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.

Friendly, considerate, cheerful staff and Dr.
The staff was consistently friendly, on time, good explainers, good listeners and encouraging. Dr. Raiji was similarly a pleasure to have as a doctor.

Great opthamologist
Love going to see her. The office staff as well as Dr. are friendly and helpful. She is always thorough and can find out what causes the problem. I was on a medication that eventually caused my eye infection. She figured it out. I've done better since. I highly recommend her.

outstanding and so gentle and understanding
The staff is so professional and friendly, treating each patient whether in person or on the phone with respect. I noticed this on my visit to the office on Mon, Jun 3rd . Kudos to the receptionist and or administrator who kept her cool amidst some challenges including being understaffed for the day. The testing can be arduous but all staff give excellent instructions! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.Kathleen Flynn
