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 surgeon and experience.
Had both cataracts done by Dr. Prickett.Prior to the operation he patiently reviewed multiple options with me and discussed my specific scenario dealing with previous optical issues. Surgeries performed very cleanly and professionally. Follow up instructions were clear.

Kind, skilled professional
I was recommended to Dr. Prickett Who had seen him for retina problems. She really liked him. So I decided to use him to have my cataract surgery done. He also repaired a ret tear that I had and sent me to a specialist for a second retina tear. I am so far thrilled with my cataract surgeries. I use the LAL option. Expensive but worth it.
