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.

Poor outcome
A year after cataract surgery and getting light adjusted lens I still see blurry and can’t drive at night.

Cataract surgery
The entire staff was extremely polite and respectful! The surgeon was outstanding and the operation was fast and painless! Any concerns were immediately answered and everything was clearly explained! I had an issue the following morning ( something I did wrong) and the answering service had a Dr call me back at 6am and I was explained the issue and completely put me at ease! The entire experience could not have been more perfect! Best experience anyone could ask for.
