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.

Really disappointed. Every patient should count.
I wish I could have nice things to say about Dr. Birdi. My mom has been a long time client of the practice, but sadly, that very popular and beloved Ophthalmologist passed away (way too early). Ever since, my mom has seen Dr. Birdi. While the office staff continues to be stellar, professional and very sweet, Dr. Birdi can't get out of the exam room quickly enough. My mom has to beg for a prescription, and the last time we went, he just told us 'no change' without even doing a full exam. I'm sure he got paid the full amount from insurance for his 180 second visit though.If this had been a single experience, I'd chalk it up to him having a busy schedule or a bad day, but this is 3 years now. My mom is the sweetest lady, every health practitioner she sees loves her ... but I have to assume Dr. Birdi either has no interest in providing basic eye exams (finds them beneath his talents maybe?), or dislikes the elderly. Anyway, I'm looking for someone new.
