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.

Dr. Choinski performed cataract surgery on both my husband’s and my eyes. My husband’s surgery was about 10 years ago and mine was completed recently. All cataract surgeries were performed with the utmost care, planning, and follow-up. Excellent ophthalmologist and excellent team!

Per usual Paul Choinski makes you feel that he cares because it’s not an act. He actually cares about his patients and even though it’s non-stop at his office I never feel like he’s not present. He did my cataract surgery on both eyes and I have complete confidence in him.
