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.

Knowledgeable & Trustworthy
Dr. Locascio has been my eye care physician for nearly 3 decades. He is the most caring specialist I have ever had. His number one priority is his patients' vision. His staff who have been with him for years are wonderful.

I have been dealing with Dr. LoCasio for approximately fifteen years and have found him to be an excellent physician, who is very knowledgeable in his field. He is freindly and will take time to answer questions and discuss issues. He has done cataract surgey on both eyes and has restored my vision to 20/25 in both eyes. I have recommended him to a number of colleagues, all of whom have been pleased with him.
