Always just a pleasant visit at Advanced Eye Care Associates. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Karalekas’ for 15 years he is always friendly and professional.

I have been a patient of Dr Harney at Advanced Eye Care for 30 years and I would never consider changing my optometrist. The entire staff is courteous and competent. Also I have seen advances in the instruments used for evaluation over the years.

An hour spent with Dr. Karalekas is a joy in learning and finding options in coping with the continuing changes of macular degeneration.

Aug 24, 2020
A great experience, professional staff with a customer service mindset. Even with all that is going on their process was flawless and I was in and out of the appointment without any delays. They obviously have their timing down and the rooms used for patients were spotless and marked with sign as to the status of being clean and ready for use, then the staff would change the status once we entered the room. I was very comfortable being there and needed to get the appointment complete.

I can't say enough positive things about this office. I've been a patient here for years. Everyone from the front desk staff, optometry assistants & Dr. Sikalis have always been courteous and professional. The office is immaculate. I also felt very safe during these COVID 19 times.

Excellent experience as usual! The staff is incredible. I was impressed with the COVID precautions as well.
Aug 6, 2020
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
The staff at advanced eye care is so friendly. I always have great experiences from check in, to initial tests, to dr keeping me fully informed, to ordering contacts/glasses. They all work well together. I felt safe visiting during these days of Corona.

I have been seeing Dr Karalekas for years and he is truly my favorite health care provider. He is thorough, knowledgeable and very helpful, always goes the extra mile! This is true for routine appointments as well as emergencies. And, as an added bonus, he gives great ice cream recommendations 😊

Four star examination, explanation and great sales job.

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.

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.

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!!

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 19, 2019

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.

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.

My vision wouldn’t be the same without him! Thank you for all you do Dr. Harney!

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

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.

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!

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.

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!

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 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.

Convenient professional and thorough! Have already recommended several people

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I have been a patient at Advanced Eye Care for many years. The staff is friendly and professional, and my optometrist is thorough and very knowledgeable.

Knowledgeable staff. Takes the time to explain everything and answer any questions.
Jun 24, 2018
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!!!
Jun 22, 2018
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.
Jun 20, 2018
Dr. Karalekis and his staff are friendly, down to earth people who make you feel comfortable and welcome from the moment you come in to the moment you leave. Dr. Karalekis took his time with me, how nice to not be rushed through an appointment for a change! He fully explained everything in language I could understand without talking down to me. Very impressed overall and recommend Advanced Eye Care to others.
Jun 19, 2018
Dr Karaleakis is awesome and takes the time with you and answers any concern you have. He also explains thongs so you xan understand. He'll always be our doctor.

Always a great experience! The quality of the staff has always been high and so polite, and generous!

Friendly staff from check in desk to check out. Everything is explained in detail as you move through stations in office. Dr. Sikalis dedicates his time to answer any questions you might have.

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.
May 8, 2018
Aside from an issue with a last minute appointment change by staff, everything went very well.
May 4, 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.

The service was good. The wait time with a scheduled appointment was too long... doctors needs to explain or work more with patients whom are not fluent in English..

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.

It was an excellent experience for my first visit at a new Eye care facility. Everything from the eye testing and eye examination to the ordering of new lenses was explained fully and I left the office understanding every step of the process. It is a very professional staff.
Oct 31, 2017
My entire family now sees Dr. Harney and I will continue to see him personally amd recommend anyone I know to see him.
Oct 25, 2017
From my initial phone call (looking for a new eye doctor), to the welcome at the front desk, to interacting with the technicians during the exam process, and follow up support staff I couldn't be happier. I very much appreciated Dr. Karalekas, his pleasant, upbeat manner and moreover the time he invested and information he related with regard to my eyesight. I learned more about my eyes than I had in fifty years.
Oct 25, 2017
Really enjoyed my visit. This was the most thorough eye exam I have ever received. The girl who helped me when I first arrived was really helpful and super personable.
Oct 25, 2017
My friends always ask me WHY do you drive SO FAR for an eye appointment? And the answer is simple - EVERYONE at Advanced Eye Car is happy to be at their job and SO GOOD at what they do. It means allot to know the people (especially Dr. CK) are the best at what they do and up to date on the latest info and technology for one of the MOST important things in my life - my vision! And I have never ever had regret about any of my eyeglass choices because the staff is spot ON about what looks great on my face - even when I am not.
Oct 11, 2017
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.
Oct 11, 2017
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.

