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.

He did both my husband's cataracts and my eyes
Dr Brotherson is in our book the best eye surgeon ever----never hurt us and he was right on the money when it came to the special lenses that were put in. Thank God for all he does , hopefully he never retires!!!!!!

Great Eye surgeon
I had both cataracts removed from my eyes this winter and I could not be happier. I'm seeing 20 20 one week after surgery. Dr Brotherson explained every thing going into and after surgery. He has a great people personality and the entire process was very enjoyable.

The first room that I was brought into for eye measurements or something was dirty. The machine that I needed to rest my chin on was dirty and the chin rest was greasy and had debris on it. The room I saw the doctor in was also in need of cleaning. The machine was dusty and there was a lot of accumulated dust along the floorboards and the electronics cables on the floor. This was all surprising to me, especially in view of the pandemic.

My husband Bill had new lenses done by Dr. Brotherson in 2013 and couldn't be more pleased with the results! Dr. Brotherson is an excellent doctor with a great "bed side" manner. He is serious when it comes to his job but also has a good sense of humor. Both my husband and I recommend him highly!!
