Patient Reviews

I’ve been a patient there for many many years, and I highly recommend this optometrist practice. Everyone is friendly, helpful and attentive, and the doctors are very skilled. I only have good things to say about them.
Kind, professional, all around excellent. Thank you to the whole team, to Dr. Carroll, and to Matthew. Highly recommend.
A few weeks ago I went to Dr. Bennett for the first time as my previous optometrist retired. While it wasn’t the best appointment due to the findings (retinal tears in both eyes), I was so grateful for her extremely thorough assessment and escalation of the issue to a retinal specialist who the office booked me to follow up with the same day. Her suspicions were true and I had emergency laser surgery that afternoon. She not only provided great care while in her office but also reached out to me later that evening to inquire about the outcome! My great experience was not limited to Dr. Bennett, as she is surrounded by a lovely team of office staff who were so kind and helpful. I would highly recommend this practice for any of your eye care needs.
My family and I absolutely adore Dr. Bennett. She has been able to help me and my family in addressing our eye care needs better than anyone ever has! Her knowledge is extensive and she is incredibly thorough. We will never go anywhere else! The office staff is so kind and welcoming. It feels like a community of friends that makes everyone around them feel comfortable. If you want elite level care and service with heart, congratulations…you have found it here!
Dr. Bennett and the rest of the team was fantastic. I was a new patient but was still able to be seen the next day! Everyone was so welcoming and comforting. I could not recommend Stratford Eye Care enough!
Stratford Eye Care has been monitoring my deteriorating retinas for many years. When I called with a concern, I was taken in immediately without an appointment. I ended up at the eye surgeon and had my tear lasered to stop the vision issue from worsening. It’s rare to been seen immediately these days even for very serious problems. Thank you Thank you!
I had a great experience and would recommend Stratford Eyecare to my family and friends.
Dr. Lisa Carroll is the best. She is meticulous and keeps good notes. She follows your progress over time. She is not one of those doctors who doesn't know where they left off, she follows your progress over time. Unfortunately she is retiring. I will be seen by a new doctor. I just hope she is as meticulous as Dr. Carroll was. Dr. Carroll really cared and I am a little sad because I'm loosing a very good doctor but at the same time, I'm happy for her as well. She deserves to enjoy her retirement.
I have been a patient of this practice for many years and have consistently received excellent care. The office staff has always been friendly and professional.
Great first exam , prescription, frame choices, eye retinal pics and consultation , professional , knowledgeable, and mindful of my time (rare these days. Thanks!
Excellent visit. Didn't have to wait. Friendly environment. Professional care. Dr Bennett very thorough. Treats my entire family!!!
