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.

Great appointment.
Dr Hammersmith and his staff are wonderful. They are all very pleasant and put you at ease to make for a great appointment.

Best eye care!
Although I haven't had any eye issues, the office staff is thorough, efficient and fast. Dr..Hammersmith is just great, knowledgeable and personable. Not your typical Dr!

nice but neglectful
Neglected to tell us about a prescription written but we were advised by the secretary and the optical Staff that my daughter didn’t need it. Very confusing when we were told her eyes were fine with the doctor.
