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.

Had laser tx for cataract scar tissue that resulted in vitriol prolapse, requiring surgical correction. Partner had cataract surgery that resulted in severe swelling, pain and cloudiness of vision, which eventually improved after a month of drops. Office is extremely busy.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Medina?
This entire group is wonderful BUT Dr Medina is my doctor and I would highly rec him to anyone looking for a caring, patient, knowledgeable eye dr. He spent many visits w/me to get to the bottom of my problem and I am now having great results from his care. The staff is caring and wait time is usually minimal. Appointments are also easy to schedule.
