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.

Wright performed cataract surgery on both my eyes. He claims the surgery was successful, but my vision and the overall condition of my eyes has seriously deteriorated. No mea culpa on the 'side effects' of this 'successful' surgery. Overheard another patient remark something to the effect that one treated by a medical professional should expect improvement to his condition, but not, as was in case as well, a worsening thereof.
