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.

Wonderful but I haven't been able to get in to see him in over a year. Nobody will tell us why he isn't taking patients now.

I would highly recommend Dr Avery. A couple of years ago I suddenly lost sight in my right eye. When I got to his office I was seen by Dr Avery very quickly upon my arrival at his office. I could not see anything with my right eye except a little light in the right corner. Dr Avery restored my eyesight by drawing off fluid. Sadly my retina was damaged by a stroke of the blood vessel that supplies blood to the retina so I have partially lost eyesight to that eye.
