- Perfect for adults and kidsLast February my daughter came from school with a note from the nurse that she had failed an eye test. She needed an exam and glasses. My husband and I were happy with Dr.Rabkin, but I thought that a 9-year-old would benefit from a pediatric optometrist.
The appointment with a pediatric optometrist who was covered by our insurance went bad for different reasons. But what made me really doubtf...
Read More On Citysearch dstt 12/8/2008 - Another VERY satisfied customerBefore posting myself, I read many of the other reviews, including the single one-star review. This lone outlier is the exception that proves the rule: Dr. Rabkin's service, selection, expertise, and attention to detail are exceptional. I have been wearing glasses for almost 40 years, have lived in a Boston suburb for 25 years and have purchased my glasses at one optician (not Vizio) for that w...
Read More On Citysearch rbcl 3/5/2008 - extraordinary results in prescription and lens suggestionsI have been using progressive lenses for several years; however, the tradeoff between the convenience of a single set of glasses vs. clarity and field width was disappointing. In fact, I purchased additional glasses just to use for computer work, in order to have accurate vision. On my first visit, Dr. Rabkin not only gave me a prescription that resulted in 20/15 eyesight at every focal length,...

I've been wearing glasses for ten years, recently moved to Boston and for the first time had a truly bad experience with an optometrist in Cambridge. According to him my prescription strength has dropped dramatically, yet I have gotten headaches and see blurry, now for 2 weeks. I have gone back and he claims that the prescription is correct. Out of desperation, I did a search on the net, found ...

Read More On Citysearch muffie603 7/5/2007 - OUTSTANDING OPTOMETRIST . . .Although I currently live in Chicago, I?m originally from Boston. While researching for a new set of eyewear, I accidentally came across Dr. Rabkin?s site. Upon further review, I could not find an optometrist with similar outstanding reviews in my area. Since I had scheduled a vacation to visit with my family in Boston, I took advantage of this opportunity and scheduled an appointment online. ...
Read More On Citysearch mcm244 6/15/2007 - Excellent service and variety of glassesI was kindly greeted upon entering the store, and experienced the best and thorough eye exam ever. Dr. Rabkin always explained everything she was going to do, an offered an excellent service from beginning to end. I never felt rushed when in the store. She even helped me to pick the glasses that best looked on me. I was surprised with the variety of glasses that they had. It's a great collection ...
Read More On Citysearch carlanunes 8/4/2006 - Most wrm, efficient and stlylish store I have ever been inI grew up the daughter of an ophthalmologist and he also did my refractions until he retired. Then I started going to optomotrists and spent thousands of dollars on eyewear. My Harvard ophthalmologist who examines my eyes for diabetic issues too one look at my perscription and immediately sent to me to Dr Rabkin. She spent over an an hour checking my eyes and found gross mistakes in rx's I had be...

For anyone who remembers them, how does Dr. Rabkin compare to Drs. Mechanic and Levine who were also in brookline for many years?
Read More On Citysearch joyceand 4/21/2006 - User review by bostondocI found Dr. Rabkin's practice online and am glad I did! Her store is very modern and the staff is exceptionally helpful. Dr. Rabkin was very informative and made me feel comfortable. I am excited for my new pair of glasses and will return to have my contact lenses fitted. Thank you!
Read More On Citysearch bostondoc 12/4/2005 - great store, wonderful optometristI wandered in off the street into Dr. Rabkin's store in Brookline Village and ended up ordering my glasses there because I was so impressed with their selection, service and attention to detail. After my glasses arrived, I realized that my new prescription--based on an exam by another doctor--was not quite right. Dr. Rabkin did a new exam for me, which was extremely thorough, and then worked wi...
Read More On Citysearch rmg2 10/11/2005 - BEST EYE DOCTOR, PERIOD!After reading the rave reviews on Citysearch, I was very excited to meet Dr. Rabkin. In the back of my mind however, I was a little uneasy as a perfect 10 is hard to come by. Was Dr. Rabkin as good as others had said? The answer is simply, YES! In fact my visit far exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked through the door, I felt as though I were the only customer in the room. She...

Read More On Citysearch womansbooks 8/16/2005 - VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDEDDr. Rabkin is a true gem. She is just an incredible doctor who performed the most thorough eye exam I ever had and I would never go anywhere else. Her service was beyond excellent and her recommendations for eye glasses were perfect. I always was used to getting poor quality eyeglasses that I never loved but I got the most comfortable rimless eyeglasses (i got Lindberg) from the shop where Dr....
Read More On Citysearch jackiesol11 7/20/2005 - Absolutely BEST Eye Doctor in Boston!I always thoroughly research my doctors before I see them and I had a recommendation from my co-worker. I researched Doctor Rabkin by asking my Ophthalmologist about her - he actually knows her personally and gave her remarkable endorsements. After my visit I must say Dr. Rabkin is by far the best professional I have seen in Optometry.
I also purchased high quality eyeglasses and they are t...

I am an extremely picky and demanding customer when it comes to everything and especially my health (eye health in this case). Yet Dr. Rabkin has truly exceeded even my expectations and I highly recommend her as an Optometrist even to those of you who think that you already have a good doctor. I now realize that until recently, I did not really know what i...

Read More On Citysearch dansingshay 2/15/2005 - Excellent ServiceI needed to have my contact lens prescription renewed and was not very attentive to my eyecare. Dr. Rabkin was very persuasive in getting me to see that I should try out different contact lens until I found the ones that suited me. She also encouraged me to consider getting new glasses and to pay more attention to the health of my eyes. She spent a lot of time helping me to choose a nice pair of...

Read More On Citysearch pconforti 12/12/2004 - My first eye-exam experienceI have to say that this was the first time I have ever seen an eye doctor and didn't know what to expect. Dr. Rabkin was extremely friendly and I felt very comfortable throughout the entire process. Afterwards, I had a ton of personalized attention helping me choose a pair of glasses. I was made to feel as if I was their only patient.
