My first visit was great and I felt at ease with their COVID protocols in place. I've also never had tests or results explained to me so thoroughly before and I really enjoyed it. Both Dr. Koumijan and Nicole were awesome! Love that I found such a great place so close to home.

Karen has been my OD for many years. This visit showed some significant changes in my sight. She diagnosed it clearly and precisely and set up a plan of action for me.

Dr K was kind, caring and gave my ten year old daughter a very thorough exam. My daughter has trisomy 21 and the Dr and staff are open and inclusive to her needs . We love Watertown eye!
January 21, 2020Mageerei S.Verified patient
I had a great visit. The office staff were excellent and helpful in finding frames and settling my payment. I certainly felt pressured by Dr Koumjian to have additional and costly scans done. I would have preferred to been contacted ahead of time and been told the options, recommendations, and prices rather than being surprised during the exam.

She’s wonderful
January 13, 2020Kathy F.Verified patient
This was my first visit with Dr. Koumjian and I was pleased with her consultation. She took the time to introduce the procedures she suggested and explained in detail her findings. The office staff seems to be very nice and supportive of any questions you might have.

Very professional Doctor. Outstanding service.
November 23, 2018Kamal R.Verified patient
Dr. Koumjian was excellent and the only reason why I had a short wait was because I was early and an emergency appointment came in, which is completely understandable.
The staff was super friendly and explained the various tests and equipment thoroughly. They were really clear about what my insurance would cover and what it wouldn’t so I wouldn’t end up with a surprise bill.
October 12, 2018Shaelena M.Verified patient
Karen and her staff are all so wonderful. I cannot say enough nice things about how knowledgeable, helpful, patient, kind and friendly they all are. I 100% recommend Dr. Koumjian and her staff to anyone in Watertown and the surrounding cities. She’s worth the drive!
More than 1 year agoNicole W.Verified patient
Dr. Koumjian has been my optometrist for over 30 years and I have always been very happy with her professionalism and the quality of her services. Karen is very personable and enthusiastic about working with patients to find the right eyeglasses and contact lenses for their needs and lifestyle. I wear both eyeglasses and contact lenses and she has always gone above and beyond to make sure I am satisfied with comfort as well as quality. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great optometrist.
