Somerset Eye Care

I’ve received two pairs of glasses from Somerset Eye Care. Both pairs were excellent.
I have Horizon NJ Health insurance and it is not accepted. That made the second pair very expensive. However Dr. Lepore from RWJ recommended them and they took very good care of me and the glasses were excellent.

I’ve been to many eye doctors in my life and the people at Somerset Eye Care are wonderful. Dr Shah is one of the most through and patient doctors I’ve seen. I appreciate her professional knowledge pertaining to my office visits.

I had the chance to go to their new location in North Brunswick and it’s beautiful. Very clean and decorated very well. The staff is still so friendly and thorough. I saw Dr. Fishbein and he’s always nice and takes his time with his patients. I would highly recommend this office

I was so happy when my vision coverage changed back to VSP so I could go back to Somerset Eye Care. By far the best doctors and office staff I’ve ever experienced. Friendly, patient and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of eye care. I went for an eye exam on November 1 and needed a contact lense fitting. I was having difficulty finding the right fit/​rx to maximize my vision and returned to the office no fewer than 4 times over the next 6 weeks until I was comfortable with the lenses. Each time I was welcomed back into the office with a smile and received expert treatment to try a new solution. They have an excellent selection of eye wear frames with friendly staff on hand to assist with style selection. Overall, a fantastic experience and highly recommended!

I have been taken care of Dr. Bethany twice and I have now convinced my entire family to come here.
For years, I have always had an eye issue despite having ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision (wouldn’t want to bore you with details), but when I would go to doctors, they wouldn’t really assist the problem beyond a standard check-​up. Thankfully, my insurance changed and I needed to find a new eye doctor when I found this place on Unilocal.
When Dr. Bethany assisted me, she went to the root of the problem and actually diagnosed me. Her knowledge is phenomenal and really tries to educate the patient instead of just giving them a prescription expecting you to trust them. She came up with two solutions: one was vision therapy and the other was glasses. My insurance declined vision therapy so I went with glasses and believe it or not, my eye issue has improved after wearing glasses. I am able to concentrate while reading and I have greater depth perception.
Some of my older cousins with the same condition ended up having to get eye surgery because their doctors failed to recognize what Dr. Bethany did. Scary to think if my insurance did not change, I would be in the same boat. But I am proud to say that I now happily come here and I love their state of the art technology. Can’t say enough good things about Somerset Eye Care.

Very professional care. Very happy with the care I received, would recommend them to anybody

Dr. Bethany & Jonathan are GREAT. They not only are the best eye doctors they are down to earth people who really take the time to get to know you. They caught a cornea /​retina condition I have very early on and it is now very manageable and recommended a great Lasik surgeon too (7+ years since that lasik surgery and I am still ²⁰⁄₁₅ vision). Their staff is very friendly and knowledgeable too. Keep up the amazing work!

The doctors in this office are superb. They are caring, competent, knowledgeable physicians. The equipment is state of the art and examination is thorough and most informative. In addition, The staff are as pleasant and helpful as the doctors. They are helpful with insurance issues and selecting eye glassesI would highly recommend this to establishment for any eye problem one has.

Its only my third time visiting the office, but I am still thoroughly impressed. The staff is really polite and helpful. The Dr explained everything to me clearly and was very personable. I highly recommend to anyone looking for this type of dr.

I ask a lot of questions. I’m very curious about how the world works, and have a job related to light, Photonics. I didn’t know a lot about three nature of the eye though, and Dr Fishbein enthusiastically took extra time to answer all my questions. I had an issue with my insurance, and they were able to navigate through the complexities therein. Great place!

My family including young children have been using Somerset Eye Care for many years and they have always been top-​notch. We have mostly seen Dr Bethany but have also seen Dr Jonathan. Both answer questions and take their time in the visit.
We have our annual eye exams where they worked very nicely with the kids and where they were very accommodating to schedule us together. We have had emergency /​urgent visits where the doctor has seen us with no appointment. We have had emails and phone calls returned for situation where we were not sure how to proceed including during non-​business hours. We’ve had followup emails from Dr Bethany just to see how our child was doing after we had cause to contact her and had already completely treatment with another doctor at an ER.
I trust them with the eye care for all of us. I highly recommend this practice.

Wonderful Dr’s Office! I have been going here for the past several years and have always had a great experience. Everyone in the office is friendly and helpful. They actually go above and beyond to ensure you are satisfied with your visit. Highly recommend.

