Diane Allen

This office and worked with me through some challenging vision Issues. Dr. Elkinson is well versed, knowledgeable and a good communicator about eye issues and treatments. He referred me to the best surgeon and they collaborate and communicate about my care. The office staff is more than friendly, they and efficient and very helpful.

john (jd) dickinson

Hello. I was due for a checkup and stopped by to see if I could keep an appointment to have my eyes checked and was told they were booking out 2 months. This was on Nov 29 2022 My insurance change Jan 1 so I wanted it before then. Then an other staff member spoke up to say they just had a Dec 2 cancellation and I could have it. From walking in the door to such a nice facility to the pleasant staff. Dr. Elkinson is very thorough and explained the whole process in detail as he was doing the exam. I am very pleased with the results and will use him again.

Irene Severance

All aspects of this medical team are exceptional in their professionalism, presentation and patient care. Dr. Elkinson takes an unlimited amount of time with his patients, and the office staff provides help as needed, all with a positive friendly attitude. Highly recommend.

I’m always delighted with the professionalism and proficiency of Dr Elkinson and his entire staff. They exude a caring and positive attitude throughout every interaction with me.Even though I’ve moved over 3 hours away, I will continue to schedule my yearly checkups here. Kudos to everyone.

Marie Ahern

I have been a patient of Dr. Elkinson for several years. I have always been happy and impressed by Dr. Elkinson and his office staff. Everyone there is always professional, kind , friendly and above all patient with the patient 😊! I always refer anyone who asks me if I know of a good eye doctor. Without hesitation , I always recommend Dr. Elkinson ,and, I tell those that go to expect the most thorough eye exam that they will ever have. You will never leave that office with an unanswered question! In times like these where great customer service is hard to find , you will find it there!

Beth Koehler

My wife has been seeing Dr Elkinson for years and kept telling me I should switch because she liked him so much. My other eye doctor was getting very expensive, bringing in more and more machines. I decided to try Dr Elkinson and I’m so happy I did. He is personable, knowledgeable and affordable and the office staff is very friendly.

David Whitten

Dr. Elkinson and his team are always professional, personal, on time and eager to help by answering any questions etc. the office is welcoming, clean and overall enjoyable. What else could you ask for!!

Natasha Murphy

Everything about our visit here was amazing! Dr. Elkinson explained every little detail of what he was doing while examining my sons eyes. Drew took my son through a series of tests as well and was friendly and professional! The entire front desk staff and gentlemen that helped my son choose his glasses were all wonderful. I would highly recommend this office!!

Angel Stevens

Dr. Elkinson has many years of experience and it shows! During my visit, I always feel well informed as he does a great job explaining things to me. He takes time to answer my questions and I never feel rushed out the door! His entire staff is so friendly. I highly recommend this office!

My experience has always been awesome. You couldn’t ask for any better. Very helpful and always friendly. If you go in sad you will come out happy. I love them all.

Drew Hamlin

Excellent customer service and all around experience. From the front desk to the doctor, they were thorough and polite. When I went to the glasses section, they were not pushy. I felt like I left with a good understanding of what’s going on and a quality exam. I’d recommend them.

Doreen Nixon

I have been going to Dr Elkinson for some years now. He is always professional and has friendly front office staff

I’ve been very pleased with Dr Elkinson. He explains all the tests and what they are for. There is no high pressure to purchase glasses.

Terrence Fitzgerald

I’ve been going to Dr Elkinson for at least 15 years and have never had a bad experience. He and the staff are very professional and personable. They make you feel like family. He always asks about my family and how they’re doing. Always enjoy my appointments. I’m Diabetic and he always explains what he’s looking for and how it can effect your eyesight. Very, very informative.

Emily Loder

I never want to go to another eye doctor again! From the moment I walked in the door, the overall experience, staff and atmosphere was awesome. So professional, knowledgeable and tech savvy. If I can award more than 5 stars I would. Go here.

Sue Kelt

Excellent eye care. This was my first time there as a patient and I have never had such a thorough eye exam. Everything is explained to you in a manner anyone can understand. Friendly caring doctor and staff. Would highly recommend their office!

