• First I must comment that I have totally benefited from having this care provider. [redacted] I feel so blessed to be cared for at this world renowned facility. I have one blind eye, therefore, I am always quite anxious about my exam. So at the end of my brief appointment, when the Dr asked if I want to go back to an ophthalmologist in NH, I was rather surprised. The expertise matters, not the distance. [redacted] on my own, I sought help at MA Eye and Ear. I have not regretted my decision. I have reveled in it. I am now much improved, thanks to two highly skilled MAEE doctors. I do not want to risk something else getting missed in the future, just to shorten my drive. I am forever grateful! Again, I know she is extremely busy, but I would prefer to continue seeing this provider for as long as it is feasible.

• I expected to get an advice from Dr. Tainsh what the cause is for having double vision and cataract at the same time. I wondered if cataract can sometimes result in double vision. I wish I thought of asking her then. She merely asked me what my priority is to be fixed first. Then she told me to sit in the waiting room and someone will see me about the double vision. I sat in the waiting room, later I was handed a piece of paper and was told that I'm checked out . ???

  2025-11-02
