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.

Office mixed up my appointment time. I had a 1045 appointment waited till 1110 then went back to the desk to find out if they forgot to check me in and was told my appointment was not until 11. When I told her she was incorrect she was verging on being rude stating I was incorrect until I showed her several text messages from their office confirming my 1045 appointment. Finally called in for pictures at 1120 when I commented you must be running late today, was told no we’re right on time. Seriously!!!!

Substandard Care, in a Patient Mill Atmosphere! Dr. Sorenson made me wait at least 2 HOURS(!) before even coming in to see me, preferring to delegate nearly everything out to worthless, hateful technicians who despise the patient, and, in my case, caused severe pain to my septum/bones in my nose when I was literally pushed against the camera lens clip for the bright light pictures of my eye! Sorenson didn't want to hear about my symptoms, which obstruct the ability to see out of one eye. He rushed through the dilation process with so many drops that I had a bad reaction, causing both eyes to fog and stay dilated for hours, while the right eye obstruction is now much worse. Sorenson's staff is unsupervised and manhandles patients, as I experienced first-hand. Med reports are fudged to make it seem as though no problem exists to avoid professional treatment, allowing the bilking of insurance for a meaningless "consultation." This doctor and office are beyond bad!

Excellent service. Staff very helpful to get me an appointment. Dr. Sorenson did a thorough exam of my eyes and was able to make me feel confident that my issues were going to resolve.
