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.

Excellent ophthalmologist, and informative.

Wonderful doctor. He performed cataract surgery on my 94 year old mother who was very nervous. She loved him and wanted to go back to have her other eye done ASAP! Great result. Every interaction our family has had with this clinic has been good.

I had cataract surgery. The surgery went well, but he sold me on Restor lenses, which turned out to be totally inappropriate for my eyes. This was confirmed by the 3 other Dr.'s I saw afterwards, and the information that I read in the Ophthalmology magazine for eye Dr.'s. I have a astigmatism, never should have gotten these lenses. As a result, he got $1200 on top of Medicare's payment for the surgery, and I have dry eye, vision that's 3x's worst than I ever had, even with the cataracts!
