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.

Retinal tear
Woke up one day after vacation and vision was blurry in rt eye. Called the office and they saw me the same day and had eye surgery the next day. Partial retinal tear and he got ins and primary dr involved that day and corrected the following day. Unfortunately left eye has the same issue and I know it will be handled expeditiously
