A great blend of efficiency and care. The entire staff at Ridgefield Family Eye is so good at making sure your time is valued, and does so with a measure of warmth and care that doesn't make you feel like just another chart in their day.

Sep 29, 2020

We just recently switched to Ridgefield Family Eye Care and we couldn't be any happier. Dr. Bran is the best.

Sep 25, 2020

Dr. Berman has been our family eye doctor for the last 15 years. He is the best! His clinic has been modified to comply with the CDC Covid-19 guidelines. We feel very comfortable on going into his office on not getting Covid-19 virus.

Sep 23, 2020

My first time here and I felt extremely comfortable and in the care of skilled people who did a thorough testing with state-of-the-art equipment. Will be coming back to buy glasses here too. An exceptional experience during these times.

Sep 22, 2020

Excellent service as alway

Sep 21, 2020

From the beginning of my office visit to the end I felt extremely comfortable & well taken of. Everyone was extremely professional & I couldn’t have been in better hands for an eye exam & also with the help I got from the optical department choosing the right glasses. Thank you to all the staff.

Sep 19, 2020

Simple, organized, effective process to deal with COVID Precautions and complete the exam

Sep 19, 2020

I arrived 10 minutes before my appointment time and texted per instructions. My text was confirmed and at my appointment time I was told to report to the front door, where I was met by an associate and my temperature was taken and I was escorted to the first examination room for testing. After quickly going through four tests I was taken to a third empty examination room and was told that some one would come to take me to an empty examination for the the doctor. After waiting 40 minutes with no further contact from the staff I texted the original number and asked if there was a problem. Minutes later an associate came to get me to take me to another examination room where I had a another 10 minute wait to see the Dr. Berman. He apologized for the wait, but my guess is that he had no idea that I had been waiting 50 minutes from when I finished preliminary testing. My guess is that if I hadn’t texted I would have been in the first examination room for hours. I had to have received four texts reminding me of the appointment. Maybe the same system should be used to alert the staff of patient status in the office, or to alert patients of where they stand in the cue to see the doctor if he is running behind.

Sep 16, 2020

As usual, everything was done very professional. I want to thank everyone who took care of me, especially Brianna.p

Sep 16, 2020

Excellent care with a high level of safety for patients and staff. I saw everything cleaned prior and after my visit.

Sep 15, 2020

Visit was handled professionally and with what seemed adequate health and safety control.

Sep 5, 2020

Knowledgeable and they take the time to explain things, fully. I never feel rushed and my glasses always come out cut perfect.

Sep 4, 2020

Very pleasant and helpful staff, but a very long wait to see the doctor.

Sep 3, 2020

My appointment was very efficient and I felt very comfortable being in the office.

Sep 2, 2020

Five stars...staff and doctor are wonderful

Sep 1, 2020

Excellent eye care; have complete confidence in Dr. Bran. He is thorough, caring, patient. He never rushes you and always thoroughly answers my questions. The people at the front desk are always friendly and efficient. And I can't say enough about the wonderful professionals in the optical department. They are always so nice, friendly -- and have the most patience of anyone I know! I can attest to that as I'm sure I drive them crazy when I stop in for a glasses adjustment! A wonderful medical facility!

Sep 1, 2020

Great service everyone was very professional and the offices were super clean. Really well organized with everything they needed to do to protect the client and themselves during this pandemic.

Ridgefield Family Eye Care is caring, professional and personable. Dr. Rachel Hawran is the best. My family and I have been going here for years. No matter which Eye Doctor you choose here you are in great hands.

Aug 25, 2020

Quality of care is excellent

Aug 24, 2020

As always, my visit to ridgefield family eye care was stellar!

Aug 22, 2020

My younger son was scared to get in the exam chair during his first eye appointment. He threw a typical little-kid tantrum right there in the exam room. But Dr. Bran was amazing at gently encouraging my son to take a few "pretend" eye tests and then get in the exam chair for the real tests. And it worked! Now my son thinks he has perfect vision and wants to be an Air Force pilot. Thank you to the talented, trusted, and warm doctors and staff at Ridgefield Family Eye Care for all that you do!

Aug 21, 2020

I recommend Ridgefield Family Eyecare even when I'm not asked. Can't give a higher review then that!

