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.

He's a great doctor

He nearly blinded me
He told me he could operate and I would be able to throw away my glasses. He nearly blinded me and I now have to use 4 pairs of glasses for each of many every day tasks. I complained to him that my eyes are worse now than ever and his response I will never forget. He said 'At least your not blind'.

AARON AVNI THE WORST DOCTOR!!!! How is he still holding a title as a doctor?!?!, with many failed cataract surgeries?!?! Yes, I am another victim of a failed cataract surgery; had this guy perform a cataract procedure on my eye to correct my vision, instead..... I LOSE MY EYESIGHT COMPLETELY!!!!!! Now I'm suffering and learning how to go about with my life with ONE EYE!!!!!!!! Seems like a common occurrence, with the way staff here are use to patients coming out of the room blind!!!! After one of the staff members heard what happened, she responded "again"?!?! I'm so upset about finding out after the fact that Aaron Avni had many failed cataract surgeries and also found out he has some wise, sarcastic remarks when he is informed of his mistakes. Highly suggest to see another office and stay away from this so called doctor named Aaron Avni.
