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.

All the staff who did the pre-testing and examinations, receptionists, and of course Dr. Christine Speer-Buono were wonderful.

I had a persistent chalazion that had gotten worse while I was out of town. Dr. Speer- Buono was able to fit me in, even though I had never been to her practice before. Between the office procedure and prescription ointment, it is almost gone. I am grateful.
