This office and these Dr’s do everything rightAfter a thorough eye exam with state of the eye art examination equipment a consultation takes place explaining everything you need to know.The eye surgery takes place in a Surgical Center with same level of professional staff as the Dr’s office.Dr Cartwright and Dr Noecker are top professionals and I am so pleased with my experience and results. Dr Noecker was referred to me and I am most pleased to refer him and Dr Cartwright and their wonderful office.

I can not say enough about how professional, kind and caring everyone I encountered was to me! The nurses and Dr. Stein took the time to not only answer all my questions but also went above and beyond to ease the anxiety I had prior to the procedure. I would HIGHLY recommend OCC, best decision I could have made!

I moved to the area last year and needed a new eye doctor. Previous to this I had only been treated by ophthalmologist so I was a little reluctant to see Dr. Timmons. I was absolutely wrong. My experiences during three visits over the course of the year have been fantastic. The office is clean, well organized, and extremely responsive. I have never had any trouble making an appointment. When it has been an emergency, they have fit me in. Dr. Timmons is thorough spends a great deal of time with his patients, and explains everything so that they are understandable. I have Recommended him to others who have gone to him cents and they have also had an excellent experience. He is extremely competent. He has found issues regarding my eyesight that have never been found in the past and he has proven out to be absolutely correct.

I had very bad experience hereThe staff here do not know how to do their job, I called to make an appointment for my consultation to correct my vision and they didn’t know what it is about. The staff is so rude on the day I visited, No communication. She didn’t say anything, just handed me 5 pieces of paper to fill out and ask me for my insurance card.I met the dr. and he was good. They told me to talk to the coordinator to schedule my appointment for the surgery day. I asked about the cost, she said to call her back and will give me more information. I had to call three times over a week. And they staff always told me to leave her the message but I did not hear from her. No communication about appointments and so non-responsive. I ended up going to the new place which is a lot better!

Review №17

Had an ‘emergency’ need after a freak accident with a tennis ball bouncing off the racquet directly into the eye, causing blood to flow down my left cheek. My first thought was an urgent care center, followed by a hospital emergency room. My second (much better) thought was instead to try to see an eye specialist. Dr. Thimons & his office staff in Fairfield were incredible. I was able to get an immediate appointment with a true professional (Dr. Thimons) who clearly explained what happened, what the implications were of everything he found, and laid out the treatment actions clearly. Who knows what might have happened had I gone to an urgent care center or hospital emergency room initially…if I was lucky, they may have eventually referred me to an eye specialist like Dr. Thimons anyway. NET: I was MORE than satisfied with Dr. Thimons and Opthimalic Consultants of CT and feel extremely fortunate I found them!

Review №18

The staff was very welcoming and my doctor in particular explained my eye health thoroughly. Four stars only because I noticed, probably due to simple inexperience, that when addressing older clients a staff member didnt consider them being hard of hearing which resulted in the patient being unsure. Also the wait to get into my own room was about 45 minutes, not counting the actual meet with the doctor.

Review №19

Very good experience. Dr Timon & his staff were very professional & on time. Everything was explained very clearly to me. Highly recommend the Ophthalmic Consultants. Now....lets talk about the building they are in. IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE AS THERE WAS NO NUMBER ON THE BUILDING! Took 15 minutes of driving around & looking at Map Quest to actually find the building. The building is under construction BUT, there should be some sort of sign on the site (something you couldnt miss) to identify the building.

Review №20

I highly recommend Dr Stein. Last year I had a retina detachment surgery in both eyes. After the long healing process, it is common for a cataract to develop. I was quite nervous about the procedure having a higher risk for another detachment. Dr Stein and his staff were professional, informative and kind. Not to mention the facilities were spotless. Both surgeries went perfectly and my eye sight is better than it ever has been in my life. Im very grateful. Thank you

Review №21

I had very unsatisfying experience at Dr Thimons office. I went for an eye exam including a vision check for glasses. when I looked up my prescription it appeared to indicate that my right eye was the weaker eye. Although my right eye has always been the significantly stronger eye, I searched online and confirmed that the prescription indicated the opposite. I called the Drs office to get clarification on my prescription and was told that Dr will return my call. I did not hear from him. I had to call three times over a week. when I finally spoke to him, he said I needed to come back to redo my vision test. I went back and sure enough the initial prescription was significantly wrong. I would not recommend going to this office.

Review №26

I had very bad experience with these doctors. First, they wanted to operate me for Cataracts which 3 different doctors told me I did not need. I did have cross link surgery and this where my very bad experience is based on. They operated my both eyes before I moved out of state which they knew I was leaving and offered to find a doctor in Florida to follow up. After many calls and messages they gave me a name of an Optometrist which had no cornea experience. I had to find my own doctor and pay for all my follow up. I am worse now than I was before the operation and I have tried to call Dr. Thimons left a message and like many times before and they do not respond. Based my my experience I would never recommend these doctors to anyone.

The nurses and staff went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable, and informed of everything being done at the time of my cataract surgery! They left no questions unanswered! Their knowledge, care and concern made surgery a breeze!The facility is immaculate and during this Covid time I felt extremely safe!! I would highly recommend Dr Stein and his staff for your surgery! He is an excellent Doctor!

Review №35

Horrible experience at Fairfield location today. Did not get to see the Dr. Upon check-in I was handed 5 pages of paperwork. I had a broken shoulder surgically repaired last week, my dominant/writing hand. My arm is immobilized. I asked if there was another way I could provide the information because I was left-handed and would have trouble filling out the paperwork. The person I was speaking to went around the corner to ask someone else and I heard her say he can fill it out with his right hand. I walked around the corner and said, youve got to be kidding me, theres no other way I can provide this information to you? What if someone has a disability, how would they do this? The response was Their aid would fill it out. I just took my insurance card and id and left while saying, or perhaps you could have provided the paperwork in advance, provide it electronically, or let me answer the questions verbally like every other office has been able to do. Ive had multiple first-time office visits in the past few weeks due to the broken shoulder. Very hard for me to politely explain how obnoxious and unnecessarily rude this was. Not to mention how out of line the response to the disability question was.

