Reviews of Delaware Ophthalmology Consultants (Optics Shop)

Rose Willard

Everyone was so nice and welcoming! This was my 8 yr old son's first visit and they were very good with him!

Karen Pinsky

Highly recommend. The doctors and techs are professional and warm. I’m a big fan of Dr. Young whom I saw for the first time yesterday. He’s stuck with me! Also the opticians are terrific and they have a great selection of frames.

Michelle Provencher

Due to an old eye injury, it was important to me to find a really good eye doctor. I went here today and had a perfect experience. I arrived 5 minutes before my appointment time, filled out 2 pieces of paper, and then they were ready to see me - right on schedule! I saw Dr. Turano - she was very thorough in examining my eyes and had good info for me. Most importantly, I thought she was easy to talk to! Everyone in the entire office was friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend DOC.

Marilyn McNeill

I have been a patient for about 18 years. I love the staff and they make you feel comfortable from check in to discharge. Dr. Able is very caring, but most of all he is hilarious! I would recommend this practice for the whole family.

Teresa Harris

Dr. Barrett and Sandy were amazing. They explained everything to me in great detail, helped to understand and answered all of my questions! Great people and wonderful customer service.

LOVE this practice - I would not go anywhere else for eye care. Dr. Abel is amazing - his knowledge is incredible, and his guidance wonderful - he really put me at ease with regard to some concerns I had. Other staff is also amazing - greeted warmly the moment I walked in the door and that continued the entire rest of the visit. Wait time was very reasonable too. HIGHLY recommend Delaware Opthalmology Consultants!

Hattie Kirton

I came to Delaware Ophthalmology consultants with a very serious eye inflammation problem. Under the watchful eyes of Dr J Kaplan and a treatment plan my vision is very good.

Leslie Armor

Dr. Wolhagen is the absolute best! You always feel like you are her only patient and she throughly explains everything she is doing.

Joan Sabbato

As always this was a totally professional operation from the front to the back.

Barrelhouse Music

Thorough examination from a great Dr. and staff!

D Oldham

Just went for my eye check up and was in and out in less than 40 minutes. I was treated professionally from beginning to end. I am very satisfied with Dr. Lebowitz’ current care and also especially his treatment of a serious problem I had several years ago. I do not hesitate to recommend this practice to my friends or family.

Nancy Poplos

Wonderful staff and Dr. Able is the best. Very thankful we have them here in Middletown!

Stephanie Sarah

I’ve never been to an eye doctor before so I was nervous. It was a pleasant experience. The staff was friendly and the doctor was very nice. I didn’t have to wait long. Everything went very smoothly.

Ida Tursi

I had an eye appt with Dr. Sarah Nowicki after the exam she told me that I would need to see Dr. Andrew Barrett. So we made an appt with him, & he explained everything to us as to what he would do for the surgery. He was so wonderful explaining everything to us. Also his assistances were so good letting us know, exactly what I needed to do before surgery. What a wonderful Dr. & office staff.

Diane Arvey

Dr. Lebowitz is knowable and kind. The staff is friendly and efficient. I was taken immediately and did not have to wait to see the doctor. Highly recommend!

Dawn Namulik

It was the perfect experience. From the front desk right through the visit with the Dr. Jamie W. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Would 100% recommend.

Judy Lynn

Everybody at Delaware Opthalmology is easy to communicate with. Dr. Barrett staff are all well trained and makes you very comfortable with their processes. Dr. Barrett is just wonderful. I would never consider going anywhere for my eye care. Thank you. B !!!!!!!!

John Drysdale

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Abel for many years. Had surgeries performed by both he and his son, Ari, over the years. Both of them are the best! The office staff and optometry staff are knowledgeable, very efficient, friendly and provide excellent customer service. I would not want to go anywhere else.

Lorraine Rocco

WOW! Dr Young is extremely knowledgeable and personable. He explained everything in a way I was able to understand. His assistant Jennifer was also super friendly and kind. Everyone there is great! Thank you all.

