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.

Greatest eye care
Dr. Hulburg has taken care of my eyes for over three years. He has helped me through scary floaters, prescriptions for glasses and clearing of my cloudy cataracts. I’m so happy that my medical physician referred me to Dr. Hulburg and Pacific Eye when I moved to SLO county a little over three years ago. He explains things well and answers all my questions. I know he and his team take the greatest care of my precious vision.
