I was vacationing in Ogunquit and forgot my contact lenses back home. Janet and Karen worked tirelessly to assist me in coordinating with my personal eye doctor to get me emergency lenses. On top of that, Dr Pelletier examined me pro bono to ensure the emergency lenses fit. I can’t say enough good things about these people who had no motivation to help a tourist they may never see again. I can’t thank them enough.

Needed help getting bent eyeglass frame straightened. The optician, Kristen, took care of the issue quickly, expertly and with a smile. The risk here is damage to the frame which was avoided thanks to her skill. Lastly, she walked me through a series of tests to ensure I was seeing through the right part of the progressive lens. All of the above was done for free, even though I was fully prepared to pay whatever she thought was reasonable or customary. I will be back there for my next pair of glasses when the time comes.

Just cannot say enough great things about Dr Pelletier and his tremendous staff. I recently moved full-time to Maine, and I'd been long overdue for a full checkup. Easily got an appointment, the assessment was comprehensive (well-trained, very collaborative staff), and Dr Pelletier's examination led to the absolute best prescription - I truly believe I have not had the proper glasses for at least 8 years (!). Now, no more eye fatigue, no more end of day headaches (I thought this had just been normal due to my work), and just crystal clear vision while driving. THANK YOU Dr P and all the folks that

I would like to give Dr. Sam Pelletier, and his talented and dedicated Team, the highest praise and recommendation. The DR. saved my eye sight with his great experience and skill. Going the extra mile by referring me on to a specialist quickly to remedy my medical situation. And even called later in the day to see how I was doing...unheard of, but most welcomed. The two team members I met, Janet, and Marisa, at the top of their game. Quickly getting me through the process, while supporting Dr. Pelletier in this delicate health matter. Great looking shop, with cool eye glasses...can’t wait to

Absolutely amazing experience. I drove up Friday night for my brothers wedding Saturday afternoon. I realized Friday night while unpacking I left my contacts in NEW YORK!! I was freaking out!! I drove to this office Saturday morning without an appointment and showed them my previous prescription on my phone. The receptionist was so nice and thoughtful found something matching my prescription that I could use and gave me a 2 week lens trial! The anxiety I had went away and I could see at my brothers wedding! Definitely recommend, they can make miracles happen! It also helped that the location I

My wife and I are in York ME on vacation, staying with friends. I accidentally knocked my glasses off my face, bending the frames. Our friends took us to York Family Eyecare to see if they could help me. Even though I was a complete stranger, I was given a warm welcome by the person at the front desk. I explained my problem, and she told me that a staffer would help me. When I explained the situation to the staffer (I believe her name was Jane) looked at my glasses then took them back into the workspace. When she came out a few minutes later, she had repaired the frames. Not only that, but she

My husband and I were on vacation in Ogunquit when his glasses broke. I googled opticians near me and York Family Eye Care came up. I called and they couldn't have been nicer. We went in and the optometrist was able to fix them and saved our vacation. They didn't even charge for the repair. Would recommend to anyone. Ellen and Michael J

My first time I entered YFE, I was greeted with such professionalism and friendly customer service! They are knowledgeable, helpful, and made me feel instantly comfortable. I was not only 100% pleased with my lenses and frames, but learned so much in the process! Thank you YFE, I will continue to use your services and bring my family there if they ever need eyecare.