Aug 21, 2020

Always leave very satisfied with the care I receive. Would highly recommend Ridgefield Family rye care. Dr. Berman is great and extremely caring and professional, and feel confident in the care I receive. The office is very clean and staff always courteous.

Aug 20, 2020

Friendly and knowledgeable customer service. Wait time was very long however. 2 hours for a routine eye exam was quite long, but they handled safety protocol very well for COVID-19.

Aug 20, 2020

Great doctors and great techs. It’s the only doctor appointment amy kids look forward to.

Aug 19, 2020

Aug 15, 2020

Dr Berman and the entire team are amazing! I unfortunately ended up having an issue that required immediate surgery . Dr. Berman jumped into action and within minutes I had an appointment less than 24 hours away! He was so caring and calming, knowing I was taken by surprise and quite nervous. I also felt extremely comfortable with the precautions he and his team took to keep patients safe. I can’t say enough about them and highly recommend to anyone! Olesia Matijcio

Aug 14, 2020

An upbeat friendly office atmosphere. Efficient process through all the technology. Friendly caring knowledgeable Dr. I am well satisfied that my vision and eyes are being well taken care of. Thank you!

Aug 13, 2020

Thank you for your great service!! I was so pleased with my eye exam on every level. Besides the cleanliness and precautions for Covid the eye exam provided is one of the most comprehensive and thorough eye exams. The staff was great, Dr. Bran took his time and answered questions which led to some helpful suggestions, and getting glasses fit was a breeze! Because I don't live nearby anymore I had been looking for an eye doctor closer to home but hadn't found someone that seemed as thorough. Well worth going a bit out of my way to get there and will happily continue. I'm sending my husband next!

Aug 12, 2020

As usual, everything was great! The steps you've taken to combat Covid-19 were very well done, and most appreciated. You staff is still wonderful, and Dr. Simoncelli is caring, compassionate and professional.

Jul 11, 2020

Given the high standards of care and the professionalism of all the staff at RFEC, I wasn’t surprised to see how carefully they have implemented safety measures to protect patients and staff. I felt very safe the whole time. As always, the eye exam was thorough, and then selecting and getting fitted for new sunglass frames was a breeze.

Jul 11, 2020

Dr. Simoncelli was able to fit me in when I had my retina tear. She was so kind and put me at ease when I was close to tears. I can't thank her enough.

Jul 11, 2020

I appreciate all of the procedures they enacted to insure my and the staff's health and safety.The procedures were clear and easy to follow. The entire staff confirmed my confidence in their professional abilities to provide quality care. Thank you for a great visit during these taxing times.

Jun 27, 2020

The best optometrists in the world! Literally: I've been to fancy eye clinics all over the US & Europe and Drs. Bran and Hawran are the only ones who capably diagnose & treat my eye muscle disorder. They're friendly, competent, encouraging and really think through your individual problem.

Jun 24, 2020

Very good protocols in place for safety and cleanliness. Everyone was friendly and informative. Dr. Bran always takes the time to answer questions and concerns. Highly recommend Ridgefield Family Eye Care.

Jun 4, 2020

Great staff and procedures as always

Jun 4, 2020

I received multiple texts, emails, and phone calls about the intake form. The message sent along with it gave me the impression that it was a check in right before the appt (aka you do in parking lot) rather than doing it the day before which is what you wanted.

Jun 3, 2020

Ridgefield Family Eye Care has been my go-to eye doctors for over 20 years. They are very professional and have the latest equipment. Doctors Hawran and Berman are the best! I only wish they were closer to my home as I need to drive 45-50 minutes to get to their office. David Spaeth

Jun 3, 2020

May 27, 2020

My family and I have been patients and customers of Ridgefield Family Eye Care since we moved to Ridgefield, CT in 2002.

Keep up the good work and most importantly, the great attitude!

Jan 10, 2020

Dr. Berman and the staff were excellent when I explained my time constraints for the appointment and trying to honor the appointment time.

Jan 9, 2020

Ridgefield Family Eye care is fantastic. We have been going there for at least 10 years. Any time we have had an emergency they have gotten us in very quickly. The staff and Doctors are warm, friendly and excellent.

