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.

Dr. Gabay has been my Glaucoma doctor for over 10 years. She removed a cataract last year...I was worried about the procedure, but she made me feel calmer about it and it turned out to be extremely easy. I had the second one a month later! Thanks, Dr. Gabay!

Saved my father's vision
My Dad had been undertreated for years for glaucoma. We finally found Dr. Gabay through a friend. With a combination of drops and laser, his pressure is now far better.

Her picture....I don't remember her being black. I guess that I didn't notice. Great Doctor. I especially like the eye patch and parot she gave me. She is really nice and special.