Alexis Powell

Such friendly and helpful staff. The doctor is very thorough. I’ve been buying frames from Warby Parker bc I couldn’t find stylish ones at my current eye doctor’s but this place has an awesome selection and I’m super happy with my new frames!

Kathleen Parsons

Usually in a doctor's office you either love the staff or love the doctor. I can easily say that the whole office is wonderful! From the moment you walk in you feel like you are visiting friends. Chris, the eye glasses guru is very helpful when you need new glasses! There is never any pressure to purchase them through the office. You will want to because of the great styles in stock! Dr Elkinson is amazing! He explains everything in detail with a radio voice that is very calming and enjoyable to listen to.

Pamela Anzelc

I love this office. The staff are highly trained and competent folks. Dr Elkinson has the latest equipment to assure a thorough eye exam. Everyone is kind and compassionate. The optical shop is convenient and the service and selection are great. I’m a nervous patient and everyone made me feel comfortable.

Bradley Dubois

Dr Elkinson and staff are super friendly and got me in and out the door for my eye exam in 90 minutes. I like how the doctor explained and educated me about my eye health and all parts of the exam while it happened. I'm very happy a colleague referred me and they take my insurance.

Adam Frederick (thebassyclist)

Expert and friendly eye care delivered with superlative elocution. These folks are great; professional, patient and clear.

Sean Port

I have been seen by Dr. Elkinson for my yearly contact lens needs for many years and have always been extremely satisfied with both his professional care and friendly personality. I always leave his office believing that we were able to find the best prescription for my vision, the best contact-lens maker to use for my particular needs, and also the best price for my contact lens purchases. I was also very happy with the prescription sunglasses, and emergency back-up eye glasses I bought through Maine Eye Care. I highly recommend both him personally and his staff as a great choice for your vision care.

Amy M

Doctor Elkinson and his staff were very efficient and caring. I had an annual eye exam and the following week had an eye emergency and they quickly scheduled me and were to ensure my eyes were healthy. Easy parking as well.

Always a positive experience.

I have been going to Dr. Elkinson for many years and have recommended him to all my friends and family - many of whom now go to him as well. He is very thorough and takes his time with you to answer any questions you may have. All his staff are wonderful too. I actually moved away from the area but still make the 3 hour drive to South Portland as I have not found a better eye doctor!

Incredibly staffed office with really friendly front desk personnel.Dr Elkinson really knows his field of work and is willing to help me with what ever direction I choose to do with my eye health.They are always on time and very good about following up on my request to be sent to an eye surgeon.Made sure my insurance company was going to cover the surgery and even made coordinating appointment's for me to come back with them! Would highly recommend them to family and friends.

Donovan White

Really enjoyed my time with Dr. Elkinson and the Staff who very cordial and accomodating, getting me in for my first appointment in a very quick fashion. They took the time to walk me through each exam, and gave loads of helpful information. I highly recommend Maine Family Eye Care.

E S

Dr. Elkinson is great! The whole staff is! I have been going to them for over 10 years now. Even when I moved from the area that was 6 hours away for awhile I still continued to go to them. He is very thorough and explains everything. I have recommended many people to him :)

Brenda Arnold

Dr. Elkinson is a great eye doctor. He takes the time to explain in detail everything pertaining to your visit and answers any questions you may have. He is very friendly as well as all of his staff. I really enjoy my visits there.

Sherry Cavallaro

I have been going to Dr. Elkinson for more years than I can count. It is always a pleasure to visit the office for an appointment. From the time you first enter you are greeted by everyone, all of the staff is very professional and they ensure your visit goes smoothly and without delay. I can always depend on Josh to help me pick out the perfect glass frames - and he gets it right in one or two tries! When I had an eye issue I told Dr. Elkinson calling in and hearing his voice on the answering machine helped to calm me, knowing he would be able to help me solve my problem, which he did. Again - always a pleasant experience!

paula j. gaillard

Always helpful they are good at appointment reminders and the BEST eye doctor I have ever had. Very thorough. Keeps me posted on eye changes and current on eye glass prescriptions. Josh is a great help if you need glasses!! Overall, great place to go for the best eye health, I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for Great service from start to finish.

