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.

Fastest Exam Ever
That had to be the fastest exam ever! I felt like I was herded through like cattle at an auction. No one ever asked me any questions. When Dr. Blandford started the Slit-lamp examination, he said "Ah that looks good" before he even got it to my eye! He quickly whisked it across my eye and on to the other eye with no adjustments. Must be everyone's eyes are the same. In what seamed like less than 3 minutes, he handed me a slip of paper with "my prescription". I asked if this was for my computer glasses, reading glasses or driving glasses. What patients have different needs?!? I'll never go back to this place. My eyes are constantly trying to adjust while driving. Suffering through until my insurance will pay for another eye exam.

Dr Blandford is excellent surgeon. He did my mom’s cataract surgery on both eyes. She is doing great. She loves him. Not only has he done surgery on my mom’s eyes but he has done surgery on several of my family (aunts etc) and none of them had any complaints. They had their surgery at KY River Medical Center and they bragged on how well the OR staff treated them!!!!

Twice now I've been made to wait in excess of TWO HOURS for an appointment I set up weeks in advance. TWO HOURS! There is no excuse for this. NONE. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment elsewhere. Unless, of course, you're unemployed and not losing two hours pay! And you threaten to charge US for missing an appointment?! I should send you a bill with MY hourly rate!
