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.

Dr Richter is an excellent ophthalmologist. He is thorough, patient and extremely knowledgeable. I have recommended him to several people including my wife. Obviously he has my highest respect and recommendation.

The doctor was very kind and acted unhurried though there were many patients. He respected my request not to be refracted because of a medical conditions and through his instruments was able to analyze my issues and explain clearly. He is a treasure!

I’ve been seeing Dr Richter for many years and I’ve since moved from the area where he’s located but continue to drive in to his location because of his professionalism and care. Thank you Dr Richter

I have been a patient of Craig’s for over 20 years. I feel that he is as much a friend as my eye doc. I’m not particularly fond of the siteMD “corporate “ environment.

I felt he treated me with respect despite my age. I am a retired lawyer and currently a NY State EMT. Initially when I went to this office in 2018/2019 I had felt as if I had been talked down to. I no longer believe that is the case. Despite those initial observations, i never was in doubt regarding Dr. Richter's professional skills and excellence in executing them in surgical procedures and office exams.

Trust in diagnosis, trust in decision making and trust in performing medical procedures. I haven't always had that in some of my doctors and the results weren't always positive. I don't usually respond to sharing these reviews but I'm very pleased with Dr. Craig Richter .
