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.

I've been coming hear for years. Now, they gave me my glasses without a case, didn't even check that they fit me, or if my glasses needed adjustment. I asked about this and they said it's because I have IEHP. Wow, so I guess they only care about you if you have certain eye plans.

My family and I have been going to Dr. Higa for 5 years and we don’t go anywhere else. His staff is very welcoming and he is very informative and all around cool doc. My kids love his office and he has helped my husband find a specialist for his diabetic eye issues. I recommend him to anyone who ask.

He was they only Dr. (Out of many!) to help me understand the challenges I had with astigmatism and trying to wear contacts. When I thought I was crazy always telling (other) Dr's., "I don't know why these contacts don't feel right", they just through a different brand at me telling me to try those. Dr. Higa took the time to explain to me WHY contacts may never work for me having astigmatism. I finally got the answers I was looking for and I don't feel crazy anymore. He treats his patients right
