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 Best of the Best!
I had my first visit with Dr. Kirzhner, and I'm glad I waited the time necessary to get an appointment. This doctor was incredibly knowledgeable about my condition. She gave me a lot of time and attention and suggested a very modest approach to improvement, rather than rushing me into a surgery that might be totally unnecessary in the long run. I highly recommend her!

Not a pleasant experience
I was called a week in advance to make sure I’d arrive on time. Received a text as well. Once I arrive no one knows what’s going on and they are too lazy to run insurance ahead of time. No one answers the phone. Nobody informed me that Dr Kirzhner changed locations. I wasted hours of driving for nothing. And was told I can pay a $200 copayment to be seen. The place is clean though and the people seem nice. I’m mad NOONE does their jobs correctly or thorough. I am disappointed at the negligence of this location and its workers.

Dr. Kirzhner and Dr. Wilbanks performed reconstructive surgery on my son after his tear duct was ripped apart by a dog bite. The work they did was absolutely amazing. They were able to get the lower eye lid exactly where it was supposed to go. I was very impressed. Thank you to for the great work!!!
