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.

Always great!
I have always had a great experience with Dr. Panttaja. I’m going to miss him when we move!

Kings Eye Center
I have been seeing Dr Panttaja for about three years, and he is kind and does a thorough examination to insure my eyes are maintained properly. The staff from check-in to the nurses to the checkout are kind and professional.

He is the best vision doctor I have been to
Dr. Panttaja definitely cares about his patients. He is a professional at the highest level possible. He is extremely knowledgeable and keeps updated on the recent advances in eye care. He is very patient and answers every one of your questions. He goes out of his way to make you feel confident that your eyes have received a thorough exam. He is willing to recheck your eyes if you have even the slightest question. He is very personable! Even though I moved out of the area, I drive three hours (one way) to return for my vision checks with Dr. Panttaja. The entire staff was outstanding and very professional. Everyone makes you feel respected and valued. The entire staff treats you like family!
