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.

Great Experience
Dr. Armstrong has been treating and monitoring my macular degeneration and narrow angle glaucoma for the past 3 years and I have nothing but good things to say about him. He is patient, answers all my questions clearly, and never rushes me. I count myself fortunate to have him as my ophthalmologist.

Dr Armstrong operated on my husband eyes for cataract. My husband at 65 doesn’t need glasses and he can see very well. I highly recommend doctor Amstrong!

I have used Amstrong Colt for several years for routine eye exams. Recently I had cataract surgery performed by Dr. Tom Armstrong. He was wonderful. He explained the procedure fully and took whatever time was necessary to answer all my questions. The follow-ups with Dr. Kaplan were the same. No rushing you in and out, but whatever time it took to answer any questions. The staff was the same; very cooperative in scheduling things as convenient to the patient as possible. I recommend them without reservation. I had considered going to Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia but doubt I would have received the same level of personal attention.

I was never happy with my care and treatment. I have recently sought other opinions who completely disagreed with my diagnosis and treatment. One practice in New Britain categorically stated I was grossly mistreated and mismanaged. The supporting staff seems qualified and friendly.

Dr. Tom Armstrong is the best eye doctor I have ever been to. I've been cared for by him for over 25 years. He has helped me to restore my vision. He is an excellent surgeon and I cannot recommend him enough! He also has a full team of specialists working with him at his office so they can handle any vision problem (as they did with me).

I went to Armstrong Colt for many years. I usually saw George Kaplan for my exams. I had been on a prescription by the name of Plaquenil for my Rheumatoid arthritis. Despite the fact that George Kaplan was aware of this, I was never seen by retinalogist in their practice. I believe that as a result of not having been monitored for changes in my retinas, thinning occurred. I was even given the wrong field test for part of the monitoring process. Finally, George Kaplan (at my last visit I mi
