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.

When my retina suddenly detached last October, my ophthalmologist sent me immediately to Dr Klancnik. He saw me with no appointment, as an emergency. Recognizing the urgency, Dr Klancnik arranged surgery within days and successfully repaired the damage. His bedside manner, caring and professionalism were outstanding. He answered every question I had, calmed me down and reassured me often. I hope you never have to experience what I endured, but feel confident you will receive the best care with Dr Klancnik
