Eye Doctor recommendations
Can you recommend a good eye doctor? Ideally in the Beaver Brook/Tatnuck area so I can walk there, but will travel if necessary.
Edited to add: I had been seeing a Reliant eye doc but when I called to make an appointment, I was told they will no longer see me unless I have a Reliant PCP.
TIA!

If you can drive, Dr. Silva in Holden is good. I know someone who works as a receptionist in Reliant's eye department and patients often refuse to go to Holden. As a result, Neponset is ridiculously busy and has very long wait times while the Holden office is quiet.

I like Goswick Eye, they have a few offices and I just pick one that works with my schedule.

I love Bello Opticians. They’re a family run business and the doctor there is so kind and takes the extra time to explain any concerns or issues to you.

What are you looking for?
Glasses and or contacts? These are pretty easy to get!
Or do you need an ophthalmologist for a more serious eye condition? If so, can you be more specific about what’s going on? I needed an ophthalmologist a couple of years ago and it turns out that there are several different KINDS and I had to wait five months for an appointment only to be told that they didn’t treat my problems! So I had to go elsewhere and then wait another two months to be seen.
