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.

Please stay away from this doctor! He permanently damaged my family member's eye, detached their retina and now they are partially blind. We later found several other people who stated they had permament damaging results and even blindness. He should NOT be in practice! Do not trust this doctor with your vision!

He is a great doctor. It is easy to tell he really cares for the people he is treating. We are lucky to have him and those working with him. Just bring up his name in a group of people and you will likely hear of the same results.

I love my eye doctor because he takes great care of my vision, has a wonderful and friendly staff and because he does not treat me like a patient but treats me like a family member!

Dr Broussard has been my family's eye doctor for almost 30 years. He is honest. He has done lasix successfully on a number of our friends and relatives. I took my Mother for her cateract surgery to him with great results. I highly recommed him.
