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.

If you ever want to meet a man and a doctor that is more concerned about your vision. This is the one! He saved my eye sight, and was willing to even pull a emergency team together just to save mind. I am so blessed that the good Lord guided me to him in my hour of need. I had a retina detachment left and lazered the right. Thanks to his quickness, concern for his patients, and excellent skills, I now have my eye sight. Thank you so much Dr. Ittiara. I can never repay you enough.
