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.

THANK YOU VVVERY MUCH!
Dr. Ronald Swendris possesses a rare talent: when he just enters the room and greets you, you start feeling healthy and elated, no matter how bad you suffered just a second before. Very professional, knowledgeable, and caring. Cannot find words to express my gratitude.

I had a serious concern & errored in my appointment time by an hour. Dr Swendris still worked me into his schedule, staying late for me. He was thorough and patient with me, explained my issues, and made a referral for further testing to my Doctor.

Was very professional and addressed all my concerns as I was leaving the next morning for Florida and made the appointment 530 the night before very glad I was able to get the appointment and relieved to find out just a blood vessel broke and not serious.

Dr. Swendris is an extremely professional ophthalmologist who treats his patients with care. He is thorough in his checkups and explains clearly any eye ailments and directions that need to followed. I found him to be courteous as well, a very good chair side manner!

it was my first visit with this Doctor and I believe he has a good knowledge of his field - but I was surprised that he had not gotten my medical records from Shoreline Vision and I felt he did not do a good job of listening to some of my viewpoints - but was very clear in telling me his viewpoints - which in the long run might be the right answer - but initially was off-putting. I will continue to proceed with my glaucoma treatment with him - but my first impression was less than spectacular.
