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 want to thank Dr Brown for giving me back good eye sight. It was quick and almost painless like he explained to me. I would recommend Dr Brown to anyone that has cataracts like I did. He makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed. Thank you again.

Dr. Brown removed one of my cataracts and I'm waiting one more week for the other. He and his staff are totally dedicated to their patients. Dr. Brown's voice is so calming! If you walk in to the office upset or nervous about something dealing with your eyes, you will leave the office feeling much better. Another added advantage is that you don't have to go in to Oakland or Downtown with the dreaded traffic and parking conditions Top notch, first-class ophthalmologist......Highly recommended.

Dr. Joel and the entire staff are so professional as well as very thorough, they took the time to ask of family history, and Dr. Joel was very down to earth and made sure to examine my eye with such professionalism that made me feel very reassured that my eye would be ok after my corneal abrasion. I would highly recommend this practice without hesitation. Thank you Dr Joel and your entire staff. Respectfully. Karen O'D

I was SO IMPRESSED! First the staff (especially Phyllis) and then Dr. Brown. They really put me at ease as I was worried about an issue I was having with my eye. You could really tell there were good vibes there. I'm so happy I found a good place to go and rely on!