Jan 8, 2020

Dr. Hawran was incredible. I came to see her after my rheumatologist prescribed a medication that could cause damage to my eyes. She completed a through exam while still listening to me go on about continuous journey to find treatment for my symptoms that led me to take the medication. I’m new to the area so she even told me about some health food stores to try. She gave me better advice than the specialists I have seen lately. The women in the eye glasses area are also very kind, patient and helpful when choosing eye glasses! I got my frames there and came back for prescription sunglasses.

The technicians and doctors are friendly and efficient at Ridgefield Family Eye Care. It's a pleasure to visit.

Dec 19, 2019

I keep getting this email, but am not a patient of Ridgefield Family Care. I have left emails requesting I be unsubscribed, but no joy. for this reason I think that Ridgefield Family Eye Care has very, very poor customer service.

I was able to get an appointment quickly, and everyone I worked with was friendly and helpful.

Jul 29, 2019

Office people were great, professional and also engaging. Dr. Berman is attentive and focused on you and your feedback. Great service and experience.

Jul 27, 2019

Very good service, thorough and knowledgeable staff !

Jul 27, 2019

I would refer because of all the update equipment and of course the entire staff takes the time to explain everything. Prices are higher in the area only downfall

Jul 26, 2019

This is one of the best eye care centers I have ever been to. The staff is very friendly, and the doctors are amazing. And the eyeglass center is also top notch.

Jul 24, 2019

I am very very happy with Dr Rachel

Jul 24, 2019

A good experience all around! I was impressed with the friendly, efficient staff; the thorough pre-exam by a skilled technician; and the care and attention I received from Dr. Berman himself. I went in for a new prescription, but all the testing, and his thoughtful analysis, revealed underlying causes for the decline in my sight over the past few years. I now have a few procedures to follow to keep it stable. After the exam, I purchased new glasses from an attentive, informed staff member who patiently helped me choose a style from the large selection in the front of the office. I'd give this experience 10 stars if I could--Dr. Berman and his team are first-rate and I recommend them without reservation.

Jul 22, 2019

Dr. Bran and the staff at Ridgefield Family Eye Care are outstanding. We could not ask for more. We drive up from Maryland for our eye exams. Doi not change a thing.

Jul 20, 2019

I have Keratoconus and over the last 50 years have had several corneal transplants. As such, it was critically important that I find the very best optometrist to team with my ophthalmologist to optimize my vision. That person is Dr. Rachel Hawran from Ridgefield Family Eye Care. She is extremely qualified on all the available options to help me get the best possible vision. Soft Lenses, Hybred Lenses, Sclaral Lenses and good old fashion spectacles. Over the last 10 years we have cycled through all of these and miraculously she got me 20/20 vision with normal eye glasses using an 18 cylinder lens. Every doctor that has examined my eyes is amazed that I can see so well. It is a tribute to Dr. Hawran’s skill and commitment. She pushes the labs and providers to make exceptions and do the seemingly impossible. If you have Keratoconus you should meet Dr. Hawran and the welcoming capable staff at Ridgefield Family Eye Care.

Jul 19, 2019

Ridgefield Family Eye Care represents the finest in comprehensive eye exams and eye health. The staff is very kind and helpful. Dr. Hawran is super thorough and professional.

Jul 17, 2019

I found your entire staff to be warm, professional and efficient. They know what they are doing and do it very well. It was a real pleasure for me throughout the visit. Thanks, Chris

Jul 17, 2019

I was so pleased I left making another appointment for my other child.

Jul 16, 2019

This practice is wonderful. Everyone is very kind, attentive and very professional. They all put you at ease. Dr. Berman explains everything to you and will answer all questions you may have. You do not feel rushed in any way. They all are wonderful, from the desk, to the young man that did the testing, to Dr. Berman.

Jul 11, 2019

Most thorough eye exam ever. Knowledge and nice.

Jul 4, 2019

Dr. Bran is so kind and patient with my daughter who gets anxious seeing doctors. He is very thorough and explains things in a way that someone not in the medical field can understand.

Jun 25, 2019

Always a wonderful pleasure & great knowledgeable staff and positive attitude

Jun 24, 2019

One Standard Of Excellence. Very Skilled, Excellent Communication, Very Personal I Would Have It Better. Thank You Very Much.

