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.

Amazing experience
Everything step from my exam to getting my new glasses was seamless. Dr. Doolen was so knowledgeable and answered all my questions and concerns I had. The staff was so friendly and accommodating when I had to reschedule my appointment.

Great office location
Hey, Dr.Doolen is pretty cool. Seems like a great, well mannered gentleman. His staff is also welcoming, does a great job multitasking & helping out patients with registration, questions & try ons. I was a new patient for him, in network with UHC NJ Family Care...glasses were fashionably up to date - kinda wish they had more though - out with the old in with the new; as they say. Office location was great too..lovely area...office is hidden though, behind a tree lol lool at website to get idea of where it is.

Terrible! They are scam artists focusing only on making as much money as they can. My husband got his eyes dilated, and the doctor forgot to check them afterwards. My husband had to insist on having them checked. When I asked for prescriptions I got a push back with the lady Marlene saying : don't order online! Lady, it is my patient's right to shop around and order glasses from any place I chose. Even though they measured PD, they insisted I paid additional 25 dollars to be able to get it!!!!

Dr. Doolen and his staff are extremely professional and courteous. It is always a pleasure going to Verona Opticians. They have made time for my family and each and every time we visit, we have a positive experience. Dr. Doolen not only takes care of our eyes, but he does a masterful job teaching us about our specific eye matters. He truly takes his time with each of his patients. Dr. Doolen is gentle and kind and makes sure his patients are equipped with the knowledge they need. EXCELLENT!

Dr. Doolen was great. He is thorough in his examination and explains the various procedures and issues with your eyes. His staff is courteous and knowledgable. Marlene, the Optician, was very helpful and knowledgable in helping me select eyewear and ensure they were customized for me. I would highly recommend Dr. Doolen and his staff.
