Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I would highly recommend Dr Fessenden and his staff

I would no longer recommend Dr Fessenden tho' I used him for many years as did friends to whom I gave his name. They have had misdiagnosed scripts as have I. The last time I was there neither he nor his office and/or technical staff wore masks. This was in the midst of Covid. I questioned it, requested politely that he and staff wear a mask to no avail. I will not return to that office not will I ever recommend it again.

Great doctor! He found early signs of glaucoma and saved my sight! He is very thorough and makes you feel at ease. His staff is excellent and the glasses he made me are great! Highly recommend

I had an excellent experience- start to finish. Every person I came into contact with during my time in the office was professional and polite. The doctor spent plenty of time with me, and the optician who helped me select a new pair of glasses was amazing- it took so many tries to find just the right pair of glasses, but she seemed to understand that they are more than just a fashion statement- they're an investment! I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for eye care!
