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.

Best Eye Doctor and Surgeon
Best eye doctor and surgeon. He is caring and compassionate. He listens to your needs and is he very knowledgeable. I had cataract surgery on both eyes and happy with my results. He called me after each surgery and that meant a lot to me. What a great doctor. Thanks Dr. Pilavas . I will definitely recommend him to my family and friends.

I went to see Dr. Pilavas for a foreign body removal - I had a peice of metal in my eye! I was so nervous but Dr. Pilavas and his staff were amazing. He was calm and he made me feel at ease. He explained everything he was doing and I didn't feel any pain or discomfort. I am so grateful that he was able to see me and remove the metal from my eye. He even called me the next day to see how I was doing. Very professional. I highly recommend Dr. Pilavas.
