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.

Satisfied Patient
I was very impressed with Dr. Peneiras. He took my issue seriously. The last eye doctor I went to just brushed me off exclaiming I just must be sensitive. Dr. Peneiras took his time with me. His eye exam was very thorough and he took immediate steps to correct my issue. I found him very caring and would recommend him.

Excellent
I called the office since I was seeing spots (floaters) The staff made an appointment the same day. Dr Peneiras did a comprehensive exam no other eye doctor has examined my eyes so thoroughly. At the end he reassured me that it was age related and recommended I be re-examined in a few weeks. My floaters are gone so he was correct.

HIGH PRICES/ TAKE TOO LONG TO SHEDULE AN APPT.
His Prices are going way too high. My family of 6 are done with him after 30 years of going to his office since he was in West Long Branch. Also, his office takes too long to schedule an appt. Now he takes off first Friday & Saturday of the month. This is even worse to get appt.

There was a bit of delay in taking me in BUT the Doctor spent a lot of time on me and did everything to find the most accurate prescription for my eyes. This of course was the most important thing for me. He is pleasant and clearly he cares. Staff was also so smart and helpful. I really liked the office as well - very well lit and open, not that I really care about that.

Very thorough, staff is great . When Dr Paneiras started practicing out of the Long Branch office, I followed him to Long Branch. My husband still uses his Manalapan office and is also very happy with his care.

He was rude to my child. We waited over 2hrs to be seen just for him to get upset my child wasn’t “focusing” on what he wanted him to. We had just come from school and no 5yr old wants to wait two hours to get their eyes checked. What I recommended get some real insurance people and go to a real doctor.
