Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Thomas Berenberg
Dr Berenberg is a very nice & excellent Retina Dr. My vision from the Macular Degeneration is back to where it was a while ago. He explains everything and answers any questions I have. I feel confident and comfortable with him. The staff, all the technicians and receptionists are also very nice and pleasant. Always a pleasant experience.

Best dr. for my macular degeneration.
I have been going to Dr. Berenberg for more than a year for macular degeneration in my right eye. I am so very fortunate that I found him. I have such faith that I won’t lose my eyesight because of his expertise in his field. He is caring and takes his time explaining all I should know.

Clear explanation
Dr. Thomas Berenberg shared clear explanation after thorough examination of my sudden appearance of floaters. Provided monitoring and urgency situation instructions. I would highly recommend him and the The Eye Care Group. I visited Orange CT office after having appointment issues with the call center. Ms Maria H patiently listened to my concerns and nature of urgency and helped me with registration and scheduling. Call center (CC) and office locations need better coordination. Waterbury office provided a fax number for PCP referral. Which was provided. Called again CC to confirm PCP fax and they mentioned another fax number and were not willing to check with Waterbury office.

I have been under the Care of Dr. Berenberg for a year for my retina issue. I have been a patient of The Eye Care Group for over 40 years. They are a group of wonderful, caring Doctors both retired and present. Dr. Berenberg's care during this critical issue has been phenomenal. If you need care for your eye's, The Eye Care Group is the group of Dr's to put your trust. Should you need care for retinal issue, Dr. Berenberg's level of care and knowledge has been nothing short of extraordinary.

Dr. Berenberg is one of the best doctors I have ever encountered. He spends time explaining procedures and answering questions. He is so mild mannered and informative. He just puts you at ease. I've been to him many times for eye injections and have never felt a thing. I was also very impressed with everyone on staff. I highly recommend Dr. Berenberg.

Called the Eye Care Group with a possible retina issue. Within 90 minutes I saw Dr. Berenberg who is one of the vitreous/retina specialists. He meticulously examined my eye and confirmed that there tears in the retina from vitreous detachment. He patiently explained the problem and my options, strongly suggesting we do an immediate procedure to avoid retina detachment. The timely procedure proved quite successful saving me from a more extensive operation and recovery. An excellent doctor.
