StarStarStarNo StarNo Star Waiting an hour past appointment time —    (Patient since 2014)

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.

Andrea, our records show you called a few days prior to your appointment. Since the nature of your call indicated a medical emergency we offered a time that same day on which we had an opening. You were unable to take an appointment that day so we did our best to accommodate your schedule and thus fit you in when at a time which was more convenient for you. We will always accept a patient in need of medical attention and at the same time try to schedule an appointment which is the least disruptive to our schedule in an effort to ensure that particular doctor stays on time. Patients often are unable to accept what we offer despite the nature of their emergency so we will occasionally fit them in along side another patient which will typically cause a delay in the doctor's schedule. We apologize if that was not communicated to you at the time of your call.

StarStarStarStarStar BEST eye care EVER  —    (Patient since 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!

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.

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


StarStarStarStarStar Highly recommend Advanced Eye Care Associates —    (Patient since 2017)

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.

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.

The doctor himself has a personality unlike I have seen in my own medical professional career.

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.

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.

Hi Robin. We do our best to screen patients during the appointment scheduling process to find out if they are contact lens wearers. The pre-exam process is different for those who are and are not. In your response you mentioned that it is a liability for a practice to give out contacts without doing a contact lens exam. That is exactly right and the doctor should have explained that to you clearly. In fact this is a MA state law that contacts are treated exactly like a prescribed medication. All optometry practices have a separate fee for a contact lens evaluation because it is considered a choice to wear them instead of glasses and not a necessity for the patient to have (which is why insurance companies generally do not cover it). Those fees will of course differ. We will often give patients trials until they can come in for an evaluation; if they are current contact lens wearers and have been prescribed lenses by our doctors in the past. However there was no contact lens prescription on file for you from any previous visit so this option was not possible. As far as glasses are concerned we can generally turn around a purchased pair in one to two days, as we are controlling the manufacturing process. If the glasses are processed through insurance then we have no control over the time it takes for the glasses to be made.

I just had the most professional eye exam by Dr. Chris Karalekos that I have ever had in my life. I was so impressed by the cheery welcome, the technician who had served our country in the Air Force, and the very clean examining room and procedures where everything was wiped down carefully between patients. They have the most modern technology. No longer do we get drops to numb our eyes because they have scanners. You have me for life!!!

The nurse who prepped me to meet the doctor, the doctor who saw me, and the guy who helped me pick up my prescription glasses were all wonderful. I suggest people should just try them even if you already have an eye doctor. Soon as I left the office I recommended it to a friend who already had an eye doctor. My friend has already called for an appointment to be seen.

StarStarStarStarStar  —    (Patient since 2010)

I have been a patient of Dr. Harney for over 20 years. A few years ago we worked with me over the course of 1 year to find contact lenses which allow me to see near and far. His diligence paid off. Even with a prospective move from the area, I plan on coming back to see Dr. Harney.


StarStarStarStarStar  —    (Patient since 2017)

Aside from an issue with a last minute appointment change by staff, everything went very well.


StarStarStarStarStar Emergency visit —    (Patient since 2018)

I work in the plaza and they were able to fit me in on an emergency basis due to an eye injury. They got me in right away and Dr. Harney was more thorough during his emergency exam than my previous eye doctor was during my annual eye exams. Once this eye issue settles down I am planning on scheduling an appointment for a new patient visit. I am very appreciative of the office working with my schedule and fitting me in so I can get this issue resolved. Thanks!

Dr, Karalekas is wonderful, very attentive and informative. The eye technicians are very professional, friendly, and helpful as well. However I did spend an hour and a half there including half an hour waiting for my appointment which was just a yearly contact fitting/appointment. I dont like how they brought me in to do a few tests, made m go back to the waiting room, a few more tests, then into the Drs office to wait more.

