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.

Dis-Engenuine
Pre-Surgery . Should have answered my direct questions. I asked him Directly how many surgeries have you personally performed that failed. That had complications. He would not answer. Each Time.,.. What is your personal track record and he still would avoid direct answer. Dr. Betts would digress to the overall record of how patients respond and personally improve based on overall record of success and failure ( not his personal track record). I found him Dis-Engenuine. For this reason I lack confidence in him as a doctor.

Annual check up: Listened attentively when I explained about an issue, checked my eyes specifically for the potential cause, and recommended a solution. He performed my cataract surgery more than 10 years ago, and I continue to see exceptionally well since that time. I have been going to Dr Betts for the past 14 years and would not consider changing. He is professional and is concerned about your vision.

I have had comprehensive annual checkups with Dr Betts for 10+ years now. He is always cheerful and extremely thorough and reviews results with me, his staff is friendly and very efficient and professional. In April 2021 I experienced flashes in my peripheral vision and was worried about retinal detachment. I was quickly examined and told I had a very large 'floater' that was pulling at my retina but no detachment. I was reassured and by the time I returned for a checkup 3 weeks later my eye had stabilized. No further issues to date. The optical department is also top notch (Nancy in particular is great!) and has taken care of proper fitting and adjustments for me many times. Prices are very reasonable given the quality of service and frames/lenses. Basically, I can always count on getting all my eye and eyewear needs fully met at McDonald Eye Associates. My wife is also a patient here and feels Dr. Betts is excellent and the group provides top quality services.
