Excellent doctor. Great experience would recommend them to everyone
I have been a patient of Dr. Bennett for over 10 years, and I cannot say enough good things about her. She consistently goes above and beyond for her patients, and her level of care is truly exceptional. On multiple occasions, I have reached out to her with concerns, and she has personally taken the time to call me back and provide thoughtful and effective solutions. That kind of dedication is rare and speaks volumes about her commitment to her patients. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also genuinely caring and attentive. I always feel heard, supported, and confident that I am receiving the best possible care. I am so grateful to have her as my eye doctor and highly recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding and compassionate care.
Great friendly staff and Doctor not a long wait to be seen, and conveniently close for me to go.
My experience was amazing! The staff welcomed me with open arms and super friendly staff.
Dr. Bennett is truly one of a kind and, without question, the best optometrist I have ever had. Her level of care and compassion is something you don’t come across often, and I am so grateful that we found her. I first met Dr. Bennett when my teenage son was experiencing severe eye pain after being hit in the eye while playing basketball. As a parent, seeing your child in that much pain is scary, and I was understandably worried. Dr. Bennett was incredibly patient, gentle, and thorough when examining him. She took the time to listen, explain everything, and make sure he was comfortable. But what really touched me was that she called us later that evening just to check on him and see how he was doing. She didn’t have to do that, but she did—and that small gesture spoke volumes about the kind of doctor and person she is. From that moment, I knew Dr. Bennett would be our family’s eye doctor moving forward. Every visit since then has confirmed that decision. She is knowledgeable, thorough, welcoming, and genuinely cares about her patients. You never feel rushed or like you are just another appointment on the schedule. And her staff is just as wonderful. Ana and Isabel are absolutely the best—friendly, caring, and always so welcoming. They make every visit a positive experience from the moment you walk through the door. If you are looking for an eye doctor, I cannot recommend Dr. Bennett and Stratford Eye Center enough. Finding a doctor you can trust with your family’s care is priceless, and I feel very fortunate that we found her. Don’t walk—RUN to see Dr. Bennett! Your eyes will thank you, and you’ll be glad you did. ❤️
The office staff were welcoming, pleasant, and helpful with respect to caring for my mom. They were willing to see that my mom was comfortable and explained her treatment plan going forward. There was time for questions and the visit did not seem rushed. Thank you !
Dr.Bennett was very welcoming and professional. Isabel, the eye technician, was so kind and patient with my elderly mom. Kudos to the entire office for creating such a friendly experience.
