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.

Long wait
Waited over an hour. Dr was hard to understand. Couldn't see the floater I had in my eye and I have to pay another copay to go back and see the other Dr because he wanted me to.

Efficient, caring and excellent Dr
I had a severe case of Shingles that nearly covered the left side of my head.My left eye was so affected that my primary physician said I needed to see a specialist. I feel so fortunate to have been referred to Dr Shifera. He helped me through the long process of recovery and ongoing issues and concerns. Because he is from a different country his accent can be challenging at times but when asked he always repeats whenever needed and makes certain you understand. Also this can be a busy clinic but the staff has always been helpful and responsive. I highly recommend Flaum Institute in Batavia.

This office has the worst patient flow coordination. I have waited, and I am still waiting more than 2 hours to be seen by the doctor. Front desk personnel does not seem to care at all. Bad administration and very slow. I would not recommend this practice.
