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.

Dr. Michel is very nice, knowledgeable and clearly explains everything in detail, she makes my husband and I feel very comfortable with the exam and diagnosis of any problems we might have. She’s the best optometrist we’ve been to.

Fixed the Problem
For a long time I had double vision for distance. I had been checked for glasses by two other ophthalmologists over the years who did nothing to correct the issue. On my first visit to Dr. Michel, she fixed the problem by adding 'prisms' to my lenses.

I’ve had astigmatism all my life. She claimed I didn’t have astigmatism, yet my prescription denoted some astigmatism in one eye. After visiting an ophthalmologist he confirmed I had astigmatism in both eye, and one eye worse than the other. Do yourself a favor and find a competent eye doctor.

Dr. Michael is awesome... professional, knowledgeable, efficient, caring, and really positive and upbeat. She carefully evaluated my vision and gave me some options in the context of improving my prescription. Best optometrist I have ever had! Thank you for all your help!
