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.

My daughter has IH and it was difficult finding someone who was familiar with the disease. She had lost her eye sight completely and doctor Nichols was able to treat her and restored her sight. She lost it a second time and once again he helped her restore her eyes. There was little damage done to her sight and her sight is still 20 / 20. He also monitored the IH disease and has been working with the other spealist along with us throughout what has now been an 8year journey. Thanks you Doctor
