As botanist, I would say Dr. Helen Wu is like a rare flower in a mystical garden. Her lovely and generous spirit is immediately apparent, as is that of her helpful and knowing assistants. Like a good witch, she dispenses her magic with evolutionary knowledge & expertise. With one look at those shade-throwers … cataracts, she knows exactly what to do to help her fellow garden citizens .. and Voila! With one wave of her wand, we can now see our way back home. And now once again, we can view our lush green world with all its perennial surprise and joys divine. Thank you, Dr. Wu.

As a film maker who needs to be able to focus perfectly, I was aware that my eyes weren't making it anymore. I knew I had cataracts, and had been seen by a local eye surgeon some time ago. I did not feel he was the right person - I was thrown off by his lack of eye contact. I did some research and found Dr. Wu coming highly recommended for cataract surgery. From the moment I made my first appt at NEEC to today, I have had perfect, professional care. When Dr. Wu asked me whether my distance vision was more or less important than my close up vision, I had to say I needed perfect vision for all distances. I was super impressed by the number of eye exams before and after surgery, and the personal attention and care I got with each. Dr. Wu recommended the Panopotix trifocal lens, and Care Credit to pay for this premium lens. I now have PERFECT vision at all distances with my astigmatism a thing of the past. Since the surgery was to occur during COVID< I asked for, and got, an appointment at the surgical site first patient, and was in a room with no more than 5 patients, I had asked for and gotten all personnel who would be near me to wear double masks, and felt safe throughout. I can honestly say that Dr Wu and the NEEC went above and beyond to meet my personal and medical needs.

The New England Eye Center has been such a good experience for me. As a health care worker, I really had nothing to complain about. Dr.Wu is wonderful, she takes as much time as needed to make you feel good about your decisions. The staff are very professional and caring when performing exams. The Coordinator, Christine McMahon was also so professional and helpful.
