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.

Improving my eye sights without wearing glasses was my dream, and I turned to Dr. Christina Prescott to make it a reality. Dr. Prescott is an exceptional ophthalmologist and surgeon with outstanding technical skills and a thoughtful, patient-centered approach. She patiently explained the procedures to me and answered all my questions before the surgeries. Both surgeries for my eyes were scheduled perfectly. Remarkably, just one day after each surgery, I could see everything clearly, both near and far, without needing glasses. Dr. Prescott is truly amazing and works wonders.

I would like to thank Dr. Prescott for the eye surgery she performed in March 2020. Within 2 weeks, I drove to Florida and back without the use of glasses. How wonderful! I think Dr. Prescott deserves a 5 star rating and I believe her assistant Linda, deserves 5 stars as well! I am very grateful!!

I highly recommend Dr. Prescott. I was very anxious at my first visit. She listened, answered all my questions and explained my options. I was very happy with the outcome of my surgery. My vision is so much better, I now enjoy reading and doing my crafts again because I can see so much better. I also have Fuchs' Dystrophy and Dr. Prescott has helped me develop a plan for that also. I feel I have received phenomenal care from Dr. Prescott. I look forward to having her take care of my Fuchs' Dystrophy. She is such a caring, concerned and knowledgable doctor. Her staff are just as polite and caring as she is. Thank you so much Dr. Prescott for the care you have provided for me so far. I look forward to having you continue caring for my eyes.

Dr Prescott is an excellent surgeon and I'm very happy with the outcome of my cataract surgery. Just as important to me she listened, answered all my questions, and explained the various options. When I had a small complication immediately post-op she was responsive and helpful. I highly recommend Dr Prescott.

Dr Prescott performed a partial cornea transplant (DMEC) and cataract surgery on my left eye in April 2019. Recovery was slower than I expected, but now I'm seeing better than I have since I was 10 (now 73). At my appointment today, my left eye was measured at 20-25. Dr. Prescott is very good at sharing details of the surgical procedure and information about the progress of recovery. I am completely satisfied with every aspect of her work. The other doctors I've seen in her Bel Air practice are also caring and efficient. Thanks, Dr Prescott, for an amazing experience. I'm glad it was YOU who did my surgery.

I cannot say enough about the care and positive experience I had with Dr. Prescott who operated on both my eyes. I was very anxious and her bedside manner was very comforting. My outcome of my surgery was outstanding and she is one of the most competent eye surgeons I have seen in my many years of treating my condition. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Prescott !!!

I have been under the care of Dr. Prescott for a cornea injury that dates back to 1989. Dr. Prescott has provided me with phenomenal eye care. She is compassionate, understanding, and medically extremely competent. I have been very pleased with the care she has provided to me.

I had two cataracts operated on by Dr. Prescott, Apr 1 and May 16. I am thrilled with my results. My vision was very impaired by yellow fog due to discolored cataracts. I couldn't even see myself in the mirror. I felt nearly blind. My sight now is amazingly sharp, clear and colorful. It doesn't happen overnight but my results are outstanding and the colors are especially bright and a delight to see now. I am glad Dr. Prescott was my cataract surgeon. Thank you.

I would defiantly recommend Dr. Christina Prescott to everyone I know. She is wonderful caring surgeon that did cataract surgery on my eye that was deformed since birth. I had been to several other doctors and left every time thinking these other doctors had know idea what they were talking about. Dr. Prescott said she had seen this deformity before and had done this surgery before and made me feel she was positive she could do the surgery. I now have the vision I have dreamed of. She made me feel comfortable and assured everything would be good.

Dr. Prescott did my cataract surgery on my right eye. I have had problems since the surgery. I have been back six times and the problem still exists. On my last visit I waited a long time to be seen. Other patients who arrived after me were seen first. When I questioned this Dr. Prescott went off on me. Very unprofesdional!! Thecofficecstaff was great however
