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.

Dr. Edelstein is a highly skilled surgeon. I had one of my eyes operated a few years ago by another doctor and now I had my 2nd eye done by Dr. Edelstein. What a difference! Dr. Edelstein is excellent!! I wish I would have had my first eye done by him.

Dr. Edelstein is totally awesome and his workers are friendly, professional and efficient. I am very impressed by his receptionists because occasionally I see some really crazy patients (and I mean really abusive nutcases) and Dr. Edelstein's secretaries keep their cool and are totally respectful to those patients. But the important thing, is the doctor and Dr. Edelstein is tops!! He is knowledgeable, thorough and has a great bedside matter!! 5 Stars!!