Going to Delaware Ophthalmology is always an appointment I enjoy. You're always treated with respect and are given the best service. I know my eyes are in good hands with the Doctors and Staff at DOC.

Rick Pecorella

Dr. Wohlhagen is thorough, friendly and everything you could want from a Doctor. The staff is professional and skilled.

Khalid Rajab

Everything was great but the front desk need more training on how to handle new Clients. But the techs and the Dr. we’re so welcoming. Would recommend to anyone. It’s worth the drive.

Corinne Villegas

I've been a patient of Delaware Ophthalmology for years and have always had a good experience during my visit (most oftentimes seen by Dr. Abel). I will continue on going.

n beaudet

What a delight! Everyone in this office was absolutely helpful and welcoming . From being greeted at the counter to the clinical staff right through to my selection of frames.

Tom D

A near perfect visit . Friendly staff and very knowledgeable informative Doctors ... Thank you !!

Schochs Love Cats Schoch

Saw Dr Nowicki and she was excellent with my daughter Our appointment was at 315 and we were taken back exactly on time. Entire staff was very friendly. Very pleased with our visit

Kim Figgs

Always a great experience at DE Ophthalmology. Dr. Wohlhagen is so good with kids of all ages. The eye glass section is also a nice place to stop. The ladies there were all so helpful with trying on glasses to calling vendors to see if we could get a certain color. Check in and check out desk was also very helpful with answering my question about insurance and about the wonderful doctors in the office.

Kevin Gross

Great experience every time. The staff is wonderful and Dr. Barrett is a superb physician. The office is extremely well managed to the benefit of patients.

Paige Smolka

Only 4 stars because of long wait time. But the staff there is very friendly, helpful, and flexible. The office is also very clean and welcoming.

chris geringer

Very well run practice. Very positive experience.

Wally Wikoff

Professional, experienced and friendly staff. I was very satisfied with the exam and service.

Jeannine Daniel

The office staff at Delaware Ophthalmology is professional and friendly. Dr. Abel himself is very knowledgeable, smart and kind. An added bonus is his great sense of humor, which in many cases can help to put the patient at ease. I look forward to my visits to Delaware Ophthalmology.

Karen Rabik

Absolutely the best doctors, staff, knowledge and customer service! Have been going here about 18 years, my mom was also a patient and my husband. Have had lasik with Dr. Barrett and now cataracts! This is the only place for best eye care in Delaware! I have also gone to Wills Eye in Philadelphia and Delaware Opthamology ranks right up at the top!

Kristin Davis

I would not recommend the Silverside Location. My first impression was "assembly line"! I was there for nearly 2 hours for a basic annual eye exam and contact fitting. No one I encountered seemed very happy or helpful. The doctor wasn't even polite enough to look me in the eye upon introduction. There was no interest in making any connections, and overall communication was poor. It really seemed all about sales. During the time I was there I was also able to witness interactions with many other individuals, as well. There seemed to be many people "with concerns or issues", having been overcharged, or addressing errors in some way. As an individual who takes care of my "senior" parents, I didn't appreciate the way the senior patrons were being treated. There seemed to be a lack of consideration or patience, and again, poor communication. Saying something very loudly to an older individual isn't a way to help them understand what you're saying. It's just disrespectful. I will not be returning to this location.

Jasen Bechard

Very nice place, great assistants and a doctor to match!! Would definitely be referring this place to my friends and family!

Karen Babcock

I just can't say enough about the excellent experience I had with everyone I encountered. I have been going to Delaware Ophthalmology Consultants for over 20 years and it's always the same. They have the best people being the best professionals.

Diane Cullen

Dr.Abel is the best .Staff always pleasant and professional .Highly recommend this practice.

Marie Nestor

Top doctors. Excellent care and concern for patients.

Jennifer Stillabower

I would follow Dr Barratt anywhere! He is the best! The gals in the optical area are wonderful and so helpful in choosing frames. No place better in Delaware.

