It was my first time in the office. The receptionist read the last 4 digits of my social for the whole waiting room to hear. The equipment used for my eye exam looked archaic. I wish I had an exam with updated equipment and a different doctor because my appointment felt rushed. Dr. Weene did not hear my full concerns and my needs were not met.

Love Dr. Weene! Very reliable! Their hours are always consistent. They call you to remind you of upcoming annual exam dates. Great prices & a huge selection if frames upstairs in their optical shop. Always kind and courteous, so long as you show the same respect. They always answer the phone, & you can almost always book appointments to be seen pretty much immediately-within 7-14 days usual max booking out. Best of all is everything RE the entire process behind being a contact lens wearer. Contact lens pricing is fabulous, decent selection, though I have not reviewed variety in selection recently. No ridiculous entrapment contact lens procedures just to charge you or silly random contact lens fees for silly stuff. & they are not offended if you request your paper prescription for glasses/contacts so that you can take to a retailer that might have a specific brand/design or better pricing. They're always quick to respond when those 3rd party retailers request an prescription/updates in prescription info be faxed to them from their office.
....& to my own personal struggles in the past, having never felt I could ever see clearly through my glasses within my glasses field of view as I do through my contacts, I had told that to a few different optometrists @ my big collective health practice in which I see my PCP at as well for many years, to which I only ever received a reply of "this is the prescription equivalent to your contact lens prescription your supposed to have"... Dr. Weene finally adjusted for me. Before I would get glasses just in case I couldn't afford to restock my lenses, but I'd never wear them & I occasionally like to. But I can now!
P.S. They carry a much larger variety & selection of what's been commonly referred to as "MassHealth frames/glasses" (covered by those w/ MassHealth standard coverage) than I have yet to find anywhere else. Thanks for giving economically hardshipped more choices! We appreciate it very much!

I have been a patient of Dr. Weene for several years, I could go to a larger practice, but I am comfortable knowing Dr. Weene knows my medical history. Also, the receptionist is not a jerk--see review posted by J. Gill, she is very nice and helpful. My only complaint would be the limited selection of eyewear.
