Poulin Robert MD

This guy is a slime, went to him for an eye problem, wouldn’t let me out of there without an eye exam for $ 80 cash aside from what insurance paid for consult. As I didn’t need glasses at the time of the exam, it took me 15 months to fill the script. It was not written correctly, one lens is impossible to see out of at all, they will not look into the problem without my paying an additional $ 80 for another exam. There are so many better eye doctors around, don’t get sucked in.

Dr. Poulin is an excellent eye doctor, who is thorough.
He is approachable, gentle and explains things in a way that the patient can understand.
He does not «rush» through the appointment, either!

Great eye doctor. I need glasses every year and he is always helpful. Often I’m in between prescriptions so he spends a little extra time to see which lenses are less straining on my eyes. This was the first year it was recommended I need bifocals at 43. I was shocked! He explained with my reliance on my iPad and smart phone my regular prescription would be too strong for reading and that’s why such weak prescription on the bottom. Considering I can’t make out the letter E on the top of the chart and then attempting to read on the top of my glasses he was right. From experience other doctors miss nuances like this.
It’s where an average doctor moves up a star for having reviewed my chart well enough to know I now do my magazine and newspaper subscriptions reading on my iPad Mini.
Several years ago he did my sister’s post-​op care and noticed an infection before she was even aware of it yet. That gave him the fifth star as I was in that visit.

Oh, this place, is just awesome. Back in 2010, I had a corneal abrasion and was treated right. The only complaint I had was that the medicinal drops gave me a headache, but then I just don’t like taking medicine so that’s not their fault (give me a placebo and I might get a headache).
Dr Poulin knew what he was doing and I followed his every word. Corneal abrasions aint anything to be messed with, when my cornea healed I got a regular eye exam from Dr Poulin and glasses from Andy.
In the years since, I’ve kept going to see this doctor for regular eye exams, ocular migraines (I’m okay, really), burst blood vessel (that was scary, but it was fine). He has a reasonably flexible schedule. They don’t usually keep me waiting long, except for this one time, but the receptionist explained to me that they had a number of emergencies they had to squeeze in, she said he was «on call» for the city that day, like they can help that. It’s only happened once, where with other doctors you have to wait for a long time every single time you have an appointment.
This place is full of win.

My Dad has the Alzheimers, Dr. Poulin hurried through his initial exam, said he was fine, no new eyeglass prescription, not a candidate for Cataract surgery. 6 months later I took my Dad to a specialist, hoping to have the surgery, as Dad couldn’t see. This Dr. diagnosed him with UNTREATED GLACOMA, which resulted in complete deterioration of his left optic near and 50% deterioration of his right. This Dr changed Dad’s eye glass prescription. At Dads visit with Dr. Poulin, he could read just the first two lines of the chart. The one that is an E, after 2 months treatment with glaucoma drops and new eyeglass prescription, he could read down about 12 lines, a 25% improvement in the pressure in his eyes! Don’t let Dr Poulin treat your family, he may help you in going blind!