Jun 20, 2019

I have been a patient here since shortly after I moved to Ridgefield in 1986. Although I have moved several times since, I always keep coming back for the great care I receive. Dr. Berman is so caring and up with the latest technology to help care for his patients. He spends the time to explain every test result in detail. They hire the friendliest staff as well. I couldn’t envision getting such great care anywhere else.

Jun 15, 2019

I drive from Woodbridge even though I no longer work in Wilton. That should really say it all

Jun 12, 2019

I absolutely love Dr. Berman he is a wonderful person and doctor!

Jun 10, 2019

Over many years my husband Michael and I have lived in the Danbury area and have been patients of other eye care practices. Yesterday was our first experience at Ridgefield Family Eye Care. First, everyone in the front office treated us with a kind, unstressed, personal touch. Second, the technician, Bradford, ran numerous tests on up to date technology to collect eye data that Dr, Berman would use during the individual exams. Finally, Dr. Al Berman gave eye exams that were the most thorough either of us had experienced. I appreciated his explanation after the exam using the data and pictures on the computer. I left this exam knowing more about the health of my eyes than I could even ask about on my own. On the way home, I texted Dr. Berman because we wanted him to know that we really appreciated his professional time. I highly recommend that you make your next eye care appointment at Ridgefield Family Eye Care.

Jun 6, 2019

Dr. Hawran was fantastic with our two daughters. She was very thorough, made the experience fun and made our girls feel very comfortable. I was very impressed with the whole experience.

May 30, 2019

I can offer no suggestions for improvement. Friendly, helpful staff, and Dr. Alan Berman always patiently and thoroughly explains procedures & test results. Special thanks to the young man (Bradford) for his friendly attitude and for professionally steering me through the preliminary detailed tests during my recent yearly exam.

Apr 10, 2019

On time, efficient, friendly, and expert! The only negative for me is filling out my name, date address, and phone on forms yet again. This should be printed out and ready for me to just answer questions or add new information.

Apr 9, 2019

This is a fantastic operation. Family friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable.

Apr 8, 2019

Always pleased with this office

Apr 8, 2019

I was a bit anxious going in for my exam to say the least. Dr. Bran was very patient and informative as was the rest of the staff. I felt that I was in very good hands in a very professional practice. I was recommended by a friend and I would certainly pass on the recommendation.

Apr 5, 2019

Very friendly. Doctors are professional and very knowledgeable.

Apr 5, 2019

I typically see Dr. Hawran but saw Dr. Simoncelli for the first time due to a preference in her availability. I thought she was great and hope to continue seeing her in the future! My appointment was yesterday and I already recommended her to coworkers.

Apr 5, 2019

I saw Dr Bran and am scheduling an appointment for my husband now. Such a thorough and complete exam. Great staff.

Apr 2, 2019

I cam in as a new patient with an eye injury and they were able to bring me in same day I called and then scheduled a number of followup appointments over the next 5 days to make sure I was healing properly. It had been a really great experience.

Jan 5, 2019

Dr. Hawran was, and is always, very thorough and fully answers my questions.

Dec 31, 2018

I've been coming here with my family since Dr. Teig started. Your service is excellent.

Dec 22, 2018

All of the doctors at RFEC are great. They use state of the art technology that helped them diagnosed my glaucoma very early and treat it more effectively. Their follow up with their patients is so impressive and appreciated.

Dec 20, 2018

caring bright people who made my experience quick and easy

Dec 19, 2018

Superior, sincere and most professional attitudes exhibited by all; Dr.Hawran, receptionists and glasses techs. The coffee was even exceptional. Thank you.

Dec 12, 2018

Extremely thorough examination, with the latest and best technology, and no pressure to rush through the appointment. Extremely professional eye care business.

Dec 12, 2018

Dr.Berman very thorough and personable - I feel very confident that I will notice a positive change in my vision.

Dec 10, 2018

Always thorough, compassionate and wonderful!

Dec 8, 2018

I was very pleased with my office visit. The people that work for Ridgefield Family Eye Care are all exceptional. They greet you with a smile when you enter their office. Everyone is very professional yet personable. The doctor explains things in terms that are easy to understand.

Dec 7, 2018

I've been a patient of Ridgefield Family Eye Care for 35 years, and each year I am more impressed by their practice. Their reputation is top notch and very well deserved! Very very highly recommended.