Deb Gerry

I have always struggled with vision exams. Dr. Elkinson makes the process much less stressful with his endless patience and exceptional skill. He also has the equipment to monitor my eye health so I don't have to go to a specialist. Staff is always friendly and make you feel welcome.

Sarah Kirn

I made my appointment assuming it would take 60 minutes. When I arrived I learned it would take 90, I was in a bind. The staff stepped up and got me out of the office, all tests completed and my current glasses adjusted, in a hair over an hour. I was really pleased. Josh who does the glasses is lovely. Dr. Elkinson is a gadget hound, which is fun. The woman who did my preliminary tests was smart and quick and kind (I'm sorry I didn't catch her name!). I always feel like I had a thorough check and was treated fairly.

Dustin Johnson

Great visit with them. First time needing my eyes checked and I called to set up an appointment. The nearest one was 4 months out but they put me on a cancellation list and called me a week later and had me in that day. The doctor was great! So were all the staff. Especially enjoyed my time working with the guy fitting eye glasses. They were all easy to chat with and learn things from. The hour or two was extremely positive and I left feeling hopeful for my vision and that I got a good deal on professionally-fitted glasses.

Katherine Smith

I always feel welcome when going to Maine Family Eye Care. From the check-in, to my exam everyone is very professional. And Dr. Elkinson is always a pleasure to work with. He fully explains what he is doing during the exams and is always ready to answer any questions I have.

Lindsay

I've been going to Dr. Elkinson for about 8 years and I enjoy my experience there every time. The staff is friendly and helpful, and always accommodating if I have an issue. I wouldn't go anywhere else! Since I wrote my original review, Dr. Elkinson has moved to a larger office with more parking. The office is comfortable and the quality of care and attention of staff remain impeccable! Would definitely recommend.

Bridget Rioux

RickN7

My wife and I have been going here for years and have never had a bad experience. Dr. Elkinson is excellent and knows what he is talking about! Optical migraines? High eye pressure? Had no idea what any of that was before coming here. As far as glasses go, Josh is a pro at finding any frames you need.

Christi Grittner

The entire staff is friendly, welcoming, and courteous. My son has an unusual prescription and Dr. Elkinson paid close attention and performed a thorough exam. Highly recommend this office to everyone, no matter how severe your condition.

Stephen Pride

Two great recent experiences. This summer the lenses on my sunglasses warped which I guess can happen on occasion. They were still under warranty and they replaced them for free. Recently I got a pair of new glasses. Short version - I did not like how the lenses came out. They replaced them quickly and without complaint. I'm very pleased. Great service.

Bruce Hirdler

I am a first time patient moving up from Florida. The Maine Family Eye Care center gave me a thorough exam and the staff was extremely professional and pleasant to deal with. My eyes received a good report and, while in the office, I had my sunglasses fit with prescription lenses to match my reading glasses. A +++ all the way.

Cindy Hazelton

Dr Mark Elkinson and his staff are fabulous. Always friendly, professional, helpful and genuinely pleased to see you as a patient. I have all the faith in the world that my eye care is top notch and trust Dr Elkinson completely.

Anais Aguirre

Dr. Elkinson and staff are the best! They are the best of both worlds, all the modern technology and glasses along with the small town Dr. office feel of knowing their patients and treating them like family. I know that I can call and ask questions and always get an immediate response. Refreshing in today's day and age.

Melissa Doughty

It's always a pleasant experience when I have an appointment. The wait isn't usually very long, the staff is always pleasant and accommodating and I always feel welcomed and comfortable. I am very pleased that I chose Mark Elkinson for my eye doctor.

Jamison McLean

Great experience overall. Everyone I met was exceptionally nice and helpful. It's good to see a health provider embrace technology a little bit. I particularly liked that I could fill out most of the paperwork online and schedule appointments that way too!

Bobbi Bouchard

Always have gone here since I was a kid, my parents would get glasses here / contacts. Such kind workers and I absolutely appreciate how much Dr.Elkinson cares about our family.

Brandon Dith-Berry

Dr. Elkinson always treats me kindly and is very good at what he does. He is gentle with the test he needs to perform on my eyes, and they are always accurate. I've been going to him for a little over two years now.

