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 doctor, I have been a patient over 20 years and highly recommend Dr. Reid.

Trusted ophthalmologist
Excellent visit. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Reid for many years. He has helped me transition to progressive bifocals as I got older; he takes time to explain any changes in my vision. I feel that I’m seeing better now than at any time previously, in spite of age-related changes such as floaters, etc. I highly recommend Dr. Reid.

Dr. Reid did a thorough exam, not only updating my prescription, but checking my eye pressure, cataract progression, and the state of my macula. He answered all of my questions.

This is my second visit to this CEI location. The staff was definitely more friendly this visit. This is a very busy office and there was a little wait time but well with it. Dr Reid diagnosed my detached retina with in 5 minutes of his exam and the eye surgeon on staff saw me right away. I had surgery the next morning at the CEI BlueAsh surgery center. I would highly recommend seeing and eye Doctor verses an Optometrist for all eye exams. Dr. Reid was very competent and professional.

Great service very through in the visit. Explained every think they were doing and why. Was there to have eyes checked to keep a base line because if the type of medication I'm currently on and will be for some time. Could not find my glasses that I had right before I had to be there. When I told them about it they told me it's OK they had to do an exam anyway. I was also given a prescription for new eye glasses at the same visit. Will not go any where else after going CEI. I will not be going back to the other eye doctors I had before. Great job to the doctor and his staff! 5 out of 5 from me.
