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.

Rude and Very Impatient
Dr. Fishburne and his assistant were terrible. He was impatient and scolded me angrily for wincing when the exam was unnecessary painful. I’ve never had a retinal exam hurt at all, let alone like that. His assistant was rude and dismissed any questions I had. Two other friends have complained and had the same experience, one actually had to take him in the hallway and warn him to treat his girlfriend more kindly as he was injecting her eyes. Sadistic and extremely impatient. Office staff confirmed he and his assistant have caused numerous complaints.

He's been taking care of me since 2004. He follows through with the best treatment options for his patients. Make sure you are properly taken care of in and out of the office.
