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. Guess was very sincere in his explanation of my upcoming surgery. He explained everything in detail. And he is good surgeon!!

Dr. Guess is a very knowledgeable physician. I have Birdshot Chorioretinopathy. I went to two other doctors before being referred to Dr Guess. Dr. Guess immediately knew what my problem was. His diagnosis of Birdshot was correct and he wasted no time in treating it. Because of this Doctor I can see! I feel so blessed that he is my doctor and I thank God for this man daily! If you are looking for someone familiar with treating Birdshot, here’s your doctor!

Dr. Guess and his surgical team did a wonderful job saving my eyesight. He went out of his way bringing a team together for a retinal detachment meaning coming in very early in the morning before his regular patients to preform surgery on me. He explains things clearly so you can understand what is happening. I would recommend him to anyone in search of a caring professional eye doctor.

i've had 3 operations with Dr. Guess and will have a fourth in a few months. I have had superior experiences each time, from his pre-op staff to his anesthesiologist to Dr. Guess himself. He is clear in his conversations and honest in his assessments. He is confident in his abilities. Each operation has been successful with a minimum of pain.
