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 Pilkinton is the best
I would trust no one else with my eyes. I consider him a friend although we have no contact outside his office.

Excellent!
Everyone at his office was great. His assistant who did all my testing was so kind! Dr P told me that I didn’t need cataract surgery yet, though my dr had referred me for that reason. Appreciate his honesty! I’ll be back!

Great Experience and Results
Dr. Pilkinton did a great job with my Cataract Surgery on both eyes! I went with the Intraocular lenses and can see better than 20/20 on the charts. He's very knowledgeable and is there to do a (great) job. All questions were answered and he was pleasant in all the appointments.

I had surgery for myopia along with severe astigmatism in 1994 when the technology first came to Tennessee. Dr. Pilkington was actually fun to work with. He was professional, sensitive to my fear and did a flawless job. To this day my vision is still great. I have to say I am now 61 years old and still do not need reading glasses, bonus in my book. Thank you to Dr. Pilkington and his staff I have my vision and a full life with my vision.

My husband and I had gone to see another Cataract Ophthalmologist in Dickson who told us that our eyes were very bad and we needed laser surgery quickly. The price was also very high, he told us that we were poor candidates for regular cataract surgery. I just had a bad feeling about this and proceeded to get an appointment with Pilkington Eye Center. OMGOSH!! How wonderful to know that I had no real issues, a bit of cataract but not needing surgery right away. I could wait a couple of years o
