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.

Awesome
This was my first visit to Dr Jacobs office and I was thoroughly impressed. His staff was ever so kind and friendly. I had a thorough eye exam and Dr Jacobs explained all that was going on. I felt like I had been going there for years - I was part of the family!!!
