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.

Terrible. Waited 2 1/2 hours. Packs in the patients, does “experimental” procedures not covered by your insurance company, then tries to sell you his “much better” (much overpriced) multivitamins!! Guy is money, money, money hungry.

Dr. Fava schedules patients every 10 minutes. We ended up waiting 2 hrs to see him. All the tests were administered by technicians. The technicians put drops in the eye. I don't think we will go back there would not recommend.

He is excellent and thorough. The wait time is horrible/ridiculous. The scheduling dept should allow more time for individual appts. This is so bad I will look for another ophthalmologist. This appt ends up to be a 90+ minute appt just to check for cataracts. Bring lunch or dinner if you had an appt. people were sitting and complaining about the long waiting

I have seen doctor Fava for years and always been treated in a caring professional manner. I feel well informed about the health of my eyes and things that I can do to keep them healthy. He has also performed PRK eye corrective surgery on me and I could not be happier.

Dr. Fava is a wonderful and dedicated doctor. While his wait times may seem excessive just know that it is because he treats every single patient like they are his own family. He cares deeply about patient health and happiness.

He genuinely cares about each one of his patients! He knows each person, their families and their history. You can just tell he will do his best for you because he actually LISTENS. You really just don't find Doctors like that anymore!
