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.

I had my eye lids lifted and my cataract removed by Dr. Long. I was referred by my neighbor and I couldn’t be happier with my outcome. He did an outstanding job with both surgeries! Some people have gifts to do something they were made to do, Dr. Long is the epitome of that. I’m so happy I was referred to Dr. Long!

No bedside manner. Does not take the time to explain things or even talk to you. My mom had cataract surgery with bad results...her corneas swelled in both eyes and this place didn't seem to care.

Dr Long seems like a nice guy. For the whole minute that I seen him before he operated on my eyes. I was disappointed that he did not take care to cut my eyelids even on both sides. I'm not a surgeon, but I am a nurse, the sutures were huge and unforgiving. It was like he was having a bad day first thing in the morning. They schedule d my follow up to take my sutures out 7 days later.. It was to long, the sutures were coming out, so I took them out myself. I felt like a number not a patien
