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.
It's like an assembly line production at the Grand Haven office. They overbook appointments because they're owned by the corporates. You're not a name, you're a number. Wham bam thank you ma'am fashion. He botched up my first cataract surgery. Still can't see clearly out of my eye. That's why I don't go there anymore.

Dr. Barron is best communicator I ever met. The operation was great success and I can see like I haven’t in a long time. Can’t wait for the other eye!

I highly recommend Dr. Barron. He talks directly to his patients and explains in understandable detail about your eyesight and what to expect with any given procedure you may have. He is approachable and easy to talk to. Obviously very knowledgeable in his field of practice. I trust him with my eyesight and so should you.

Dr. Barron has taken care of my eyes for the last 10 years and just recently performed LASIK surgery on me. I can see clearly without vision correction for the first time since the 3rd grade! I would highly recommend Dr. Barron as a skilled and caring provider!

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Barron?
I went to see him in October because straight lines had become wavy. He said it was age related wet macular, there was nothing that could be done. In 5 months I went back for regular yearly checkup, could not read anything on the chart except the large E. Then he referred me to a Retina Spec., who told me about an eye vitamin and began giving me shots to the wet eye. Doctor Barron dropped the ball and cost me some vision loss