Geralyn Savenelli

I have been going to Maine Family Eyecare for many years and it is always a great experience. They are friendly and professional and Dr. Elkinson explains what he is doing and the results of the test. In a lot of Doctors Offices you can feel like you are being rushed through, but not at Maine Family Eyecare! The staff is great and I would have no problem recommending this practice to anyone.

Maura Malia

I have been seeing Dr. Elkinson for many years. He is very thorough, takes the time to get to know your lifestyle/needs in eyewear and takes the time to educate throughout the appointment. The office staff is friendly and the overall atmosphere is calm :)

We love the education about eyes ( and) the education about glasses that we get from Dr Elkinson (and) from Josh that fits my son for his glasses.

Please go you will not be disappointed.

I have been going to Dr Elkinson for several years now. I have always had good experiences when I go there. I did try getting my glasses somewhere else one time but ended up going right back to see Josh at Dr Elkinsons because I was so unhappy with the glasses I got from the other place!!! I would highly recommend going to Dr Elkinson. Cheri Culleton

j lat

Dr. Elkinson always does a great job explaining what he is looking at and for during the exam. It’s great to know more about what’s going on than just being told what your eye sight is. Everyone else in the office are always super nice.

Keanna Rideout

Always greeted quickly and with a smile. I feel like family every time I go for a appointment. I also love how they speak to each other to make sure that one another understands what the patient needs. Will never go anywhere else!!

At Every appointment Dr Mark helps me understand the way my eyes work and appreciate why taking care of them all these years has paid off. Thank you sir and carry on ! Bill

Don Clough

I Was referred for eye surgery by Dr. Elkinson. When the surgeon looked at the notes sent over, he said they were the most detailed and helpful notes he had seen! I have been to other eye Doctors and was generally happy with them but on my first visit with Dr. Elkinson he found something the others had missed. Dr. Elkinson is very thoughtful and thorough, I highly recommend!

Linda Congleton

I have been with Dr.Elkinson for years. And he has been very nice to me. And would go over my test with me. This is a family office my dad, mom, my daughter and me. I am very happy with Dr Elkinson.

Paul Naseef

Wendy Frost

Had a great visit and they were so friendly and helpful. Dr. Elkinson took the time to explain everything that he was looking at.

Solange Tchatat

Dr. Elkinson is the best eye care Dr I have ever have the privilege to visit. I really appreciate the explanations he gives, especially when he explains the results of the different tests you have done. He compares the results in front of you by showing the images of your eyes. I trust him completely with my vision care. Every staff in his office is particular and put you in a good mood before you see the Dr. I like the friendship and the kindness. I leave far from his office, and don't care driving overthere for my visits. I recommend him to all those who are still hesitant to see an optometrist.

Gail Hood

Love this eye care practice. The folks are thorough, patient, explain everything with great patience. Our family has been going to them for over 20 years.

Debra Cushman

The place is awesome the care team work together they are courteous and soft-spoken they are very accommodating and respectful

Dolores Stoddard

I’m new to Dr. Elkinson. All I can say is I felt comfortable and at ease. Dr. Elkinson explained everything he was doing step by step, he went over my exam and he answered my questions and put my concerns at ease. I never felt like he was rushing through the exam. He told me I could use a slight prescription. He said I could get glasses now but I don’t have to and he told me if I did not get glasses now but changed my mind later on down the road, I could go back and get glasses then. I never felt he was pushing me to get glasses. He reminds me of my last eye doctor. I was hoping to find someone like him. I think I did and I’m glad because I have had eye doctors in the past that were non-personable and pushy about my getting glasses. I felt like it was all about the money for them but that is not the case here. Thank you again Dr. Elkinson.

Holly Roberts

Dr. Elkinson is very knowledgeable. You can expect to fully understand every aspect of your visit. The staff is very friendly and the location of the office is very convenient.

Jeannette Latham

Dr. Elkinson and his team are always so nice and helpful. They truly care about your health and happiness when you go to them. Even when I am just going in for an adjustment of my glasses they all check to see if everything is is still going well and make sure I don't have any other issues.

