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 would recommend Dr. Kuruvilla highly to anyone needing eye surgery and give him a 5 Star rating. I recently had catarac surgery on both eyes, a week apart and the results couldn't have been any better. Dr. Kuruvilla's knowledge, expertise, professionalism, and personable nature made my experience great and the results remarkable. He answered all my questions and explained every detail to me. I was very apprehensive, but his explanations of what was to come put me at ease. I consider Dr. Kuruvilla a miracle worker, making my world even more brilliantly beautiful.

Dr. Kuruvilla, you rock! This is Kim, Lisa's sister-in-law. You performed surgery on both eyes and to remove cataracts. Surgery was great. No longer need glasses to drive. I do need glasses for reading due to stigmatism, but other then that, not needed. I also want to praise your staff, they really took care of me. Recommend Dr. Kuruvilla to anyone needing this type of eye surgery.

I recently had cataract surgery on both eyes. I am thrilled with the results! Before choosing Dr. Kuruvilla, I did a LOT of research and spoke to dozens of people who'd had the same surgery within the previous 12 months. Dr. Kuruvilla's name kept coming up and no one had a bad word to say about him, which was not the case with other cataract surgeons; in fact I heard some horror stories. So I did even more research on Dr. Kuruvilla, and he is is an extremely impressive doctor with an amazing background. I selected him and was very happy with his office staff and the doc himself. I am 3 weeks post surgery for the second eye, and have perfect vision, both distance and close up. Could not be happier. Have recommended him to everyone I know. You only have one pair of eyes, so make sure you do it right and go to Dr. Oscar Kuruvilla.

Dr. Kuruvilla has quite literally changed my life by restoring my sight. He will strike you as a friendly humble man worthy of respect and admiration. While under procedure he even played some favorite music solely for me. Remarkable. I have went from a dark world to one of promise and light. My recommendations for Dr. Kuruvilla are of the highest order. You may rest easy on that. In the end, He makes it a painless gift of sight.

Dr Kuruvilla is a real professional in everyway. He is focused on the patient, interested in your every concern. He is very knowledgeable in his field, so I have total trust and confidence in his advice and decisions. He preformed my cataract surgery, and it went from beginning to end very smoothly. He is carning also for my macular degeneration and for two years it has not changed. He is an exceptional Ophthalmologist. I have and will continue to highly recomend him to my family and friends.

Dr. Kuruvilla has a laidback, friendly bedside manner and patiently explains complicated conditions and gives plenty of time for discussion. I never felt rushed and always felt like he treated me with great respect. He also seems extremely knowledgeable, and is kind enough to work hard to minimize the cost of care where possible.

Dr Kuruvilla is a wonderful addition to the Mecklenburg Eye Associates. His bedside manner is top notch, always willing to send the time needed to thoroughly examine my eyes and then explain any and all findings in a patience friendly way so that everyone understands.He is friendly and outgoing, yet extremely knowledgeable and professional in his treatment of my retinopathy. He is also supported by a terrific staff of associates. I can't imagine going anywhere else for my eye care.