Hi Samantha. We apologize for the delay. Occasionally we do have unforeseen circumstances such as emergencies that can cause the doctor to get behind. We do our best to keep patients informed of any set backs so they may have the opportunity to reschedule if they desire. I'm sorry if we did not keep you up to date during your visit.

While we do have staff members that speak many different languages including Khmer, Spanish and Portugese, they are staffed to handle specific job duties and are not here to provide translation services. We do try to accommodate patients to the best of our ability in this regard, but we do highly recommend bringing a family member or friend to the appointment if language communication is a concern.

StarStarStarStarStar Professional and friendly team —    (Patient since 2017)

Loved my visit. Firstly, let me start by saying that I found Advance Eye Care Associates thanks to the many online positive reviews. My eyesight has been off for years. I have seen several neuro optimologist and have had many expensive tests done. I was concerned about going to any eye doctor. Fast forward, Dr. Christopher Karalekas and his team performed extensive tests using the latest technology. With a smile and great energy, he explained each test and my results in lament terms and I actually understood it. The end result was that I needed new glasses to address my astigmatism and tear drops for my dry eyes. I was so happy to see again.

The staff was warm and welcoming. Very nice office. I felt that Dr. Christopher K. gave me the most thorough eye exam I have ever had and will definitely be returning for future eye appointments.


StarNo StarNo StarNo StarNo Star Charged for non-existent service —    (Patient since 2016)

The doctor performed a routine yearly eye checkup, with all the hallmarks of a routine eye exam - basic vision test, pictures of the eye, etc. However, the office charged me $95 because they classified it as a "contact lens exam." There was absolutely nothing different in the exam from a routine eye appointment, but they charged me nearly $100 for a completely nonexistent service; when I asked the front desk agent how my appointment was different from a standard $10 co-pay eye exam, she literally had no answer. I will likely be switching providers because of this, especially because they require this $95 checkup every year just to re-order contacts.


Reply

Nathaniel, We apologize for the lack of communication. The contact lens portion of the exam is always a separate charge no matter where you go for eye care, although fees may vary. This is because it is an additional service provided by the doctor. He must evaluate your vision, the fit of the contact lens and the health of your eye. These services are required by the doctors in order to write a prescription for contacts. It is also required each year for contact lens patients. The yearly requirement is because contact lenses are considered a medical device and treated much like a written prescription for medicine at the pharmacy. Unfortunately most insurances do not provide coverage because contact lens wear is considered to be elective and not necessary for vision correction unlike glasses. Occasionally contact lens wear can be considered medically necessary, but requires a specific medical diagnosis due to a medical condition.

I actually enjoy my eye appointments. Advanced Eye Care invests in their business and has cutting edge screening equipment. I am confident my eye health is being properly evaluated.

We apologize for your wait. We understand that your time is valuable.

We promise that, although your appointment was delayed, the doctor provided a thorough examination upon meeting with you. Rest assure that if you or anyone of our patients found themselves to be in an emergency situation immediate action would have been taken and an timely exam would be scheduled to accommodate you.

I found your office when I worked at the Cross Point Towers (right across the street), so it was convenient at first. But I had also recently had some trouble finding a good eye doctor, and had some bad experiences so I was skeptical. Dr. Karalekas is the best! He is the main reason that I love that place. About seven years ago my work office moved from Lowell Cross Point to a building in Waltham (and I live in Shirley) my point being Lowell is not super convenient for me, but I refuse to find another Dr. because I really love Advanced Eye Care!!

Ive been going here now for about 4 years or so. My girlfriend had recommended them to me when my primary care physician had mentioned i should have my eyes checked on a regular basis (which i had never done.. Ever). So i went to Advance eye care to get checked out and everything was pretty much OK but its nice to know for sure there are no underlying issue. I go get checked every year just to see if anything has changed. They are very efficient in the office and the Exam takes no time at all. I would and do recommend this office to anyone who need their vision checked.

