Reviews for Dartmouth, MA Optometrist Dr. Nicole Rabideau Keratoconus Services

Best experience.... This is definitely the best place to go if you have ever had any difficulty with finding the perfect prescription for contact lenses. They are very good at ensuring proper fitment of any cone shaped cornea (keratoconus) I highy recommended this place... It's a hidden gem! More

My son has very aggressive Keratoconus. We were able to have him enrolled in the corneal cross-linking trials which halted progression of the disease. However, The disease had progressed to the degree that his vision was barely better than blind. After 70+ visits and fitting sessions for contacts which could never be made to fit comfortably and made only slight improvements.... and lots and lots of tears I frustration ...we were beginning to explore the idea of corneal transplant. I'm not exactly sure how I got Dr. West's contact information, but I called his office and asked his staff if he had any experience with keratoconus and was told that he did so we made an appointment. Simply put, after all the years and the stress and the financial hardship, and the pain and the fear and the anger…after two visits, yes two visits, my son walked out with the glasses and no contacts. If anyone has Keratoconus, walk, no run to this office! God bless you Dr. West for giving my son his life back. More

Absolutely excellent service. On my first visit, the first words out of Dr. West's mouth was " Are you ready to see today?" Sure enough, after about 10 years of constant visits with other Eye clinics, I was able to stop wearing hard contacts after constantly switching to a new pair every 2-3 months with other clinics. Dr. West had me in to glasses by the end of the week. I was so amazed. I could actually see tree bark up to 50-60 feet away by the end of the month. (Had to allow my eyes to adjust from having a hard contacts in for several years) Today is nearly year three. Im still in glasses with no problems. I only need these glasses for fine print reading, and long hours at my computer. **I HIGHLY recommend this eye clinic to anyone with any stage of Keratoconus. ** Please note, my eyes are cosidered to be in chronic stages. However, I had crosslinking done, this has haulted the progress of my condition. The contact I had made with this new machine he has fits perfectly. I have never been able to keep one in my left eye due to how advanced the keratoconus was before linking. I was honestly losing hope for my eyes. I thought i was going to be blind soon. I was depressed, I really couldnt enjoy much in life with out squinting really hard. This Doctor literally changed my life. Thank you so much Dr West! ~Deric More