Sharon Kinney

I've been going to Delaware Ophthalmology Consultants for 15 years and have seen a variety of doctors. All are extremely attentive to the patients needs and go out of their way to ensure the patient understands what is being done and what treatment is needed. Their optical department while expensive, they are thorough and have a good selection. Several of the employees are not overly knowledgeable or pleasant and unfortunately the one person, Courtney who was both knowledgeable and pleasant left about a year ago. Even so I like my doctor and will continue to use DOC.

Sharon Hopkins

Dr. Abel is kind and down to earth. He offers great advice as well. The office staff is wonderful!

Peggy Bundek

This is the best place to go for any eye surgery. The staff is so attentive and kind. Dr. Barrett is a kind, very knowledgeable and very considerate doctor. I highly recommend them.

Tim Wilson

Very Pleased! I have gone to DOC for regular vision check-ups, and now cataract removal. The services have been very professional and efficient. I am very happy with them, especially Dr. Harry Lebowitz, opthamologist and surgeon.

Marie Snyder

I think this office does a superb job. From start to finish, they are great!

Jacqueline Gilliam

Loved the experience. A friendly professional environment and staff who provided all the necessary information and instructions in a clear and concise manner.

Jacinta Terry

Beautiful office, pleasant atmosphere and awesome staff.

Dwayne Johnson

Efficient staff. Appreciated the expertise of Dr. Barrett as well as the young lady who did the preliminary exam.

Roxana M. Alexander

Dr. Angela Pellagrini is the Ophthalmologist for both my husband & myself. She is thorough and takes time to explain what she's testing and doing; very knowledgeable and reinforces the importance of eye health/care. She's always pleasant, upbeat, spunky & joyful. Our appointments with her are always great!!❤

Claude Newton

Very satisfied with the Doctors and the admin staff. Recommendations to everyone.

Linda Poole

No matter what your eye concerns are, there is a competent specialist within the practice who will see you. I have been a patient with Dr. Kaplan, Dr. Barrett, Dr. Myers and Dr. Young for various conditions. Each doctor was thorough, supportive, and knowledgeable. Every staff member I have interacted with has been very pleasant and helpful. I strongly recommend DOC to anyone of any age who needs visual care.

Louis Marciniszyn

Professional staff very courteous addresses all concerns and questions

Courtney Messina

Run like a well oiled machine. Dr Young is very nice

Helen Jackson

The staff are friendly & proficient. Dr. Abel is highly intelligent, very knowledgeable & very personable. He listens carefully & treats you with great respect.

Bob Collins

Was greeted by the receptionist was seen on time and Dr. Pellegrini took her time explained everything resulting from the exam. I highly recommend Delaware Ophthalmology and especially Dr. Pellegrini.

Jim Brown

Appointment was kept on time. Everyone was nice and very professional. Dr. Young was excellent as usual. Highly recommend.

Sandy Kimble

Friendly receptionists; nice lady in eyeglass center asked if she could assist me; she adjusted my glasses while waiting. Was a very short wait for Dr Jennifer Turano who is awesome. Scheduled eye exam with her later this month. Her assistant equally pleasant .. great appointment experience.

Rose Rigdon

The doctors answer all questions honestly, with sincere concern for the patient's fears.

Kim Kane

I've been seeing the doctors at DOC for five years after my other eye doctor couldn't help my eye issues. Dr. Wolhagan and Dr. Stewart are extremely nice and knowledgeable. They explain what they are doing as they are doing it. The techs and desk staff are also nice. I don't think I've had an appointment start at the appointment time, usually wait 10 to 20 mins to be seen. Exams go about an hour if eyes are dilated. Longer if you need to buy glasses too.

Arthur Goldman

Always a professional staff and friendly too. One suggestion : as you leave, the patient might receive a paper stating 1) procedure and eye care for the next few hours and 2) what procedures were done. We are made to fill out numerous pages when we arrive but leave with nothing

Kathleen Malatesta

The staff behind the desk are very friendly and helpful! Dr. Nowicki is excellent! She explained everything she was doing in detail. She willingly and patiently answered all of my questions and addressed my concerns. I would highly recommend this office!

