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.

This doctor should probably look into treating animals instead of people. he came across as mean and did not even care to explain all the findings from the numerous tests they subjected me to.

Best doctor! Highly recommend!
Best doctor! Highly recommend! Never felt rushed even when I had a long list of questions prior to and after cataract surgery in 2024. It is very apparent that he is accomplished and cares greatly about his patients, easing their concerns and providing the information necessary to make informed decisions. I never thought I would spend the time to write a good review for any doctor. Sometimes it is just that deserved.

  • Listened & answered questions

Awful esperience
I found him to rude and impatient with my hearing difficulties. He seemed very agitated and hurried. I will not see him again as I have changed opthamologists due to him. Dr. Miller, his predecessor, was an amazing doctor. I have never had another doctor be so rude.
