“I love going to the south Weymouth office. Everyone is so friendly, helpful and kind. I never wait to see the dr once the paperwork is completed. The dr is personable, engaging and informative. I never feel like I’m rushed through. She takes time to listen and answer any questions I have and within an hour the office followed up with answers to my insurance coverage. Thank you all for your professionalism and skills ”

The doctor and her assistant conducted a very thorough examination. They asked me pertinent questions about my eye history and listened to my concerns. They provided an in-depth exam to update my eyeglass prescription. Efficient, competent and friendly medical service!

Dr. Topgi is the best Opthamologist I have seen. She was very kind and thorough. She listed to my concerns and addressed the issues I scheduled the appointment for. I had an annual eye exam with an Optometrist in March and have been to a number of them over the years trying to resolve dry eye issues and complaints about blurriness/halos. The home regimen for dry eyes Dr. Topgi prescribed is much more aggressive so I am hopeful for a resolution and I have never been told before that I have cataracts in both eyes which may explain my sharp vision decline.
Her assistant who performed the initial photos/exam was also lovely and kind.
Both were very efficient with time. My total time for exam and appointment was 40 minutes which is much more reasonable than any other eye doctor I have seen which has been close to 2 hours.
Today I went to the Norwood office because of the availability, but I am looking forward to visiting them in the Quincy office which is closer for me.
Highly recommended.

She was extremely helpful! I went in with some blurriness in my vision and she found the root cause with no problem. Great bedside manner and very bubbly! 10/10 recommend.

The staff were professional. The office well maintained and comfortable. The doctor explained issues in way that was easily understood.
August 15, 2023Scott H.Verified patient
I had an appointment today. The doctor was extremely rude! The way she spoke to an elderly patient was awful. She only spent about 10 minutes with me.The people at the desk were laughing at patients. My family has been going to this office for years. it's really changed. I won't be back.
