    I'm SO grateful to have Dr Alice Lorch caring for my eyes- She's absolutely wonderful in every way. Stop overloading her with 20 patients a day. I overheard that info and was horrified by how unreasonable the work conditions are at MGH. (Dr Lorch has of course NEVER spoken to me about such matters.) Also, give Dr Lorch a huge raise. MGH is very lucky to have Dr Lorch on staff - Please don't lose her!

    My visit was for an eye exam. The assistant to the M.D. is who I referred to as the "nurse" when answering the previous questions about the nurse. The M.D. has been my doctor for many years, is quite familiar with my history, so lengthy discussion between us is normally not needed. She does ask me the important questions and asks if there are any changes in my eyesight to report. She also answers any questions I have in a direct manner in a way that is understandable to me. I recommend her to anyone looking for an ophthalmologist.

    Dr. Lorch, and her assistants are great! If they were not i would not fly in from Arizona to see her. Or all my providers at Mass General Brigham all my doctors are there, but Dr. Alice Lorch is the best and no amount of waiting short or long is a problem when you have a good doctor that's worth seen.

    Hello, yes, my provider, Dr. Lorch, was very great. She listened to me, and she explained everything about my eyes that I needed to know, and she treated me with courtesy, and the whole, situation at my eye and ear was very good. And I will continue to go there, And if any of my family members need an eye exam, I would definitely recommend Mass Eye and Ear. So is there anything else I need to say or to answer a question? If not, thank you.
