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.

In recent years wait times have increased and actual time spent with Dr. Stoken has decreased to less than 5 minutes per visit. On the positive note however, Dr Stoken saw me the same day that I called in with an emergant issue and performed laser surgery the following day to fix the problem.

Worked with Dr. Melvin Wagner and team to have cataracts removed in both eyes. The experience was outstanding. From the front desk staff to the OR team and prep nurses- the staff was professional at every step of the way. The follow- up visit was extremely helpful and the staff at the office were fantastic. Would highly recommend to anyone needing this procedure.

I had an eye emergency and Dr. Stoken saw me immediately. He diagnosed my problem and explained it to me thoroughly. He and his staff were efficient and easy to understand. I will definitely be going back.

Dr. Stoken replaced my cataract lenses about a year and a half ago. I am still very happy with the results. He and his staff are outstanding. And what I'm very thankful for is his follow up commitment. During this period, he ensured all questions and concerns were fully resolved.

I had to wait 50 minutes with no explanation on two out of three visits. I now go to another doctor.

Dr Stoken diagnosed and treats me for wet macular degeneration. When I awoke one morning to find that my vision was extremely distorted in one eye, I called his office and they were able to squeeze me in within an hour and a half. Dr Stoken is very knowledgable, understanding, supportive and up to date with the latest trials and treatments. He takes time to explain the status of my progress and answer any questions that I may have. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else!