Lauren Kettner

Very fast, clean and helpful! Explained everything throughout the process and answered all my questions. Everybody was nice and had a smile. Will recommend to others!

David Sirkin

The staff truly keep your best interests in mind before, during and after your eye exam. No detail was overlooked and I have material to review prior to my next visit

Jean Roeth

Love their new offices...very spacious and we'll appointed! Dr. Young is the best! He is a great doctor and always has time to listen to you and any questions you have about your vision. And the staff is efficient and funny!

Manny Kornbluth

Extremely friendly and helpful doctors and staff. The are very thorough. I highly recommended this office.

Kathy

Staff is friendly and competent, and always makes you feel special and respected. The doctors are the best! The office is bright, clean, and outfitted with the latest equipment. I’d definitely highly recommend to anyone.

Jack Dorsey

Very courteous and efficient staff. Dr. Perry was incredibly nice. Her assistant Lauren was equally pleasant and reassuring during my visit.

Charles Weikle

Just had a cataract out yesterday and dr Barrett was fantastic. I can see clearly now I’m amazed that it was painless and after eye drops it took on 12 minutes to do This office is pure professional clean and polite office plus dr Able on my follow up was excellent. Thanks for everything

Tony Pettoruto

Friendly staff and quick service. I highly recommend Delaware Ophthalmology Consultants

Eileen Holtz

I'm very impressed by the efficient and professional way this practice treats their clients. Dr Barrett performed two cataract surgeries in two weeks and I have been very satisfied with the results. 20/30 vision after years of wearing glasses, then bifocals. Now I need reading glasses only and am free of the nusiance of glasses. I also saw a dramatic difference in the colors of the world! Glasswear that appeared "brown" turned out to be purple. I was told over and over that I was "blind!" though I was positive I was right. I wasn't. I can watch a movie and the colors are much brighter and I don't have to wear glasses. Thank you Dr Barrett and company. You are the best.

Selena Woody

I like the doctors and the staff at the front desk, they are very pleasant. I like my doctor because she is very thorough.

etomi .

My experience with Delaware Ophthalmology Consultants has always been very positive. The staff are courteous, friendly and efficient, and the doctors are expert, thorough, knowledgable and professional. I am pleased with the treatment I have received there and wholeheartedly recommend this practice.

Deb Krawczyk

Very friendly and comfortable. They stay pretty close to schedule so you don't have to wait a long time. My cataract surgery results were great.

Carolyn Vernon

I was greeted at the front desk by at least 2 staff. I was 10 minutes early for my appointment and your staff alerted others that I had arrived. I was escorted to my Visual Field promptly. I had a very short wait to see Dr. Barrett. The appointment went smoothly and efficiently.

Lorraine Smith

Although the staff was very polite the glasses they made for me were very expensive and didn’t work. I explained over and over my issues with both lined bifocal and no line bifocal glasses in the past but they assured me they would find a fit that worked. I paid over $400.00 for glasses without concern after being assured if they didn’t work out they would work with me to get glasses that worked. After trying to make the glasses work for a few weeks I returned to see what they could do. At this point they asked a very important question and THEN told me that these glasses would NEVER work for me. Not sure why they never asked that question first??? The only resolution was to get reading glasses?? REALLY I purchase reading glasses all the time at the dollar store so of course I wanted to know what kind of refund they were going to offer me. NONE!!! Basically I feel like they ripped me off charging me over $400.00 dollars for a pair of dollar store reading glasses. Be very careful before you purchase their expensive glasses. The important question they asked AFTER I paid for the glasses was “Do you get motion sickness”. If the answer is yes then apparently bifocal glasses won’t work for you. Maybe they should start with that question but then they wouldn’t be able to collect all that money from their patients. Great staff there. They smile so nice while they rip you off!!!

Sue Lesperance

Everyone was so nice and knowledgeable. Took their time and didn’t feel rushed. Love this office!!

