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.

He and his staff was amazing with my 6 year old. They were all friendly, competent, and patient.

Seems knowledgable. Not friendly. Not punctual. Not forthcoming about procedure, aftercare. Must ask questions or you won't get any information about what to expect or prepare for.

Dr Johnson does not greet you-he comes in, puts on a mask, jabs a needle in your eye, and leaves, without saying a word...it creeps me out. Perhaps he is extremely shy, or socially handicapped, and is really a very nice man, but it feels like contempt.
