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 experience at Horizon Eye!
I saw Heather Bell today for a first time visit. Her team was friendly and efficient explaining everything they did before they did it. Dr. Bell was friendly. During and after her evaluation, she explained more to me in a few minutes than had been shared at other eye practices ever. She is thorough, knowledgeable, caring and efficient. I will return to her for future care!

Great Doctor, Thorough Yearly Exam
Dr. Bell is very personable and friendly. Her exams move along quickly, and they seem very thorough. I’ve been seeing Dr. Bell for 4-5 years., and I have been relatively problem-free. I’ve hit the age where I’m developing cataracts, and it’s comforting to have a doctor who has my history. I know Dr. Bell will advise me and prepare me for cataract surgery when it’s time.

Came in for an eye exam and asked about a spot on the eye lid. She said it was nothing. Went back for a second time because I was still concerned. She again said it was nothing but a cyst. 5 months later now I have been diagnosed with cancer in that spot by two other doctors. Clueless and dangerous.
