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.

Not willing to assist an emergency on a Saturdays means you must only have a medical issue during the week !

Dr. Schottenstein is an amazing Doctor. He takes the time to thoroughly examine you and he is the only doctor that examins you. I did have to wait for him but I wouldn’t trust the health of my eyes to anyone else. If you just want glasses or an annual exam go somewhere else. But if your truly afraid of going blind and you just don’t know where to go, go to Dr. Schottenstein. You won’t regret it.