Tony Youells

Very nice staff and pleasant atmosphere. Took my daughter for an exam and got a thorough explanation. Had some issue with my insurance company and they worked with me until I got it straightened out. Definitely recommend this office.

Frank Toderico

Always a great experience dealing with the Doctor and his staff. I look forward to my annual appointment. update: had an emergency recently and was taken care of immediately. Went in for annual 5-26-21 and the young man that took care of all the testing before the Doctor saw me was very professional and a welcome addition to the practice.

Bev and Bob Hubbs

I was treated with courtesy, kindness, efficiency as well as professional competence. Questions, even those I didn't know I had, were answered gladly. Perhaps just as important, everyone with whom I dealt seemed happy to be at work and happy to serve all of the patients there.

This is a fantastic practice with a caring staff.. We all want our eyes to do their best work as long as we live. With Dr. Elkinson's expert care it looks like that is a strong possibility.

Dr Elkinson and his staff are kind, caring and professional. I had my second examination today and he was just as thorough as during my initial exam a year ago. The glasses his optician made last year are the best I ever had.

Dr. ELKINSON explains everything as he moves along in your examination. He is complete and thorough. 👁 Gives time for any questions. I have been to other offices and did not get as thorough an exam. 🤓 The office is very convenient, right on Main Street in South Portland. So make your appointment at Maine Family Eye Care for a one stop appointment and glasses 👓 at the same place. How convenient is that?

Linda Stevens

Excellent care from Dr. Elkinson and all his staff. I have been a patient at his practice for 20+ years and am grateful for the thoughtful compassionate treatment I've received there. Most recently Dr. Elkinson helped me when it was time to seek cataract surgery, both by providing a referral for surgery and by treating me afterward to obtain lenses that optimize my post-surgery vision. I recommend him without reservation.

Kristen Fox

Dr. Elkinson and his staff are always professional, courteous, efficient, helpful, and organized. They have provided exemplary service for the past 25 years.

Kathie Eaton

Dr. Elkinson has been my eye doctor for 20 to 25 years and my husband's for almost that long. We have always found him to be very professional and up to date with the latest tests, etc. His staff is very friendly and welcoming. Whenever we have had a concern, he has taken the time to address it or referred us to another doctor who specializes in that field. Thank you Dr. Elkinson for your years of great eye care!!!

John Lunt

Front desk was very friendly. My wait both in the waiting room and in the examination rooms was minimal. The doctor explained everything and asked many times whether I had questions. Great experience

Judy Machemer

Dr. Elkinson and his staff are caring and professional. They take the time to answer all questions you may have if your tests indicate any potential future eye problems. Dr. Elkinson then provides treatment and monitors the results of the treatment. I have recommended his clinic to my friends and will continue to do so.

Karina Lefebvre

I have been seeing Dr. Elkinson for over 18 years. Not once have I had a dissatisfying or bad experience. The attention is solely on me when I go and I am never rushed and my questions get answered. This goes for Dr. Elkinson and all his staff. People in other offices could learn a lot from his office.

Samantha Bassett

Always a pleasant experience. I have worn glasses or contacts since the 3rd grade. There are very few eye doctors I am completely pleased with, this is one of them.

Paul Lindsay

Dr Elkinson and his staff are always 100% attentive to your needs. I would recommend his practice to any one of my friends.

David Bruneau

Dr. Mark has been my doctor for quite sometime and I am very satisfied. He not only completes the exam with professionalism but also explains what he is doing in layman terms. Thank you for your service

I have a hard face to fit for frames, and picking out frames has taken me days, weeks or months before. Josh has gotten frames on the first go TWICE now. He's amazing. I'm not going anywhere else ever.

Dawn gauvin

Dr. Mark Elkinson is very thorough. He explains everything he is doing and what he is looking for during your eye exam. I would definitely recommend Maine Family Eyecare.

Pamela Anzelc

I had an initial exam at Dr Elkinson’s. I had the most thorough, comprehensive exam that I’ve ever had. Dr Elkinson’s equipment is very modern. The office is spotless and the staff are caring and professional. Dr Elkinson has an optical center that also exceeded my expectations. They didn’t try to “sell” me anything. They listened to my wishes and found the right products for me. I couldn’t be happier!

