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 helpful and pleasant staff, great bedside manners, better than expected results.

Thank you for the kind words and review!
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Short?
After being diagnosed with cataracts I was advised of my treatment options and the associated costs by a non-healthcare salesperson. After making it clear what my choices were and setting a date for the operations and filling a pile of paperwork that she wanted me to sign without reading, as I was walking out the door she hands me a piece of paper that changes the price of my options from $750 / eye to $1245 / eye. It was like being in a car dealership. I have found a new Ophthalmologist.