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. A complete inventory of more eye glass frames than necessary and helpful staff. Dr. Sikalis is competent, personable and thorough. Can't say enough good things about this business.

I was amazed at the many high-tech machines the office used to check every aspect of my vision. It was very impressive!

I had an eye exam yesterday. Everyone is friendly. But the only thing that disappointed me was the waiting time. You made me wait almost an hour before I can see the doctor.

They saved my vacation when both my clear and sun glasses broke the same week. The support staff is amazing. I had very good service during my exam but the office was a bit over scheduled. I waited about 20 minutes after my appointment and another 20 minutes between the preliminary testing and actually seeing the doctor. The whole appointment ended up being two hours long.
Aug 30, 2017
Wow, it was a pleasant experience coming to Advanced Eye Care Associates. Dr. K was very friendly, and enthusiastic about eyes! It was refreshing to have such kind staff who were also knowledgeable. I felt comfortable.
Aug 30, 2017
Advanced Eye is hands-down the best optometry office in the area! My entire family and I have been seeing Dr. Karalekas for all our eye care needs longer than I can remember. Not only do we get quality care, he treats us like family – you can't ask for more than that!
Aug 30, 2017
Was very fast and excellent appointment. I loved all the latest wquipment and the Dr. was great.
Aug 18, 2017
I made my appointment based on an outside recommendation. I couldn't have been more pleased with the entire experience. I was impressed with the state of the art technology and the expertise of the technician who did the initial tests. Dr. Sikalis took the time to explain the results of all the screenings and the implications. Dave was extremely helpful and knowledgeable regarding choosing my new frames. I have already recommended Advanced Eye Care Associates to family members and friends.
Aug 16, 2017
Dr sikalas is a very knowledgeable Dr and he has a great remote with the patients
Aug 11, 2017
This is my second time going to Advanced Eye Care and so far I always had a good experience with the doctor and staff.

Very impressed.Most thorough and helpful.
Aug 11, 2017
I received an eye check-up / evaluation. The experience was excellent, informative and one I recommend that people do with the suggested regularity. Advanced Eye Care Associates and Dr. Sikalis were fantastic.
Aug 11, 2017
From the receptionist to the nurse and Doctor were all awesome!! Don't want to try anywhere else. Going to get my wife to go for exam. The new tools are great to see how your whole eyes are doing.

Wonderful practice and wonderful staff!

My experience and that of my 4yr and 12yr old daughters was far superior to those at Mass eye an ear, a mile from our Boston home. The children were treated with age appropriate care and Dr Harney takes time to explain everything. Highly recommend.
Aug 1, 2017
Very friendly and efficient. The doctor did a great job of explaining all the tests and the results.
Jul 27, 2017
too soon to tell, I just basically had a consultation apt.
Jul 20, 2017
everyone there has been so helpful and kind. I have and will again recommend this office to everyone that will listen.
Jul 20, 2017
I have been a patient of Dr. Harney's for many years and have always been pleased with his care. Now my children are patients of his and we a very happy with the care he provides and the office staff.

Great staff, Dr Sikalis and his eyewear technicians are top notch.
Jul 11, 2017
I loved the office and the up to date equipments. The staff was friendly and professional. I've already book appointments for my 4 girls. I'm very happy with the service I got from the doctor and his staffs and I will recommend everyone to go there . ;)

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!!
Jun 14, 2017
I have been to a few eye doctors and I can say I like you guys the best. Very friendly
Jun 2, 2017
It was my first to the eye doctor I'm 8 years old and I fell very comfortable and confident with the doctor

May 20, 2017
During my first ever visit, I felt very comfortable and the staff was very friendly and professional. There was a wide variety of glasses to choose. I will be coming back.

May 5, 2017
Dr Christopher was so nice. He explained everything in detail.in ways that I could easily understand. He was very nice and I already referred a friend to Advanced Eye care and Dr Chris. And the wonderful person that helped me with choosing glasses My fashion designer Helped make this decision easy without breaking the bank. I am very pleased with my 1st appointment and will recommend your office.
May 5, 2017

Apr 10, 2017
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.
Apr 7, 2017
Hi, we like the service, the work excellent and very punctual with the time
Apr 7, 2017
I absolutely love coming here. All of the staffs are so welcoming. Dr. Christopher Karalekas is amazing!

