C. Douglas Evans's Online Review Report Card

I strongly discourage you from going to this practice. They messed up on a coding on one of my bills, costing me an outrageous amount of money. They refused to fix it. I was passed around from one employee to another. One employee accused me of asking her to "commit fraud". I had my insurance company call in a three way call and explain what was necessary to fix the problem, only for the young office person to say sorry, that they were not going to change the bill. I asked to speak with the Doctor and was told the doctor does not talk money, he only talks medicine. How can that be when he owns the practice. I was told to write a letter and did; no response resulted. Overall, the worst medical experience ever. The problem is this Doctor has bought the other eye doctors practices and has a little monopoly.

Dr. Evans was rude and disrespectful to my mother when she was diagnosed with Wet Macular Degeneration.

Very professional and knowledgeable Always willing to listen

Before my cataract surgery two days ago, I was literally almost legally blind but now I can SEE thanks to the genius of Dr.Evans! It is without any reservation whatsoever that I recommend Dr. Evans for cataract surgery. I rarely write reviews but I must write one here so others may be helped by this amazingly gifted surgeon. Since a toddler I had severe nearsightedness requiring the wearing of half-inch thick glasses to see. As a teenager, I switched to wearing gas permeable contact lenses but with the passage of time, my vision continued to worsen. Throughout my adult life the numerous ophthalmologists who attended to my eye care all agreed on one thing: that I had the most severe nearsightedness they had ever seen. At age 55, I developed cataracts. At age 60, the cataracts got so bad that I could no longer safely drive and doing my work as a lawyer became more challenging. I needed cataract surgery and was recommended to surgeons in four states to perform the surgery but none was willing. They all told me that I was too risky of a case. At the urging of one of my colleague, I made an appointment to see a certain specialist at Massachusetts Eye but when I told my primary care physician about the situation she insisted that I cancel that appointment and instead see Dr. Evans. Boy am I glad that I followed my primary care physician’s advise. Dr.Evans and his skilled staff showed me great compassion. After listening attentively and having me submit to a series of exams and tests, they told me that they could help me, that they had helped others with similar eye conditions, and Dr. Evans, while unable to make any guarantees, thought my surgical outcome would be transformative. He was totally right! I am overwhelmingly pleased – and frankly still in a state of shock with the outstanding outcome. Immediately after the cataract surgery on my right eye I was able to see without glasses for the first time in my life. And see great! Seriously, all I could say after the surgery was WOW! WOW! WOW! What they did for me was nothing short of a miracle. I now have a new lease on life thanks to Dr Evans. I am forever grateful to him and his wonderful staff and am so looking forward to him performing cataract surgery on my left eye in the next few weeks. Michael Clarizio York, Maine

The worst experience I have ever had in a medical facility.

I had cataracts in both eyes treated with excellent results. He has a great staff and although you will have to wait 2-3 months for your initial appointment, it is worth the wait. My family found Dr. Evans several years ago when my father needed cataract surgery. A doctor friend of his recommended Dr. Evans as "The doctor that doctors go to for cataract surgery". I do not understand the previous negative comments since I found him to be very thorough, answered all my questions, and never made me felt rushed.

Dr Evans has zero concern for patient outcome. The only thing of any importance to him, is maximizing the number of patients that he can see in one day.

This doctor made me wait nearly two hours; there were several other people waiting and another patient with the same exact appointment time as mine. When I explained I was in poor health and this was difficult to me he didn't seem to care. He rushed me along as quickly as possible. Maybe if he was on schedule he would be terrific....but I wont' find out because I don't have that kind of time to spend at the eye doctors.

did cataract surgery for both eyes and laser surgery on the right eye recently.Really knows his stuff.