Review №36

I couldn’t be more pleased with the service given by Dr. Stein and the staff from The consultation process all the way through to completion of getting rid of both cataracts in my eyes. I am ecstatic with my vision and with the return of my freedom to drive at night without headaches and blinding peril. Not needing corrective glasses is more than a bonus result from having this procedure done. I have the utmost confidence in Dr Stein and his staff. They are at the top of their field.

Review №38

I was diagnosed with an eye disease and I wanted a second opinion so I went here to see Dr. Thimons. Last time I went to this office was in 2012 so they had to research my file and get back to me regarding details concerning my case, they NEVER did this and it has been over one month now! I called and called everyday to talk to the doctor and kept getting lied to by reception!!! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! The technician could not operate any of the machinery it took her 20 mins for what should have been a simple pressure check she could not even do it! Dr. Love has horrible bed side manner also. GO ELSEWHERE!!!

The appointments themselves take time and that is expected. But the only complaint is that wait times are usually 45 minutes so a 9:30 appointment doesnt actually start until around 10:15. This can be an issue if you are on a tight schedule

The best team of eye doctors in the entire tri-state area. Their expertise, experience and state of the art technology are equaled only by their friendly and professional care from the moment you enter the office.

It took 4 ophthalmologists over a dozen years before I finally found one whole brought my rampant Glaucoma under control. If you have an unusual or difficult to treat eye condition, Dr. Robert Noecker is your best bet to diagnose and treat your problem. He is fully up-to-date on the latest effective treatment technologies, a brilliant surgeon, and a pleasant and caring individual.

Dr. James Thimons has a knack for continuity and connecting the last visit, which mightve been four or five months ago, with the current one. With a broad knowledge base and cultural savvy, its always a learning experience. Plus his assistants, in this last visit Tequesta, hold up the technological testing end. Outstanding care!

Review №72

My daughter saw Dr. Thimons and was referred by her Ophthalmologist for an ERG. She will be having that soon along with a VEP. She has had progressive loss of vision and is now legally blind. Dr. Thimons was very thorough and already found something concerning on a Spect Domain OCT. We are very relieved to finally have some concrete validation. He was kind and compassionate, not to mention extremely competent. We look forward to going back to finish the testing and hopefully get to the root of her vision loss. The staff was wonderful from front office to the Doctors Assistants and Technicians!

Most professional, attentive to detail, welcoming medical practice Ive experienced in quite some time! Staff and Dr. Thimmons went above and beyond to care and spend time explaining diagnosis, treatment, etc. Would not hesitate to HIGHLY RECOMMEND this practice to relatives and friends alike! THANK YOU ALL for wonderful treatment and service! Don Schultz, who was also treated, completely agrees with the preceding. Dr. Thimmons could not have been more helpful in discussing conditions, treatment, etc.

The Doctors I’ve saw there are kind & understanding. They will take the time to listen to any questions you may have, & any symptoms you have. There never rush you out to get to another patient! The doctors I’m talking about is Doctors Donnenfeld. Timmons, & Dr. Love. God Bless you all & Wish you Happy Holidays & A Healthy New Year!“Mel” 😍

Review №79

Service is not their forte. Last visit they charged me for 2 co-pays. I have only been there twice. I asked why and they said, maybe we didnt charge you the first time?Well, maybe you should look into that??This am at 9ish, I received a call to change my MAY follow up. It is my busiest day of the year and I explained my calendar was at work so maybe you could call me back next week since there is plenty of time to reschedule. I was told that I need to call them back to reschedule......hmmmI mention the double copayment and the person argues that I did not have time to reschedule, but I could bring up an accounting issue....hmmmI am the patient in this situation and would be appalled if my service was anywhere near this level.Time to get the training manual out for customer service and maybe review it.Happy Thanksgiving.

I had a small piece of metal in my eye,practically undetectable but very painful .It wouldn’t wash out with eye wash. So I went to Dr. Timmons. He knew exactly what to do, found it on my upper eye and extracted it painlessly. I’m so glad I went to Dr. Timmons. He said it would’ve been inflamed and infected had I let it fester over the weekend.( I waited four days trying to flush it out myself but it was stuck to my eyeball.)I highly recommend Dr Timmons. He’s thorough, highly skilled and just an all around nice guy.

I selected Ophthalmic Consultants for my first eye exam since turning 60 because I had observed their gentle and thorough care of my 87 year old mother. And I am very glad I did!

Review №95

Waited for an hour and a half just to be seen after my confirmed appointment. After being seen, the ONE doctor made no real intention to pay actual attention to the client. He wanted to just be in and out with no real care. He left everything unclear on my diagnosis and paid no importance to what the real problem was. After I left, my eye felt no different nor any better, I made a number of calls weekly to the office to get a better understanding of my diagnosis but the receptionists kept saying that they had left a note on his desk and it was still there and he will call back. Its been a month with no call back. Eyes are a serious problem and should not have to be calling every week to get an update and still not get one!!

Dr Thimons and Dr Noecker have been beyond wonderful. Went through a difficult incident, an emergency followed by a poor medical procedure with a different doctor, and was fortunate to find Dr. Thimons and Dr. Noecker who came highly recommended by a physician friend and also by someone else that deals professionally with many doctors in the NE/NY area. Their skill, knowledge, professionalism, thoroughness and kindness are outstanding. Im grateful to have found them.