Apr 7, 2017
You were very caring and informative
Apr 5, 2017
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!
Mar 31, 2017
I high recommend this clinic very responsibly .Thanks
Mar 31, 2017
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!
Mar 29, 2017
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
Mar 27, 2017
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
Mar 25, 2017
Very professional as always. Andrea was awesome as usual during the pre screen visit. Dr. K always goes above and beyond to help my "golf" game!!!
Mar 23, 2017
Excellent service. I have recommended this office to two of my family members whom are also very pleased with the experience. Dr. Harney and Gerry are the best
Mar 23, 2017

Mar 21, 2017
Great friendly staff, and physician.
Mar 20, 2017
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.
Mar 16, 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!
Mar 6, 2017
My appointment went very well the doctor that assisted me was great was precise and quick giving me my diagnostic .

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.
Feb 27, 2017
We love Advanced Eye Care Associates! They are always so helpful, effiecient & really know their stuff!
Feb 25, 2017
Dr. Karalekas is the best! Brought my daughter to him and he made her feel so comfortable and explained things so even my 7 yr old can understand. He's so thorough and patient. Love him.
Feb 23, 2017
Loved the technology It was fast And very affordable
Feb 23, 2017
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.
Feb 23, 2017
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.
Feb 23, 2017
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!
Feb 22, 2017
Dr. Harney rocks and Gerry rock! Wouldn't go anywhere else for eye care.
Feb 21, 2017
Very customer focused and appreciate the advanced technology used as well as helping me to understand the results and choices for glasses.

Feb 6, 2017
Great Customer Service and very thorough testing with state of the art equipment.
Feb 3, 2017
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.
Feb 3, 2017
Great group of people from the receptionist to the technison to Dr. Saklius

I am very happy with Advanced Eye care. Dr Harney is wonderful. As are the ladies in the eye glass center. Jerry was very helpful in helping me picking out frames and took the extra time with my insurance co to get me the best price.
Feb 2, 2017
Was treated with very much respect and care by all staff members and of course by the Dr.

Dr Sikalis always explains the what's and whys of things. One never needs to wonder why and how come things are prescribed.
Feb 1, 2017
Good prompt friendly knowledgeable service
Jan 31, 2017
I was very pleased with my first visit to Advanced Eye Care Assoc. and the interaction I experienced with the employee who conducted the initial testing and with Dr. Karalekas. This was an evening appointment near closing time, but nothing was rushed and plenty of time was dedicated to testing, Q&A and explanations of testing results.
Jan 25, 2017
I feel very comfortable there.
Jan 20, 2017
Absolutely loved it everyone was so nice and friendly and very helpful definitely will go again.!!
Jan 19, 2017
I have seeing Dr. Harney for almost 40 years and he is the best.
Jan 18, 2017
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.
Jan 13, 2017
I was very impressed with my visist to Advanced Eye Care Associates. I found the staff and doctors very friendly and professional. So much different from my previous eye doctors who's staff needed serious customer service training. I so glad that I finally found an Eye Care professional for my family.
Jan 13, 2017
First time in the office due to an emergency. Left a message after hours and was promptly responded to. Office staff was friendly. Dr. Sikalis was kind and knowledgeable.
Jan 9, 2017
It was my first visit yesterday, but I was happy with the way the staff handled me . The place was clean, didn't wait long to see the Doctor. With the Doctor I was happy of how he took is time to explain to me about my eye exam, & how he even went ahead to make more exams on me. This made me feel I was having the best eye care exam.
Jan 6, 2017
I love this office for my eye care. The staff is always friendly and very helpful. The eye glass shop is filled with new and exciting frames for all my fashion eye ware!
Dec 29, 2016
Great experience always! Everyone is very pleasant! Dave always helps me pick out a great pair of stylish glasses. He'll even give you a brief history on the style of the glasses.
Dec 28, 2016
I went for a yearly eye check up and my experience was great. Doctor and other supporting staff are good at their work and treat their patients with utmost care.
Dec 22, 2016
I absolutely LOVE Dr. Karalekas! I can not be happier with my experience there with him. The office offers complimentary coffee, tea, and wifi. The staff is friendly, professional, and prompt. Also love the fact the office is up to date with today's technology. Dr. Karalekas knows his stuff. He's very informative and thorough with his explanations. He's patient when you have questions. He's gentle, makes sure your comfortable and his energy gets you excited as well. I would recommend him to anyone who is seeking a true professional.
Dec 15, 2016

Dec 2, 2016
Everyone was efficient and helpful. Dr. Sikalis was very informative, explaining potential health issues clearly and without condescending.
Dec 2, 2016
Staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The technology Dr. Sikalis uses is amazing. He is not only a caring person to his clients, he treats his staff with respect, and it shows. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
