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.

I have never have had to write a review about how bad a place is but this MD has been one of the worst experiences for me as far as healthcare. I dont understand how a doctor could be so inconsiderate, rude and unknowlegable including the poor attitudes of some of the people that work there. My whole experience with them has been horrible. I would NEVER GO BACK here.

Dr. Staman performed procedures on me under the threat I would go blind if I didn't let him. my condition is being corrected by changing my blood thinner medication. Dr Staman burned up my retina with a laser and destroyed my retina with his injections. when I put him on the spot he told me he was a miracle worker and I was cured. I am not cured I have scar tissue that will leave me visually impaired fro the rest of my life. None of the treatment Dr Staman performed on me should have been done!

HORRIBLE! STAY AWAY! Giving 1 star is very generous. If there was an option to give neg stars, I would. Being a licensed health care professional, I can honestly say that this Staman should have never been given a license to practice! He NEVER gives informed consent as he specifically states: “I am the doctor, why would I ever give the patient a choice?” He waited 7 days to perform surgery for a detached retina (should always be done within 24 hrs) & caused blindness! NO person skills at all!

The staff is amazing friendly kind and Interactive and seems to handle the overload of patients with professionalism and care. However Dr James Staman was short and rather apathetic and actually made it quite apparent that he was tired and ready to go. It appears he had a long day and was the only doctor but each patient should be treated with care diligence and made to feel important especially regarding the health of their eyes I was quite appalled and disgusted at his arrogance and lack o

only gave 1 star because there is no option for "0". Do NOT seek treatment here! Husband was treated by James Staman who is the WORSE dr. around! NO bedside manor at all. He does not care at all about his patients. He is not patient friendly, does not give ANY informed consent, does not ask for patient consent. He does not acknowledge any family member with the pt and gets angry when he is questioned. We were told verbatim: "Why would I give the patient a choice? I am the doctor & the one that i

He is an amazing surgeon , the best Retina surgeon around. He however needs to do a little work on his bedside manner, but his staff is truly Amazing. If it wasn't for his staff and his perfection for surgery I'm not sure I'd go back. But employees like Ashley and Gilbert make it worth my while every time

couldn't ask for better professional help BUT the wait was entirely too long, waited 1 1/2 hours before being seen. was advised to wear a jacket as office was chilly. The office was COLD, there were not enough chairs to seat all patients either. Almost left office without being seen I was so frustrated. Glad I waited as Dr. Staman and assistants were great!

I like Dr. Shaman but sometimes gen doesn't explain what his thought process isn't to the patients so that the patient has a CLEAR understanding of the possible procedures they'll be going through. Sometimes I feel like you can ask him any question so because he gets flustered and becomes slightly rude. Staff is always amazing though. That's why I keep coming back. Aurelia is so great inside the exam rooms.

Staff is excellent very helpful and caring. Dr. Stamin is great. Though the wait is absolutely ridiculous. Extremely overbooked for the time each Dr. takes with patients Either more doctors, bigger building with better parking or book appts according to actual treatment time required. The only game in the area should know not to add stress to their already stressed out patients.
