Dr. Barry is EXCELLENT. Here's why: As a long-time patient during the LASIK-boom, he was skeptical and cautioned patients about both the benefits AND drawbacks of the procedure. When I was interested in the procedure, he spent extra time informing me of why it was popular, what it entailed, and if I was a good candidate. As a contact-lens wearer, he even relayed his own skepticism about it, which was an interesting counterpoint to hear, outside of all the eye doctors pushing the procedure.
As for listening to his patients, another gold star. After expressing my interest in a low-cost disposable contact lens, he recommended Acuvue Advance (from my current Acuvue 2), since he knew it was made out of a more breathable material and was not terribly more expensive than the Acuvue 2. I was pleased with the results and even more pleased with his ability to discuss the benefits without pushing a more expensive line of contact lens at me (which I've experienced at other optometrists).
I highly recommend Dr. Barry as an optometrist that knows A LOT about eye care, the industry, and actually listens to his patients instead of his wallet (or bookkeeper)!
Dr. Barry is an outstanding optometrist. I have seen him a few times over the last few years and my daughter saw him on her last check up as well. His manners are very fun, professional and polite. He is extremely knowledgeable and will give you his honest recommendation based on the research that he does and as if it were his own eyes and not so much out to make a buck. The only complaint that I have is that some of the staff that does the preliminary tests were not so polite and if anything were a bit rude and sarcastic, at one point on my last visit I was tempted to request another assistant. The technology in the office is beyond what I have seen in other offers - in fact he even emailed me a picture of my eye...it's pretty cool ;) There is also a glasses shop that is attached next door to his office that is convenient and they carry good variety of glasses in all price ranges. The spectacle staff were very nice as well. But I do love Dr. Barry, he's worth the few other annoyances that are within the office.
I recently changed to Dr. Mary Coday on the recommendation of another doctor after many, many years with the Eye Clinic of Bellevue. (I finally had it with the Eye Clinic's long lead times for an appointment -- generally six weeks -- caused in part because all their doctors rotate around offices in at least three other locations.)
I got an appointment with Dr. Coday within a week, had a very professional examination by technicians and Dr. Coday, had a follow-up call from Dr. Coday, and received my new contact lenses and glasses within a week to ten days thereafter.
First class service. Highly recommended!