GO HERE! You’ll be making the best decision for your eyes and yourself!
I recently moved to New Jersey and Somerset Eye Care was recommended to me by my new GP. My first appointment fell during a terrific snow storm, and SEC called me in plenty of time before my eye appointment to make sure I felt safe coming during the snow and offered to reschedule if I couldn’t venture outside. I also received an email confirming that option. This level of care and customer service is exceptional!
During my appointment the staff was kind and courteous as well as very professional. It turns out I had a non-​threatening eye issue but it still unnerved me. Dr. Bethany researched which we now know is a benign birth defect, but she found the information for me and even called me at home to put my fears to rest. Her explanations were easy to understand and thorough and I feel absolutely comfortable asking her questions or for more information.
Their selection of glasses frames is phenomenal and I felt like a model with the specialist who really helped me select the best pair for my face and my personality.
I recently had a semi-​emergency and the office was able to get me in immediately and see to my needs.
Their care and service is unmatched by any other eye specialist I’ve encountered.

Got the wrong directions and then they cancelled my appt when I was late. Get your directions right people, or honor the appointment! Ridiculous!

If one perfect rating after another and every positive review here doesn’t convince you this is THE best optometrist office to go to, you need your eyes examined. Make the appointment already! You won’t be disappointed.

I have been going to another optometrist in the area for the past 5 yrs and although they are very nice people they need to update their equipment. After my son and I were both given incorrect scripts (to strong) that was the last straw!
I decided to go to Somerset Eye Care based on the reviews and I am so glad I did. The establishment is really customer service oriented and has all the updated equipment and technology for eye care. The moment you walk through the doors everyone is so nice, professional and helpful. The atmosphere was pleasant not crowded and I didn’t feel rushed or feel like I was in a large vision center. I was even able to get an appointment on a Sunday, so convenient.
Somerset Eye Care is great and will continue to get our business!

I was pleasantly surprised by Somerset Eye Care. Usually, I have to wait forever to see a doctor at other offices but they saw me right away which was a huge plus! I have no idea how they do it but, I feel like I was really taken care of and did not have to wait long to see a doctor. Not to mention the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and they really do explain things to you in a very clear manner. I am glad that I found this place.

You know how some people work at certain restaurants and end up never eating at that particular chain again because they find out all the dirty secrets by working there? Well, I worked at Somerset Eye Care for a brief time and despite knowing all the ‘secrets,’ I came back to be a patient myself (and will continue to do so!)
Although I didn’t work there for too long, I got to experience patient care and eye care with hand-​picked staff that truly do care about their patients first hand. I knew about all the obstacles we would go through for and with our patients. To be honest, before working at SEC, I didn’t have an eye exam for at least 7 years. (Yikes, I know.)
I went back for their Trunk Show this past Wednesday, got my eyes checked out, and picked out a pair of glasses. It was a little different going back as a patient, but I was comfortable. I knew I was in good hands and that everyone was well-​trained and equipped with the right technology. During the exam, I mentioned that I felt like I was going cross-​eyed and sure enough, I actually kind of am. After some additional testing, Dr. Bethany explained to me what was happening and my options. (Please note: I did not get past Bio 101 in college so she put it all into words I could understand clearly) It’s a great feeling to be able to ask questions about something as important about your eyes and walk out knowing you actually get it!
For anyone who is concerned about insurance, just give them a call! They’ll go over all of your benefits with you. As for me, I’m hoping I’ll have eye exams in my future insurance policies but I know I’ll be going to see them every year, even if I’m paying out of pocket. :)

We have been looking for a eye care doctor for a regular checkup and found Somerset Eye Care through our insurance. After chafing checked the reviews in Unilocal we decided to make an appointment with them. We have been very happy of our visit, very courteous staff, knowledgeable, Doctors are nice and spend a reasonable amount of time reviewing with you the findings of the visit, ready to answer any questions you may have. The clinic is well equipped and the very clean. We will definitively go back.

I am new to the practice due to a move, and thanks to the reviews on Unilocal,I chose this practice. I am truly impressed with Somerset Eye Care! Andrew was the tech who saw me first, such a personable young man with a great «bedside manner»! I sorta freaked when we walked into the first exam room when I thought I saw the glaucoma puff test machine. He assured me it wasn’t and explained to me every test before starting it.
Then I met Dr. Joy. What a pleasure too! I felt at ease like I was hanging out with one of my girlfriends. Though none of my girlfriends pokes and prods at my eyes. After discussing my history of a few traumas to the eyes over the years, I received the most through eye exam I have ever gotten. Makes me wonder what my previous doctors hadn’t done.
Then it was off to check out the eye glasses. The girl was very patient with me while I tried on what seemed like a hundred pairs of glasses. Unfortunately though my insurance barely contributes to them and they were well beyond my budget. They were very understanding and didn’t hesitate to write me my script to go through my Union program.
All in all I will definitely return, and highly recommend this practice.

I’ve been a longtime patient of Somerset Eye Care; excellent doctors and courteous staff are just two reasons for my continued patronage.

Somerset Eye Care is the place for great eye care. I’ve been a patient for abut 4 years now and I’ve had a great experience every time I have been there.
I’ve always seen Dr. Bethany and she is great. She takes the time to listen to my concerns and always offers solutions.
The staff is very professional and friendly.
I would highly recommend Somerset Eye Care to anyone.
