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.

Eye Care by a Doctor who cares!
Dr Kielty has been my ophthalmologist for many years. He never rushes his appointments and makes you feel totally cared for. He asks questions, listens closely to your concerns, and his exams are thorough and complete. He has a great personality to boot and I feel like I am seeing a friend as well as a professional eye doctor.

Permanent Vision Loss Due to Neglect&Negligence
On numerous occasions when visiting this office we saw and overheard how rude and nasty the front desk employees would treat people who'd be calling in, actually intentionally trying to aggravate them with a bad attitude, hanging up on them and laughing, bad mouthing other patients so anyone standing at front desk or in waiting room could hear what they're saying, not only outrageously disrespectful & unprofessional but frightening as these are SUPPOSED to be medical providers who we're depending on for our ability to have eyesight & help save patient's vision and the behavior repeatedly observed is totally unacceptable. Dr. Kielty himself, more often than not, has presented in the exam room with a very odd demeanor, each time making very strange remarks that make absolutely no sense with no pertinence&relevance to anything ever stated. I called office due to emergency with my vision when time is of essence to prevent permanent damage/blindness,told me their booked&to wait 3 months!
