I was referred to this group by my eye doctor, every appointment has been called and rescheduled and there is a 2 or more hour wait to see a dr.

I absolutely LOVED my experience at this office. Jessica and Jessica really set the tone with their amazing customer service and professionalism. They were comforting, super friendly, and patient. I was referred to the Trumbull office for a same day emergency visit, which was very stressful for me, but the staff was able to relieve a lot of my anxiety. I got all of the answers I needed and left feeling 100 times better than when I walked in. I truly am happy that I was referred to this office.

I was recommended to New England retina and I don't think I'll ever look back! What a great facility. Not only was the staff at the front desk patient and helpful but the doctors truly eased any concerns I had. Fantastic customer service and everyone was personable. Absolutely amazing. I have already referred 4 of my girlfriends! Highly recommend.

I had such a wonderful experience at this office. From the women at the front to the care I received from the doctor. They are on it!

First and last visit to this group. Both Jessicas at the front desk are fabulous, as is Anna who does the photos. Neither Linda or Dr. Huang should deal with the public. Both were equally rude and condescending with no interest in patient care whatsoever. If you're interested in being heard as a patient or being treated kindly or with respect, look elsewhere. I will be definitely getting a second opinion since 3 people had contradictory information in the same visit.

I can't wait to read the notes in my chart and compare that with the word salad out of Dr. Huangs mouth. It's more like a fast food establishment- getting people in and out as quickly as possible, but they weren't even good at that.
