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. Spiegel
Although it was not a very long visit, it was a short wait, they were very kind, and I felt like Dr. Spiegel was prepared for my situation. She immediately had options for me and knew that I had kidney issues so one of the options she ruled out from the beginning. I really appreciated that kind of service. I many times go to the doctor fill out forms. Tell my first point of contact all of my information and then the doctor comes in and says so why are you here today? I often feel like I waste my time, filling out forms and telling somebody what my situation. I felt like my time was respected.

Always Concerned
Dr. Spiegel has been monitoring my retina for several years and is always professional and tends to be more cautious about doing a surgery which I appreciate.

Long Time Patient of Pacific Eye.
Professional in all aspects. Due to auto accidents on Hwy 101 south near Hwy 58 exit traffic was congested & delayed my appointment arrival time. I telephoned to alert staff that I most likely would be late. I arrived 15 minutes late - no issues.

Worth The Wait
Dr Spiegal was very thorough in her examination and explained clearly what was going on with my eye. The only negative was an hour and fifteen minute wait before I was seen by the doctor.
