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.

I started out with a simple cataract that ended in a disaster due to a misjudgement by Dr. Temnycky. The doc used a toric lens by Alcon for astigmatism. During the surgery it was discovered that I had broken zonules which contra-indicated the use of the toric lens. The Doc proceeded anyway by using a tension ring to stabilize the toric lens. I was later told by the manufacturer, Alcon, that using the toric lens with broken zonules was an incorrect off-label use. Shortly after, the entire mechanism fell out and I had to have emergency surgery. I believe Doctor Temnycky took shortcuts and should have stopped the procedure when the broken zonules were discovered, but he did not and I suffered the consequences.