Peggy B

I have only the best to say about the Delaware Ophthalmology Consultants. The office staff is very friendly and courteous and always willing to accommodate you when making appointments. I’ve been seeing Drs. Abel and Barrett and they have taken excellent care of my eyes. They are very professional, friendly and I feel very confident going to them.

Joanne Carson

Very hospitable and professional staff. Comfortable environment. I did my research even though it was my family doctor’s recommendation, and the center surpassed my expectations. I would highly recommend.

Leon Walbert

Awesome staff, friendly, helpful and polite. The process from making your appointment to having a chance to get an earlier appointment from cancellations is easy and convenient. I strongly recommend anyone needing eye care make an appointment with these folks. Dr. Pellegrini is awesome!! She’s patient and explains your eye health in a way you understand. Won’t go anywhere else…

Brian Orsetti

The service is friendly and amazing! Great Doctors who do a great job and explain everything.

Dr. Greta Steinbach-Wallis is outstanding helping her patients understand proper eye care including contact lense care. She’s been my doctor for many years. In addition, the DOC team is very helpful and welcoming.

Catherine Hendren

Everything went well from entrance to office til handing in papers. All we're friendly and welcoming. Thank you again. 10

Frank Jost

One of my cataract implants grayed out some after eight years which just happens in some cases. Dr. Lebowitz fixed it same appointment in-office with a YAG laser capsulotomy. Correction in vision just about instant, same afternoon. Wow!

Judy Ratcliffe

I have been going to DOC for over 20 years. I love all of the doctors & eyeglasses professionals. In particular, Dr. Jamie Wohlhagen my favorite optometrist/ophthalmologist in my life & Amanda has been creating my glasses for years and years. I have a lot of problems with my eyes: nearsightedness, crossing eyes, cataracts, & my tear ducts clog. The biggest problem is my crossing eyes. My eyes require special prisms to uncross my eyes. Dr. Jamie has a special expertise where she physically “builds” my glasses. It is not just a special prescription. It is truly a suitcase with lots of lenses & special prisms she adds on physically to create a special type of glasses, just for me. Amanda in the glasses department understands my eye requirements, and helps me choose just the right glasses to match my special conditions. My tear ducts constantly clog. I see Dr. Abel who uses some type of needed to release the clog magically. DOC has 3 locations. I first lived in N. Wilmington and went to the Silverside Rd. location. Then I moved to Newark and went to the Limestone Rd. location. I recently moved to Middletown, DE where they also have an office. All the same doctors and staff are available at all 3 locations. As I said, I have been a patient here for over 20 years. If you are looking for an eye doctor’s office for typical prescriptions or for unusual problems, I highly recommend Delaware Opthalmology Consultants. A++++++++

carol wiggins

Moving locally from the West Coast, I’ve had great difficulty finding the same level of excellence in all aspects of medical care, having to make changes frequently from awful experiences! Dr. Abel was an early first choice for my eye care and has been beyond excellent from the get go! Not only a great doctor, but awesome human being!!!

Judi Bryskiewicz

I had a wonderful experience at DOC. The Limestone office was bright and airy and the staff was very friendly and competent. The assistants were excellent and Dr. Turano was very personable and she explained everything so that I could understand. I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Jennifer Turano.

John Looney

My first experience at this office was pleasant. Everything was well planned and executed. Staff are. helpful and friendly.

Tiffany Green

Great experience! Was given an evening appointment for convenience and was seen in a very timely fashion. I was also helped with selecting new frames and the ladies were all very helpful, friendly and patient!

Shelly Kendrick

The eye doctors here are top notch! When I first moved here, I had a surgery to correct my eyelid with one of the doctors here. We love Dr. Jamie - she is so thorough with the regular glasses and contacts exams and the prices are decent. The whole family has been coming here for about 5 years now!

sam galt

Dr. Stewart's the best.

William McTigue

Just had a complete eye exam. Very high level of service. Everyone involved was professional, helpful and pleasant.

Jeff T.

