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. Handa repaired my retinal detachment. He was great at explaining the operation and answered all my questions. All the other doctors and nurses were great also.

I only have one eye and that eye developed a macular pucker from an epiretinal membrane. Dr Handa removed this from my retina and saved my vision .. He is an awesome surgeon and wonderful person and even though he is world renowned, his personality and bedside manner is wonderful. He is an amazing person and Doctor . I highly recommend him ...
