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.

Dr Gale
My retina became detached on a Friday ten years ago. I started to loose my vision over the weekend. I was so nervous that I called Dr Gale's office and he offered to examine me on a Sunday. He reassured me and told me he could make the repair the following day. I'm very happy to say I have not had a problem since. I ve had opthamologists examine my eye since and they are amazed at his work. I would not go to anyone else Thank you again Dr Gale.

I would never ever return to see him, I have never ever in my life been treated that poorly by any physician I’ve seen! I had a serious problem and was desperate to hopefully find a cause or some advice but instead I was basically told my acute loss of vision was psychological!! I left the office sobbing not only was I insulted beyond comprehension but still have no answers and can’t see!!! I am so upset about this entire experience and wouldn’t recommend him to anyone!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Gale for almost 10 years. Within those years, I have had multiple visits, tests, lasers, procedures ( in office and out). I have always been shown compassion and felt comforted during these times by staff and Dr. Gale!! He is very knowledgeable and witty!! My husband and I usually leave the office laughing at something he said. The wait time can be a bit long, depending on why you're there but that is common at any ophthalmologist office. I would 100% recommend!!
