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.

Very quick and effective visit!

Excellent doctor
My eye was killing me. They were able to get me into an emergency slot. Dr. Ray was very thorough and kind. Was able to diagnose and prescribe steroids to help my eye heal. Will definitely return. Front desk very kind as well.

Super helpful took time to explain things to me so I'd understand. Never heard the eye described as an m&m but totally made sense and helped me understand what was going on.
