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.

Long Time Patient
I have been a patient of Dr. Greco for over 30 years. I have always felt confident in his expertise as an ophthalmologist whether it be for routine eye care, prescribing glasses, or noticing any changes in the eye. He is the one who refereed me to a retina specialist when he saw the beginning signs of macular degeneration. Most recently, Dr. Greco performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes. This surgery not only removed the clouded lens but replaced it with a corrective lens which has improved my vision. Dr. Greco is qualified, professional, and caring. I trust Dr. Greco and highly recommend him.

NO LONGER NEED TO STAY HOME EVERY NIGHT!
I am 84 years old and have been using two pairs of glasses for many years, for both distance and reading, prescribed by Dr. Greco,. He had been recommending cataract surgery at every visit but I kept putting it off until the point when I could no longer drive safely at night. Realizing this threat to my life-style, I opted for the lazer assisted surgery with corrective lenses which was performed on both eyes over a period of two months. The whole procedure was easy, painless and over in less than half an hour. The result was amazing, like a dark and clouded curtain had been removed, the brightness and clarity were overwhelming. The Doctor tells me my vision is now 20/20 and I no longer need glasses. Dr. Greco is very professional, prompt and efficient, and explained all my options and answered all my questions. His staff is also very efficient and thoughtful. I can highly recommend Dr. Greco to any one in need of an exceptional ophthalmologist.

Dismissive attitude
Began with Dr. Greco some 20 years ago: my father's glaucoma became a problem & suggested I get checked regularly. Mine was diagnosed in 2015: it was mild but as it progressed, Greco didn't tell me. He Rx'd eye drops & as my vision worsened, he refused to discuss a stent (which another doctor had suggested I consult Greco about). When I reported double vision, his reply (for 3 years) was "you're tired". I expressed my concern it might be neurological, he finally sent me for tests. I had to find the doctor to correct the diplopia. I reported a "shadow" in my field of vision following cataract surgery, he insisted it was a floater. Upon consult with another doctor, it turned out to be glaucoma vision loss. Within months of my cataract surgeries, cataracts have grown back in both eyes. New floaters after surgery were always there, he said. I requested a 12-month payment plan for my cataract surgeries & without my knowledge they submitted a 6-month plan which caused financial strain.

Truly Professional Care
Dr. Greco has taken care of my vision for over 15 years; a few months ago, he determined I needed cataract surgery. He explained everything I was facing, and I felt confident to go through with the surgery. After getting new lenses, I now enjoy 20/20 vision in both eyes. I recommend Dr. Greco to anyone who wants to protect their vision. He takes great care of his patients.

I've been a patient over 20 years and have had my 2nd cataract surgery last month. The previous one was 4 years ago. Everything went like clock work from the staff scheduling the hospital to after care. I had no problems after the procedure. I chose lens so I wouldn't need glasses for driving which was very important for me as a person over 70 years. The staff is so courteous and efficient besides being patient in explaining the details. I do have anxiety when it comes to any medical issue but I was at ease with Dr. Greco skill.

I had both my eyes operated on for cataracts after the doctor was recommended by my nephew who is also a doctor. The process was painless and office visits came off without a hitch even during this pandemic! Still being amazed with not wearing glasses after at least 60 years! My sister had the same operation by the doctor earlier this year and I was her driver to these appointments and was impressed that her results also came off so well. Yes I would recommend Dr. Greco.

I'm a 60 year old male who has had eye issues since the age of 33 years old . It started with a cataract which was corrected , about 5 years ago I was diagnosed with Advanced Macular Degeneration which frightened me . This past summer I noticed that things were blurry and it concerned me due to the AMD. I made an appointment with my Ophthalmologist who discovered that I had severe Glaucoma. My Ophthalmologist treated me with drops and pills and had a very hard time getting the pressure under control, he referred me to Dr John Greco. Upon meeting Dr Greco I knew immediately that he was the guy I needed. Dr Greco performed a procedure on me and I'm doing so much better , my pressure has dropped to normal levels. Dr Greco is a straight shooter, he told me exactly what to expect and didn't sugar coat anything. I've done everything he suggested with post-op activities and I'm really doing great. I hope that one day I will find a way to repay him for saving my eyesight. Thanks Dr Greco!

Dr. John Greco did both of my cataract surgeries. One in Dec. 2019 and the other in September 2020. I opted for the premium lenses. These operations were performed flawlessly and without any pain or issues at all. My recovery was fast also with both operations. At 65 years old, I again have the perfect vision that I had when I was a youngster. He is a consummate professional in his field of medicine that I trust completely with the the utmost confidence.

I have vision insurance (VSP) which has a $0 copay. I checked when I made my appointment that Dr Greco participated and I would have a $0 copay. I then arrived and was told I had a $0 copay. Then after my exam I was told they were not going to use my vision insurance but instead my medical insurance (BCBS) and I now have a $40 copay!!! Total scam!! I paid the $40 in cash and had to fight with them to get a receipt and am now working it out with my insurance company. They are so shady, unfriendly, and unethical. Don't ever go to this office!