Nov 28, 2018

The guy who did all my preliminary work (with the long hair!) is really nice and personable and takes his job very seriously. And I normally see Dr Bran but Dr Berman was fantastic! I got a great recommendation for blue light filtering lenses.

Nov 24, 2018

Very thorough exam. Dr. Berman and all staff are extremely professional, courteous and competent. Very good selection of eyewear and helpful assistance in selecting frames.

Nov 21, 2018

Dr Simoncelli was professional and personal I felt my exam was thorough and the assistant was efficient and kind

Nov 16, 2018

Nov 5, 2018

Loved everything about Ridgefield Family Eye Care. Staff were welcoming, professional and knowledgeable. I felt I got an excellent, unhurried and comprehensive eye exam that used the latest technology ... and they had a wonderful range of eyeglass frame from which to choose. Would not hesitate to recommend to others.

Nov 5, 2018

I’ve been a client of RFEC for the better part of 26 years, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. I’ve always gotten a big kick out of their state of the art technology, It’s amazing how much one can learn from a comprehensive eye exam about one’s general health and well-being. Dr.Berman is the partner who does my exams. He’s a true pro, and he’s excellent at putting a patient at ease. Do not hesitate to make an appointment. Respectfully, Bobbi Esposito

Nov 3, 2018

Everyone in the office where very kind and friendly,

Oct 25, 2018

Everyone is always so kind. I have been going here for years and love you all.

Oct 25, 2018

Everyone is always very warm and welcoming

Oct 17, 2018

We always reccomend Ridgefield Eye care! We wouldn't go anywhere else. And we live in Shelton so its not nearby.

Oct 14, 2018

I would never go to any other eye doctors. Dr. Hawran is wonderful. Lisa, who helped me choose and order my new glasses, is delightful and patient. Best team.

Oct 13, 2018

Professional, courteous and prompt

Oct 10, 2018

I have to comment on the wait time. Normally, it is not as long but the staff was one man down yesterday, so things were slightly backed up but not to an annoying degree. It was still only about a 20 minute wait.

Oct 10, 2018

It's always an excellent visit with Dr. Berman. He is very professional, knowledgeable and extremely thorough in his attention to detail. I always come away feeling that I have received absolutely the best care possible. He answers all questions with patience and welcomes an open dialog about any issue that I may bring up. He listens attentively to any concerns that are raised and addresses them completely. He is also very personable. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a high level of quality eye care.

Oct 7, 2018

ALWAYS A BIG HELP AND MAKES ME FEEL I'm SPECIAL TO THEM

Oct 7, 2018

The entire staff is very professional!

Oct 5, 2018

Everyone was very good Very good

Oct 4, 2018

The staff was so supportive and caring when I explained my anxiety around eye appointments. They helped me through it and I felt very comfortable.

Oct 3, 2018

I have been a patient of Dr Hawran’s for over ten years. Dr. Hawran is very thorough, and knowledgeable of all my eye conditions thus far. She is patient and caring while listening to my concerns and explains her diagnosis to me with different options for resolution. During my annual checkup this past Saturday, and after I mentioned an isssue with focusing and eye floaters, Dr Hawran discovered a retina problem and immediately set up a referral/appointment with a retina surgeon to evaluate my situation that same afternoon. I was then contacted by the retina specialist Dr Coady in Westport. After a thorough examination, I had emergency laser surgery for retina detachment that same afternoon. I am very grateful for the medical expertise and thoroughness of Dr Hawran in saving my eyesight. And Dr Coady for the immediate response to my medical emergency.

Sep 25, 2018

Friendly staff. Dr. Bran provides excellent care.

Sep 23, 2018

The whole team was great and Dr Hawran was caring and thorough

Sep 21, 2018

Friendly staff, efficient service, qualify care.

Sep 21, 2018

Everyone was very courteous and efficient

Sep 18, 2018

The doctor didn’t rush me and answered all my questions!

Sep 14, 2018

Dr. Bran is professional and I always confident with the exam he has provided.

Sep 13, 2018

Front desk always sweet on phone and in person, same with those who help with glasses!

Sep 13, 2018

Always a great experience coming in here.

Sep 12, 2018

It is refreshing to be treated as an individual, with compassion and care, rather than someone to be ushered through the office as quickly as possible.

