I had a horrible experience with Hindsight. I was with them for 10 months and still didn't get a useful Rx for contacts. I ended up with Coco (after trying Cushing and a different doctor who unfortunately left which I can see why since Coco clearly despised her) - Coco has zero bedside manner and is unwilling to listen to his patients (apparently he thinks private practice is the military that he is used to).

He and his largely inept and equally lacking in bedside manner technical staff tried to blame my difficulty with contacts on me not taking a dry eye Rx properly, when, in fact, my current Dr. found that my difficulty is due to an eye disease (that that particular Rx would never have helped) - a disease Coco never bothered to consider or do a simple exam for. Stay far away from this practice - it's a disaster with few exceptions.

Dr. Coco and all of his staff, especially Bernadette, went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and to educate me on my options and my cataract surgery. Although I had had my other eye done somewhere else and am a healthcare provider, there was a lot I was not told the last time and they spent a lot of time educating me on what was going to happen and what to expect throughout the whole process. I cannot say enough good things about Hines Sight. I highly recommend this team for any of your eye care needs.

I love this place. I've been going to Hines Sight since I had my Lasix surgery 19 years ago. I saw Stanley Cushing and I was pleased with him. He made me feel comfortable and he explained everything I asked for and needed to know and he had a sense of humor too. He's a nice and kind and friendly I would recommend him and say your in good hands.

Dr Stanley Cushing has been doing my annual eye exam for years. He and his staff are knowledgeable, courteous, professional, and efficient. I highly recommend him and the staff at Hines Sight for your eye care needs.

Everyone at the practice was very helpful and courteous. I was especially cared for by Bernadette as she explained the procedure and the process to me. All the follow-up was thorough, and folks are very friendly.

Stanley Cushing is a great eye doctor. He takes the time to answer your questions. Great care by the support staff. Office staff is friendly.

Tried Hines Sight after 30+ years with my previous doctor in my old town. Showed up for my first appointment which they had failed to put in the books. Showed up for my second appointment and the assistant was friendly and professional, but obviously on a tight schedule as everything felt rushed. That continued with the doctor who I would name, but he didn't bother to introduce himself.

When I called to order contacts they hit me with a $50 fee they forgot to charge me during my visit and told me contacts would be a 2 week wait. When I inquired about samples to hold me over I was informed there was no Doctor around for a week. Feels to me like they're trying to run as may people through the place as possible and actually taking care of the patient is a secondary focus to volume. Doubtful I'll return.

On time. The staff is very nice and caring. I would recommend Dr Coco. It doesn't take long to get an appointment.

I had an eye condition that needed attention and called them first thing when they opened and they got me in within an hour! Excellent service, no waiting. They're amazing! I've been going since I had LASIK surgery there over 15 years ago. They are excellent!

I had an excellent experience with Hines Sight (except for booking on Zocdoc, which was not their fault). Everyone was very, very nice, from the people working in the office to an absolutely awesome technician, and Dr. Cushing was just terrific! I am definitely going to be going back from now on.

I was here for 2 hours for a normal, annual exam. It was the day after a holiday weekend so I understand they had a lot of last minute, emergency appointments, but I wish someone would have warned me they were running behind when I checked in. The exam went fine and I received a new prescription for glasses. After attempting to purchase new glasses online, I called the office to ask about my PD was since it was missing from the prescription.

I was told they don't perform this measurement in their office and I would need to have this measured somewhere else. Really? So now I have to make 2 appointments so I can order new glasses. Very inconvenient and I will likely go to a different practice in the future.

I am 6 months pregnant and as a nurse especially am usually very good about doing my due diligence and research. I did not expect to be dilated and the tech Melissa clearly did not look in my chart or at my 6 month pregnant stomach and pushed me into being dilated via mydriatic solution which I then learned is pregnancy cattegory C, to be used only if absolutely necessary.

The FDA clearly states it is the duty of the provider to explain this to the patient, which they did not, and when confronted she was extremely defensive and handled it very inappropriately. Dr. Cushing was apologetic but it was too late. This was poor patient care and poor practice, and very disappointing. Edited to add my OB reinforced how unnecessary this was and was surprised they would do this if they paid any attention to the fact that I was pregnant. she said hopefully the staff learns from this and starts doing what they should be doing.

I am so impressed with all the staff and the doctors. We have been going to the practice for several years. I had never met Dr. Coco. He is wonderful. Bernadette did a fantastic job detailing my cataract surgery and Dr. Coco did a stellar job calming me down the morning of the surgery. I was very nervous but Dr. Coco was very calm and reassuring. Just what I needed.

Don't hesitate to get cataract surgery and know that every member of the staff and the doctors are wonderful. It was a very positive experience. We are continuing to go regularly and my husband is anticipating his surgery in a year or so. I was so thrilled I actually made them cookies! Always a great thing to do!

While the medical staff was very pleasant and knowledgeable, the management aspect was the source of frustration. It was a nightmare just to get my medical record. Had I not called frequently for over a month (after paying) I am not sure if I would have ever received it.

Thought it might be helpful to note that 6 years later, I am still very happy with my ICL. I still don't need any type of corrective lenses while friends and family who have had LASIK/PRK are complaining that they can't see anymore. Thank you again Dr. Hines!

The front office was extremely friendly and welcoming, unfortunately, I did not go in to make friends, I went to get Lasiks. I highly suggest seeking out a different Optometrist if these are the services you are looking for. This office seemed like it had decent ratings and was moderately priced. I did not want to go to a super cheap place because after all, this is a voluntary surgery.

After the surgery, I had my right eye (dominant) go completely bloody and blurry, while my left healed rather quickly. I called and they said it was normal and that I'll see them for a follow up appointment. My eye was still 90% bruised about 2 weeks later when I went in again, and again, I was assured everything was fine. I had another follow up two weeks later and they tested my vision.

