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.
The office is extremely well run....Kay the office manager is knowledgeable.. efficient and a pleasure...she listens and treats me as if I'm the only patient and has the unique ability to understand anxiety......it's obvious she really cares..returns calls extremely fast and knows exactly

Dr. Hazelton came highly recommended. He was very professional but made me feel at ease. He was thorough and explained my condition, the surgery procedure and aftercare. As anyone facing surgery is anxious, I am confident knowing I am in good hands with Dr. Hazelton.

I never really feel like I am getting the details of info that I want. Like specific numbers vs “ doing well.” I was told that he would go over all the specifics and details virtually, as they appeared on the screen. But he didn’t. Said hello virtually then came in to look at my eyes. I’m used to more interaction and information exchange. Lara, on the other hand was wonderful!