Anusha Vimal

Doctor was friendly, patient and educated my son who is 9 years old with parts of the eyes. He kept us in informed with the process. Front office team was warm and welcoming...

MJ Reeth

I have been a client of Maine Family Eye Care for several years. Dr. Mark Elkinson and his team are professional, warm, hospitable, and friendly! I looked forward to seeing Dr. Mark, Liz, Jo, Rob, and Chris again, and I was happy to meet Jessica. For me, it's like visiting a welcoming family. Not only are they all so very pleasant and enjoyable, but their time, concern, expertise, attention, proficiency, and commitment to "getting it right" are things taken very seriously. My most recent visit, last week, was for my annual eye exam. Again, it was hassle-free , easy, and thorough. I always feel comfortable and cared for. Dr. Elkinson provides thorough education regarding options, treatments, and rationales. He encourages questions and wants the very best for his clientele. There is never pressure to make a particular decision, but invitation to carefully consider each option. Chris, with the help of Liz, and with tremendous interest and patience, helped me as I looked for suitable frame options. That's never an easy decision for me, thus their patience was so appreciated! I have only two eyes. I don't take them for granted. I have implicit trust in my eyecare team, and I thank them for the gifts of their vocations, and the manners in which they carry them out.

Jodi Kateon

Very thorough exam. Very polite and caring about patients. Follows up if necessary

blues boy39

Maria Dyer

I've always gone to Dr. Elkinson, since I was 5. They're quick, explain everything, and always remember you. Everyone there is always happy and very pleasant.

Kristen Fox

Dr. Elkinson and his staff are always professional, well organized, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Chris Pine

To start, the waiting room is very comfortable and accommodating. There’s an accessible unisex bathroom, a toy chest for kids, s beautiful fish tank, and a coat rack. (Note: there is some low volume music playing generally so if you have any sound sensitivity issues that’s something to keep in mind.) The people at the front are not only professional and helpful, they’re also very kind and considerate. (They gave me some shades for my dilated eyes while I waited to go back in and chatted with me both times I’ve been in so far.) Once in for the pre-appointment tests, they’re quick to processes you but thorough. Dr. Elkinson and his staff are very good at making sure you’re comfortable and ready for certain tests. (Like the puff of air) They also made me very comfortable as a member of the LGBTQ community. I was able to discuss my transition with the doctor (and relating medications/symptoms) without feeling uncomfortable for a second. They even adjusted to my preferred name without blinking an eye. (It was even on my script at the end :) ) In the end, I felt welcome to return and happy with the care I received. I have already recommended them to friends and family in the area.

Richard Gilman

Dr Elkinson has been my eye specialist for about 20 years. He diagnosed a potentially serious condition and alerted my primary physician, averting serious consequences. I will continue to rely on his professional opinions in the future

Lisa Pickford

Great customer service! Everyone was so friendly. I have already recommended them to friends and family.

Debra Soucy

My vision was not clean in my left eye and really disturbing my vision. I left a message on a Friday, after hours, a friendly staff member called me on Monday and had an appt Tuesday with Mark Elkinson. Wow, fast! Dr.Elkinson, what a professional, friendly and comfortable person to discuss my recent health issues and see if related to my current eye issues. After an eye exam discovered I needed a new lens for one eye and other eye issues are going on that Dr. Elkinson will continue to follow up with me. Surprised how affordable a 2nd pair of glasses will be, that I have ordered with one new lens and having a followup in December. Dr. Elkinson, thank you for scheduling me so fast for an appointment, I really do appreciate the great attention I received from you and your staff!

Gayle Raposa

Very friendly. Explains everything in detail. Asks several times if you have any questions. So, if you leave without getting an answer to a question, it is probably your own fault for not asking.

Peter McHugh

Dr Mark and staff were a pleasure to deal with and everyone was very professional. The COVID 19 precautions were appreciated and very thorough.

Kerry Paolino

Everyone is friendly. They worked with the budget I had and helped me select a pair of glasses that would work for me and that are stylish.
