In patients' words

"Very pleased with Dr. John Costello. He did both of my eyes for cataract surgery... My vision is now as it was when I was actually wearing my glasses. Yay!"

Birdeye Review

"The biggest drawback is office organization. Waiting an hour and a half for a ten minute visit doesn't seem too considerate to the patients - especially as so many are elderly."

Birdeye Review

"I now have 20-20 vision for the first time in my life and only wish I had done it sooner. I recommend his with complete confidence."

WebMD Review

"Only make an appointment at Costello Eye in Watertown if you are willing to wait in an over crowded waiting room ALL day... They are busy because they over book."
