Zero should definitely be an option because this doctor literally did zero for me. Wasted an entire hour -mind you after waiting 2 months to be seen by Dr Lee, only to be told he couldn't remove a cyst on my right eye and that I needed to come back (a month or so from today!!) I missed work today to wait for absolutely nothing.

Our team is dedicated to providing friendly and professional service, and we strive to ensure convenience in parking and access for everyone. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!Dr. Brian Solinsky did my cataract surgery in both eyes and surgery went great. He is excellent. However, when I first spoke to him in the office about selecting lenses he 100% said to me insurance will cover this. My expectations after the consultation was I was covered and it wouldn't cost me anything. Fast forward a month after the second eye was done I get 2 huge bills! One was for the "use of the facility" that nobody mentioned, not even Newington hospital when I presented my insurance card and photo i.d. The second bill was from the insurance company which was a surprise also. Then I remembered when I was lying in the bed right before surgery with an I.V. in me and having about 15 eye drops administered in my eye, they came around with papers for me to sign! A HUGE RED FLAG. I have been sending them $100 a month as partial payment, but I think I am going to stop payment all together because I am pissed about the use of facility charge. Patients need to report this to the State Of Connecticut and message Senator Blumenthal about this bullshit.

We understand that billing and insurance matters can be complex and sometimes unexpected charges may arise. Our practice is committed to transparency and assisting with any billing inquiries. We encourage individuals to reach out to our billing department for clarification and support. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.First of all you have to sit in wait in the waiting room for a long time then someone brings you in and then they do the eye testing then they take you out where you have to wait and wait again before you have to see the doctor. Then, the doctor doesn’t know what he’s doing or what you have he can’t diagnose it properly and refers you to another doctor which for me was Dr. Lee and they could’ve done that in the first place and I wouldn’t have wasted an hour in a half sitting there. Then wait another month to book another appointment just to see him. Wasted all my time for a misdiagnosis. And told them that I could have a second opinion. And months back I called to book an appointment for my child and the receptionist was very rude. She had such a horrible attitude was speaking aggressively over the phone and hung up immediately. You should not go here go somewhere else for your well being. The waiting room is literally a JUNGLE. It was packed like sardines. I scheduled many appointments and paid so much co pays just to get a misdiagnosis. How awful.