Staff is always very polite & friendly. Dr. Karalekas always takes the time to show you results of tests and explains them in a way very easy to understand. I never feel rushed, nor that my time is being wasted. Also a very helpful staff when ordering glasses (especially being the first time I've needed them). Highly recommended!

Dr. K is wonderful! He was able to make my son's first eye appointment fun and exciting. My boy is actually thrilled to get his new glasses. Thank you Dr. K!


StarStarStarStarStar  —    (Patient since 2010)

Hi! I cannot say a negative thing about AECA. From the front desk staff to the techs to Dr. Harney, service and care is excellent. I feel welcome when I arrive, I feel the tech staff is well-versed in the field, and Dr. Harney is likely the most dedicated eye care professional in the business. I drive nearly an hour from Salem, MA for my visits, and despite my frustration with traffic, the effort is worth it! thank you all for your kindness, professionalism and dedication. -Lisa Cammarata

It is always a pleasure to visit with Dr. K. He gives us so much of his time and explains everything in detail so when we leave we understand everything that he said. Cookie is pretty good to visit with as well. She always wears a bright smile. Diana and Ed Perry

Great friendly staff, and physician.


StarStarStarStarStar First Class Optical Care —    (Patient since 2012)

Recently I've been dealing with some neck issues, and frustrating doctor visits - lack of attention, being rushed in and out, etc... This is absolutely NOT the case at Advanced Eye Care. Dr. Karalekas spent a great deal time with me, actually listening to how my neck issues were affecting everyday tasks such as working on the computer and reading. He took the time to determine a better prescription for reading glasses, and went the extra effort to adjust my current glasses so I'm not straining my neck. The staff and physicians truly care about the patients - their professionalism is truly appreciated.


StarStarStarStarStar Excellent Eye Care —    (Patient since 2017)

A friend of ours in Stow recommended Dr. Harney to us. I was a bit reluctant to travel to Lowell but it was well worth the extra drive. Dr. Harney is excellent; he obviously enjoys his work and takes time to explain every detail to you. The equipment in the office is state-of-the-art, critical to me as eye diseases run in my family. Really positive experience!

Courteous greetings from front desk. Health questionnaire requested right away. Optical technicians do most of the basic screening including acuity and computer retinal pictures/scans. Dr Sikalis is very friendly and knowledgeable and willing to answer all questions. Sign out was fast and efficient. Would highly recommend.

The experience I had yesterday was very thorough. Dr. K. was great at explaining everything going on with my eyes. His excitement about all of it was contagious! Everyone was so pleasant, I've already recommended the office to family.


StarStarStarStarStar  —    (Patient since 2014)

My only complaint is that I felt pressured by the "add on" products and services offered. That is when I did not feel like I was being listened to. It was also very vague as to what I would actually be paying for the add ons - I wasn't told what they would cost, just that they were being "recommended". In the end the only way I knew what I was paying for was to see the printed invoice - and they were not able to print one for me at the time due to some computer glitch, so I still don't know what I am paying for. The eye care is fabulous, so I will be staying for that in spite of the pressure, but I still don't like it.


StarStarStarStarStar Great Service —    (Patient since 2010)

The service at Advanced Eye Care is always great! From the check-in to the eye exams the staff pays great attention to making your visit as comfortable as possible!

Great staff that was very friendly and helpful. They took lots of time explaining everything and helping my daughter with her contacts for the first time. The lady helping her during her contact instruction was super patient and so very nice. Front desk was extrememely helpful and friendly. The only negative issue was the amount or wait time in the actual vision exam room to see the doctor- my daughter was getting upset she was forgot about - but I understand it was pretty busy. The doctor was very knowledgeable and freindly. I would highly recommend to anyone.

I have serious issues with how I was charged for my visit. I feel that I have been overcharged and I was not given my insurance discount on my eye glass frames. I did have some charges taken off after I called and spoke with Gerry but after looking over my statement. I did not see the discount that I should have been given with my insurance for my eye glass frames. Gerry was very helpful when I spoke to her.
