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.

Run Away
New and now former patient here,My wife was charged $949 for two eye exams and two contact fittings for herself and our child. No products, contacts, no glasse, lenses and this price is AFTER insurance was billed $400, and medical insurance $60. So roughly $1,400 in charges for 2 eye exams and fittings. Prices are 3-5x more expensive than other local optometrists and big chains alike.Red Flags1.Pricing is not discussed up front, but they will lie and say that it is or was. 2.They ask you to do special tests that aren't covered by insurance and then don't disclose results. 3.They prescribe contacts that you haven't worn before even if the wearer explicitly asks to remain in the lenses you've worn for 15 years.4. They perform and charge for tests that you didn't authorize.5. They quoted daily lenses for $1280 that can be purchased online for $700.All of this is done to extract as much money from you as possible to increase their bottom line.TLDR Run, don't walk away.
