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 would highly recommend Dr. Bigles.
He is a wonderful Dr. His personality is beyond enjoyable. He is very attentive when you are having a specific problem. I had him do my cataract surgery, and he really cares about how you are recovering and if you have any problems, he calls you right back.

Great Dr. – Dec 27, 2022

My husband and I recently had appointments with Dr Bigles to discuss having our cataracts removed, both my husband and myself were both very impressed with the entire office staff everyone was very friendly and professional. After meeting Dr Bigles and upon his examination of both of us he gave us his action plan, Dr Bigles was great at explaining everything to us And wasn't pushy at all just very thorough ?? He also asked if we had questions ,which we did he took time with us til all our questions were answered. My husband and I are both looking forward to having our vision fixed and we both know we are in excellent hands. Thank you Dr Bigles you truly have set our minds at ease.

I would not recommend this ophthalmologist to anyone. I had cataract surgery and had a staph infection in the right eye within a week and blood vessels to burst in the left eye within another week. I was blind in my right eye for three days. If you value your sight, research very thoroughly who will be performing your surgery! I had to see a retina specialist for three months before being dismissed.

Dr. Bigles-Geigel said my elderly diabetic dad could have dramatically improved vision with cataract removal, and his office moved to schedule cataract surgery on both eyes immediately. When I requested a formal report on his findings about my dad's eyes, I got nothing. I got a second opinion from another Covington eye doctor, who informed me that my dad was totally blind in one eye and cataract surgery would be futile because of retinal damage. I'm glad I got a second opinion.