Aug 31, 2018

I was a new patient. The greeting from the front desk was pleasant. Forms indicated up front that one procedure would likely not be covered by insurance, asking for permission, which was a nice change from past experiences. Brenda (?) came immediately and was absolutely excellent. She was very professional and pleasant, and took the time to listen to my concerns. The wait for the doctor was negligible. He conducted a thorough exam, explained everything, and addressed my concerns about my eye health. I returned home and requested appointments for other family members.

Aug 31, 2018

It is always a pleasure to come to your offices as the staff is very warm and welcoming.

Aug 30, 2018

Your office staff is friendly and welcoming..in fact Irving gave good advice on how my day was. Going. It was on Smart Tvs. He also gave me good advice on the cleaning glasses.

Aug 28, 2018

Everything about this practice is EXCELLENT, except it does not accept Connecticare insurance, which is rather odd since it is one of only two insurers on the individual market in Connecticut. But, I like the doctor so much, that I pay out of my own pocket.

Aug 28, 2018

Sikilled, professional doctors & staff

Aug 24, 2018

My first time here was very pleasant, not rushed, I will be back.

Aug 21, 2018

The staff is very knowledgeable and they don't rush you through.

Aug 17, 2018

And I do recommend the practice to everyone I know. I have the most difficult eyes to fit for prescriptions, both eyeglasses and contacts, and am an avid reader as well as an outdoor sports-woman. I feel like my eyes are my most important asset and Dr Berman and the staff make me feel as though they really care about my acuity, my comfort, my eye health and my appearance. They even give me travel size samples of solutions for my vacations so I'm not lugging big bottles of liquid. I have called them while on vacation, and the optometrist and they coordinated my eye-care with the optometrist at the resort. I couldn't have a stronger recommendation than Dr Berman and Patty in Contact Lenses and the whole 'Family Eye Care' practice.

Aug 16, 2018

Efficient and informative. Even though I was just in for an eye exam, I felt everyone was extremely thorough and did a great job of explaining the results.

Aug 16, 2018

Everything is great there...however it does tend to be more expensive than other places.

Aug 14, 2018

Very kind, considerate and caring. As a patient without an appointment they worked me in and did not rush me through but took time to give fill attention to my problem. I shall return 🙂

Aug 11, 2018

Great service and confident in Dr Berman's eye care

Aug 10, 2018

Dr. Rachel Hawran was such a terrific doctor I am switching to her care permanently.

Aug 8, 2018

Very friendly staff. They made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Explained every step clearly.

Aug 7, 2018

Having worn glasses & contacts for the majority of my lifetime, and dealing with the insecurities poor eye sight often inflicts upon us, I have found my highest level of comfort and confidence with Ridgefield Family EC!. The staff is tremendously sensitive to the patient's needs, and I find Dr. Bram in particular to be as professional and competent a physician I've ever worked with. Rick Wright, Brookfield

Jul 31, 2018

Been going here for nearly 30 years. All the staff and doctors are excellent in every way.

Jul 29, 2018

Jul 25, 2018

Dr berman and staff super

Jul 24, 2018

Great service. I was seen on time.

Jul 24, 2018

My husband and I have been using Ridgefield Eye Care for more years than I can remembner and we've both been very happy with how our visits and glasses have been. The people are wonderful and helpful.

Jul 20, 2018

Everyting went completely smoothly during my appointment. The state-of-the-art equipment was very impressive and provided valuable results. Irving was wonderful - so very kind and efficient, and Dr. Simoncelli was professional, well versed in all aspects of her field, informative and also very kind.

Jul 16, 2018

Very professional, friendly and efficient.

Jul 13, 2018

thorough inspiring confidence

Jul 12, 2018

Jul 11, 2018

Jul 4, 2018

Great staff. Very accommodating. Dr. Berman is awesome. Been a patient for many years.

Jun 30, 2018

Friendly and professional at the same time!

Jun 29, 2018

Very glad to having the care and empathy and quality of care at my appointment

Jun 27, 2018

Office was well run. I appreciated the time Dr, Bran took explaining things to me. The girl that did the preliminary work before the Dr. Was knowledgeable & kind and patient. My husband and I will be back next year.

Jun 26, 2018
