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.

Large turnover in staff. Basic vision (refraction) exams done by individuals "trained" in-house. I had to pay for my prescription and ordered glasses that were not correct. I had a repeat exam by an optometrist and it showed discrepancies in compared information. With this information, I don't have trust in the staff's ability to perform these tasks. They also insist on performing this exam and Medicare does not pay for it.