I've been there three times in the last few years and I am happy all around with the staff and wait time.

angelin tucker

Delaware Ophthalmology is one of the best places in Delaware for healthy vision. Dr. Abel was able and willing to assist me with the concerns I had . This office front desk were kind, polite and customer service was professional and great! The assistant was very kind and knew her stuff! Dr. Abel called me yall to assure that I understood, this doctor is the best I've ever encountered. Go get your eye exam, pick out some chic peepers and be calm, happy and supported while you do it. I hope this helps someone.

DJ Ferguson

The office is very nice, open area. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Ardeshir Faghri

Dr. Tabassum Ali is, without a doubt, the best ophthalmologist I have ever visited in my more than fifty years of having seen at least 5 ophthalmologists for my eye problems. She is honest, thorough and caring. She explains everything thoroughly and listens to you patiently. I recommend her to anyone with eye problems. You will not be disappointed.

Susan Short

First cataract surgery this week. The idea of having someone in my eye with a sharp object had me on the ledge and ready to jump!!! Dr. Barrett and the surgery center nurses and techs held my hand, talked me off the ledge. Ended up being a piece of cake, just as they told me AND I'm seeing GREAT out of that eye. Can hardly wait to get the other one done. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart (especially the hand holding❤). Can't imagine going anywhere else.

jb painterman

I enjoy going here for my eye exams They are very thorough with all they do Very nice and answered all my questions

C money and C Funny

Not your typical doctor’s visit where they make you wait an hour before seeing you. Delaware Opthamology Consultants were organized, friendly, professional, and on their game. I had very little wait time, and the patient process was on point. I really enjoyed my doc and the office was clean and inviting. I highly recommend!!

Rae Stabosz

Second visit, this one for pre-op instructions and scan for upcoming cataract surgery. I'm bad remembering names, so look up who went over the pre-op stuff with me because she gave me the clearest understanding of how the eye works that I've ever had. The woman who did the scan was personable and kind. Great place. Ellen Lafferty gave me the original recommendation . I will be following suit.

Paul Pinson

Convenient, full service eye health provider.

Brenda Marciniszyn

Delaware Opthamology is the only place I would trust with my eyes and vision. I have been going to Dr. Barrett for many years. Delaware Opthamology can be trusted for excellence, honesty, and great knowledgeable care. I highly recommend Delaware Opthamology.

Melissa Rhodes

The receptionist was friendly, the assistant was very sweet and Dr. Turano was very nice, patient and thorough with her exam.

Rebecca Donahue

Thank you, Delaware Opthamology Consultants. Dr. Barrett is competent and caring. I was experiencing rapid visual deterioration, and he spent a great deal of time investigating my issue. He figured out the problem and performed cataract surgery yesterday. I have full confidence in his ability as a physician.

Marie Daunno

Everyone is pleasant and professional. Well run office from a patient's perspective. Thanks for what you do.

Duke Neumann

Welcoming attitude from women operating the reception. Techs were efficient, well trained, and customer oriented. Doctor (Jamir W} was thorough and willing to explain the whole process. She was a good active listener. This office exhibits great competence and is making a conscious effort at client-centered care. I saw it and felt it.

clarence hermansky

Very nice and knowledgeable group who make the time for you; no rush and truly concerned for your wellbeing.

Margaret Hassel

The staff and Opthalmologists are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. It’s also incredibly convenient to schedule an appointment. Other offices sometimes have limited appointments available. I have never encountered any issues with the Middletown office.

Jenyne Ward

We see Dr. Wohlhagen and she is fantastic! Amazing with kids and adults alike! We will always highly recommend her!

sharon russell

Dr Turano is fantastic! She was so very kind and through. meeting with me numerous times to get my contact prescription just right and my 88 year old father she was wonderful with him. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a doctor who makes you feel like you matter and not just a number.

Joan Robertson

Love Doctor Abel he is practical, answers questions clearly. Lays out options and honors your Choice.

Mike McFadden

Today was my first visit and the service was outstanding from the front desk all the way to the end.
