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.

Still apparent today as years ago
I have seen Dr Forstot for 20 years following a cornea transplant in 2004. I believe the success I have had is solely related to Dr Forstot and the quality of doctor he is. His knowledge, professionalism, and being personable is just as apparent today as it was years ago. Thank you Dr Forstot and thank you for your great staff.
