Very good Doctor found my eye problem, Needed to get surgery to fix, I don't recommend buying glasses from them My RX glasses were $450.00. All she did was put my RX into the computer. I did the same thing from home and my glasses with clip on sun glasses were $98.60

Brattleboro Family Eye Care is amazing! The staff is so friendly and genuine. I have had amazing service here. Everyone is super knowledgeable, professional in their presentation and caring in their approach. The glades featured in my review pic are by Dragon. I was so stoked to find eyewear made from recycled material. Ive been wearing glasses since grade school and these are by far the most comfortable glasses Ive ever had. Thank you Brattleboro Family Eye Care for your awesome service! Ill be a patient there for as long as I live in this area!

Dr. Cotter. Garbage. This office? Garbage. Let me be clear in that this does not apply to the staff, but an office is not just their staff. I don't say this lightly, I have found an office in Keene, New Hampshire that has done me wonders and cleared up my vision the way this office never seemed to have been able, even after so many appointments that I lost vacation time with my job. I was a patient of these guys for years, I gave them the benefit of the doubt time and time again, but they proved themselves to be consistent failures. You should be put out of business. Choose for yourself, last review

Dr. C and the Brattleboro Family Eye Care staff are simply the best! We've been really happy with our experiences. He takes the time to make sure you get a thorough exam - this isn't just a "here's your prescription, now go" place. The glasses selection is awesome, too - always changing, always new styles, and staff are super-helpful for fashion-indecisive people like me!
