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.

Excellent doctor and staff
I bring my 90 year old aunt across town because of the excellent staff at this office. Mimi (spelling?)was so good setting her up for the various procedures and very patient with her memory, hearing and physical issues. Thank you.

Reassured patient
Dr K was his usual affable, competent and kind self. He reassured me that my red eye was likely a broken blood vessel; which would heal on its own in a week or two. And that upon a thorough examination, my eyes were fine.

Dr. Kruthoff was personable yet professional
Dr. Kruthoff explained everything he was doing, and what his observations meant. He also explained what needed immediate attention and what just needed observation. He has been my vision professional for several years and I have complete confidence in the care he provides.
