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.

This Doctor without a doubt is the number one surgeon for cataract surgery in Eastern Iowa! Staff is excellent, the doctor has excellent manners with the patient and this is all I can tell you from my experience. Mine were in the fall of 2020. After I went, then my wife's best friend had hers done by Dr. Privett and was quite a happy camper. Now my wife is having hers done and is happy with the first one!! These were recently in 2021.

I had cataract surgery on both eyes with Dr. Privett at Iowa Eye in October and November 2020. I was extremely impressed with Dr. Privett and the entire staff I worked with at Iowa Eye through the process. For my replacement lenses I was a candidate for the Alcon PanOptix tri-focal implant and chose that option. My vision improved dramatically in both eyes. Right eye went from 20/60 before the surgery in October to 20/20 the day after surgery and I believe I am now close to 20/15 a week later. The left eye went from 20/40 before the surgery to 20/20 the next day (which is today) as I write this review. I'm hoping my left eye will also get to 20/15 after a few more days. Extremely happy and would highly recommend Dr. Privett, Iowa Eye and the PanOptix artificial lenses.
