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.

He was easy to talk about my vision concerns and addressed all my concerns including getting the correct glasses.I recommend him to my friends and family.

Had an appointment available day of. Was seen by the doctor who took time to explain the various tests and results conducted. Doctor worked with me to find the right prescription. I was also able to be fitted for eye glasses during the visit and able to take them home the same day!

Everyone in the office was extremely professional and they exhibited the most understand and respect. I have been to countless eye doctors and I have never had an experience like this before. I would recommend them to everyone I know.

Very professional, and the entire office was extremely polite. Very clean inside. Overall I loved the experience. From the front desk,(Ali) Who was so pleasant and helpful, He even got me an appointment that fit in my class schedule; to the appointment with the doctor; to picking out the glasses. They were very thorough and I received my glasses in two days! I had an appointment on Friday and received a call saying my glasses were ready on Monday! I have never had this happen before. Overall I would definitely recommend this office.

Keturah H. – Nov 17, 2021

Dr. Burris seemed pleasant enough during my two short visits, and the wait was not too long. However, he left my condition unresolved without ever checking on my health, while billing me for an amount to which I never agreed. I would be very cautious about undertaking any visit to this practice. This practice provided me with incorrect information about their billing and then proceeded to charge me 10 times the amount that I was told before making the appointments -- I made a follow-up appointment still believing the erroneous information they gave me at first. Inquiries about the inaccuracy were ignored. Never once did the doctor check on me and the condition which brought me to him in the first place. I'd been referred by my regular ophthalmalogist who does not treat this condition.

On my first visit to Ovation Eye Institute, both doctor Burris and the eyewear staff were high professional, efficient, and personable. Followup visit was even better. I highly reccomend this provider.
