a new patient coming to a practice, I keep an eye out for a couple of things; how easy was it to register? How kind was the staff? Was I waiting a long time? How efficient was the appointment? How knowledgeable was the staff? This facility exceeded my expectations. The woman I registered with was kind and patient. Same with the woman I checked in with. Once I finished my paperwork I was called within 5 minutes. The medical assistant was kind and very knowledgeable, along with the doctor. It was a great experience overall.

Jan 8, 2019

You never try you never know.

Jan 7, 2019

The front desk staff is friendly and well versed in the various insurances accepted by the practice. This made checking in quick and easy. The medical assistance was professional and explained the different tests I was being given. Usually I am accustomed to having the doctor do these tests. The doctor himself has a personality unlike I have seen in my own medical professional career.

Jan 3, 2019

The entire staff was courteous, knowledgeable, and very helpful in looking at contacts and glasses.

Dec 14, 2018

My Review for Dr. Harney is and always has been nothing but excellent. He is thorough, very knowledgeable and is willing to take time to answer any questions and concerns I might have.

Nov 8, 2018

My appointment was handled very well.

Nov 3, 2018

I have been a patient at Advanced Eye Care for at least 10 years now and I really couldn't ask for a better experience. Dr. Christopher Karalekas is as friendly and knowledgeable as any medical professional I've ever met. I have complete trust in him and the decisions he makes. The staff is also friendly and helpful, especially Erica, the technician who administered my tests on my most recent visit. It's just a flat-out, well-run practice.

Nov 1, 2018

Everyone in the practice was very friendly and had patience with my 3 years old son.

Oct 31, 2018

Dr. Harney and staff are the best. Been with him since he was a young doctor at Leahey Eye Clinic. He's on top of the latest eye care products, technology, trends and network of other eye specialists in the area. I have complete trust in his knowledge.

Oct 30, 2018

Love how the doctors go through everything thoroughly.

Oct 18, 2018

Sep 14, 2018

Even though my office visits are once/year or even every other year, it is always a pleasant experience. Everyone is very friendly - from being greeted when walking in, the assistants who take you through the first questions and tests, to the doctor - very friendly and easy going, back to the front desk and leaving with a smile.

Sep 12, 2018

Dr Harnny is fantastic & Dave in optical is a very big help. They are a go to team

Sep 12, 2018

Very friendly, fast and efficient

Sep 6, 2018

My son and I are patients here.I was midway through my exam and told worker I was wearing contacts. She had me redo my exam after finding this out. I could not afford a $200.00 contact lense evaluation, and when the doc came in I explained that I wear daysoft contact lenses that are really cheap from Scotland. I told him it was my last pair. I asked him if I could possibly have a sample because I didn't have glasses. He did not like that I went through a contact lens company that was cheap in Scotland. He told me to keep my contact lenses in and ride it out for the next couple of days knowing I don't even have glasses. I noticed tons of samples of contact lenses that he easily could have given me if he gave any care about my eyes he would have given me a sample like eye doctors in the past have simply been able to do. They actually care about their clients eyesight. I asked him 3 times and he shuffled me out of the room while I waited to be evaluated for a coworker that was very friendly, email, that picked out a nice pair of glasses for me. I don't understand why he couldn't have just said no I cannot give you a sample of contact lenses because you might be a liability. But I don't think that was the case, and the next time I go to an eye doctor it's not going to be this one. I've been waiting a week for my glasses and I still have the old contact lenses in my eyes.

Aug 31, 2018

Dr. Steven Sikalis is extremely personable and proficient in his field. There are many choices in eye care but Steve is one of the good guys.

Aug 29, 2018

Love this place! After going thru a horrible doctor that didnt care, this place took such great care of me. Place is clean and organized, staff and doctor was super friendly!

Aug 28, 2018

I've been with Dr. Harney since he was with Lahey Clinic. They don't come better. Also a great staff -- Dave, Jeri, etc. I have recommended Advanced to several family members, friends and co-workers.

Aug 28, 2018

Very impressed with the technology and thoroughness of the exam. Dr. Sikalis did a great job explaining my options for new lenses. Glasses department was very nice as well with a large selection of frames.
