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.

My doctor referred me to Dr. Etienne for an ominous black growth on my eyelid. Her staff were cordial and competant. Dr. Etienne did a thorough examination and called in another obviously skilled surgeon to examine the lesion. She then proceeded with a painless and clearly expert surgical procedure to remove the growth. On my follow-up appointment traces of the growth were still present. These were also skillfully removed in a painless surgical procedure. Now the eyelid is free of any growth and completely normal. The growth had been unsightly and a source of worry to me for years. I am very grateful to Dr. Etienne for the pleasant and expert way she handled this. I would recommend her to anyone in need of an expert eye surgeon.

She has been my Dr for over 10 years. She is consistently responsive and gives all the time needed to answer questions and perform her examination. Very much admired by her patients, staff and other medical professionals in area. If I could give her 10 stars instead of 5, I would do so.

My first experience with Dr Etienne was taking my mother to her. She had surgery for glaucoma and years later remains so happy as a patient. For the last 3 years, I am also a patient of her. She is amazing, consistent and extremely talented in her field.

Dr. Etienne is very competent, thorough and friendly. I find it easy to get appointments to be seen. Her staff is excellent as well. I have glaucoma, and I will not trust my eyes to anyone other than Dr. Etienne.
