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 was happy the office was organized and all staff I came in contact with were friendly and helpful

Great Doctor
Dr. Passarelli was recommended by a friend and I couldn't more pleased. Great Doctor and great staff. What more can I say. He did my cataract surgery 2 yrs ago which went perfectly. He explained everything about the procedure and put all my concerns at ease.

Wonderful Experience!
I don’t know where to begin! For several years I put off cataract surgery due to fear. From the moment I found Dr Passarelli I felt confident and at ease. The laser surgery was easy and completely painless. Everything about the procedure and after care was fully explained by Dr P and his wonderful staff. My only regret is waiting so long to finally have perfect vision ! I would do it again tomorrow-it was that easy! But I don’t need to! Thank you Dr Passarelli and SightMD!
