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.

Keep up the good work!

Doctor was aware that I'm from out of town, she expressed concern if I had problems getting to appointments on time. She would work me in if I was ever late because of traffic. I really appreciated that thought

I really love the knowledge, perfectionism and dedication provided by Dr. Catherine T.. Because cornea in my r-eye had tissue loss that could cause blindness she suggested eye drops or a laser procedure and gave me a choice. I asked her opinion and she suggested laser procedure which was done and was very successful. I only hate that because of staffing I'll have to see another specialist but will alternate with Dr. T.. I prefer to see Dr.T. At all times but do understand why I have to make this transition. Thanks Dr.T for all my successful eye treatment.
