Dr. Jonathan Stein
317 Foxon Rd,
East Haven, CT

I love my upgraded vision! My experience is that Dr Stein is an expert in his craft. He came highly recommended by my Optometrist who had his eyes cataracts removed by Dr Stein and assured me he was the best in the state. He answered all my questions, and concurred with the assessment of my optometrist who said I have Cataracs right in the middle of my vision. He was able to explain the different options of treatment in a way that I could easily understand and assured me that he does 35 to 40 procedures in one day. He does surgery on Thursdays each week. His staff was always very nice and professional. When I went in to get my surgery, we were stacked up like sausages on our beds all in a row. Lol! And the nurses were really wonderful. I felt taken care of and confident that I was in the right hands. I healed quickly and I feel great. It’s been 3 months and since I got lens inserted I don’t have to wear glasses anymore. And everything is so clear and bright. I’m so glad I went to Dr. Stein.

Very poor level of communications. Basically insensitive. Machine-like. Concerns expressed about significant eye scratchiness discomfort following laser removal of cataract were met with explanation that this is not unusual. However, I don't recall being warned of this during pre-surgery. Be aware and make sure to consider options cataract surgeons before making a final decision.

Very rude and had no bedside manner. I had both eyes done. First surgery went well. Second surgery the new lens was placed incorrectly causing my sight in my left eye to be blurry. I went back several times to hopefully correct my vision and he was rude each time. I ended up going to a different eye doctor who was told by Dr Stein there was nothing I could do because I could go blind if they tried surgery again.

I would never go to him again. I had two lenses put in. I told him when the second one was done that it didn’t look right, I couldn’t see correctly. He just dismissed it and said that’s normal. just give it some time. Had a follow up with …

Dr Stein did hours of tests and then told me to have surgery in my left eye. However, when I tried to schedule, I could never reach the surgical coordinator. After about 3 months, the office told me they had replaced the surgical coordinator, and to come back to see Dr Stein. I did, and he then repeated the same tests, and billed my insurance again for the same tests. Then, the new surgical coordinator sent me surgical papers. They listed the WRONG EYE for surgery, and the WRONG SURGICAL CENTER. Luckily I caught their mistake or I'd have been scheduled to have the wrong eye operated on!  So, then the surgical coordinator sent me corrected surgery papers, which I signed and returned. Dr Stein then called in my pre-surgery meds on time 5 days before the surgery, and I started taking his pre-surgery prescriptions. Then, the day before the surgery, the office told me on the phone that he cancelled the surgery, with no explanation or even apology! The office staff was extremely rude throughout, and told me at the last minute that Dr Stein cancelled the operation, and provided no explanation or directions from him as to what to do
