Dr Lally herself is great, as was Lauren on her staff. The office receptionist was not friendly, and seemed inconvenienced by my being there. I found them on Zocdoc when I searched for a place nearby to get an annual eye exam. When I asked if I could also be seen for a contact lens exam since I needed a new prescription, she looked at me like I was an idiot and said they were a "retinal center" and that they "do refraction but we don't do contacts or glasses." Thankfully, Lauren had heard the interaction and clarified that they could, in fact, write me a prescription for glasses and contacts. Maybe I'm the idiot, since I didn't know what refraction meant, but my pre-and post-appointment interactions with the condescending receptionist made me feel very unwelcome. I honestly don't look forward to going back, but I will be since Dr. Lally herself was fantastic.
Dr. Lally was direct, personable, and gave a clear explanation of some retinal damage caused by another health issue that I have, due to the wear and tear of aging. I applaud her for her staff and expertise. She is an excellent practitioner.