My eyes were off. My left eye now has a better vision than my right and they even tried to convince me that they were the same, that explained the headaches. After like 3 follow up visits Dr. Coco finally accepted that yes, my eyes were off and if it were him he would get the other eye "touched up" this means going back into surgery and taking the super goopy eye drops were everyone stares at you for another two weeks in one eye.

They said they would call with a follow up appointment and they never did. Also, one thing to note, on my 3rd follow up they left me in an exam room for an hour and fifteen minutes with no contact or check-ins whatsoever. I thought they actually closed and went home while I was in there and had to look under the door crack to make sure the lights were still on.

When Dr. Coco finally came in he apologized and said they are a bit busy, looked at my eye for about 4 minutes said, we should schedule another follow up appointment and left. Please please look into going to a different optometrist other than Dr. Coco unless you want to go through the headaches (literally) of having a sub par at best procedure.

I had Lasik performed by Dr Hines 10 years ago and today still see 20/20. My experience then was great and I am so happy to have sought Hines Sight as a trusted surgeon.

I flew out to Colorado to do LASIK with Dr. Coco - he was very thorough and explained what would make me eligible for the procedure and what the actual procedure would be like. Process wasn't painful at all and he talked me through the entire procedure so there were no surprises. He even offered to look up doctors during my post op that were closer to home to do my checkups so I wouldn't have to fly out to Denver for my other appointments! The office staff was very friendly and very accommodating as well.

I saw Dr Coco for cataract surgery. I had such a great experience from the front office staff to seeing the doctor himself. My questions were answered, I didn't feel rushed, and I felt confident about my decision to proceed with the surgery. The surgery went exceptionally well and I am able to see clearly. I would recommend this place to all my friends and family. In fact a few of my family members already see Dr Coco and have the same great experience.

This place is garbage. I saw Dr. Coco and he was speaking with me for less than 5 minutes before he tried to refer me to his surgeon friend to perform a surgery on me, when I was in the office needing a test done to send it to another surgeon I already had picked out. Save your time and money and go somewhere else.

Update: took my son to another Dr. He needs prism lenses and a referral to a binocular specialist. So Dr Coco not only didn't diagnose but let my son leave with a possible issue. DO NOT GO HERE!

I got Lasik from Dr. Hines in August of 1998 and have been going back to this practice yearly (or every other year) since for checkups. I found Dr. Hines to be very honest and open about the risk and rewards of the Lasik procedure. My results were very good and I've never needed a repeat, but he made the point of telling me "you had the best outcome possible" - which was a very straightforward honest evaluation considering the possible risks of Lasik.

I see Dr. Cushing for yearly or bi-yearly checkups and have found him friendly and skilled, as well as the many techs in the office. As far as the one reviewer who was told "they were not a good candidate for Lasik" consider that you were done a huge favor by this information. The worst outcomes in Lasik are usually those people who should not have had the proceedure in the first place.

Great Vision Clinic! I first came in when I was interested in Lasik. I was so impressed with that entire LASIK experience and how efficiently the office ran, that I now give them ALL of our vision business. As to Lasik, the office is so well run and you are given such a thorough exam and education about the procedure that you have no guess work in the matter. Dr. Cushing worked with me with special lenses to show me what my custom waveform mono vision would "look like" to my eyes, so there were no doubts in my mind that was the best choice for me!

The procedure itself, several weeks after the very thorough prep examinations, went off without a hitch and was 100% successful- no issues! Easier than I thought, with better results than anyone expected. i just wished I had thrown away the contacts and glasses 15 years ago! As to the clinic, my family now sees Dr. Cushing and we are all pleased. Full service, efficient, and friendly vision clinic. A++++

Got my lasik here, had to come back for an enhancement because the first time didn't totally correct my vision. Had to deal with dry eyes for half a year but as promised, that went away (thank God!) The second surgery and subsequent exams are all covered which was nice. But they don't always tell me what my readings are especially (I can feel it) if the numbers are getting worse.

Other than that, pretty nice staff. I only saw Dr. Hines when he operates on me, post-op exams are all seen by Dr. Cushing. Would be nice if the same Dr. can follow through with the entire procedure.

Well, i can say they are very thorough! My exam lasted over 2 hours, and only about 15 mins of that time was spent waiting (for the optomap machine to warm up). However, i have to take a star off because you only spend about 10 mins with the doctor -- most of the rest of the exam is spent with the office clinician. (She's very nice and seems to know her stuff, but in my 35 years of wearing contact lenses and going to several optometrists over the decades, i've never heard of so much of the exam being performed by someone other than the optometrist.) And i had to take another star off because they don't stock a wide range of contact lens prescriptions for patients to test out (i find i have to go back and forth between a couple of different distance and reading prescription combos before i settle on the one that works the best).

They told me they just don't have the space to stock samples for all prescriptions. but their offices are 17 times bigger than my last eye doctor, and he managed to always have several lenses for me to test out after the exam. (A box of lenses is tiny, honest!) At Hines, i had to wait 5 days for my sample lenses to come in, then i'll have to wait 5 more if i want to sample a different prescription, then i'll have to wait 5 more after i place my order for a years' worth of lenses. That's a lot of my time wasted.

Got hit in the eye with a nail the other day and so I was referred to this eye doctor clinic. From the moment I stepped into this place they made me feel totally at ease even tho I thought I was gonna be blind as a bat for the rest of my days :o( I have been in a few doctors, clinics, hospitals etc over the years and this medical facility overshadows them all.

My eye is still knackered at the moment so this review is not coz I am all happy and mended, its because they all act professional and do their job which seems to be rare in the medical field these days:o) http://www.hines-sight.com/
