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.

Patient and thorough
Dr Dunn was the most helpful doctor I have met with since I began having symptoms. He took the time to help me put my experience in perspective with analogies and anecdotes from his clinical experience and the appropriate bodies of research. He answered my questions and offered treatment options as recommendations, not directives. Dr Dunn was excellent and I would recommend anyone trust their eyes to him!

Decent doctor. Poor admission
Visit is usually 3 hours plus. 2 1/2 hours is waiting. Leaving messages that are rarely returned is annoying and rude. Techs are poor listeners and rush you off the phone.

Dr. Dunn is an excellent ophthalmologist who is not only very detailed and thorough but caring and responsive. He is THE expert in his field and I wouldn’t trust my husband’s eyes to anyone else.

Dr Dunn is a terrific doctor and takes a lot of time each appointment to answer all of my questions and explain everything to me. I’ve been to many different ophthalmologists over the years to treat my inflammatory eye disease and he is by far the most thorough. He also always quickly replies to my questions sent to him via the portal.
