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.

She left her practice and her patients high and dr
I saw all Dr. Albrecht in November 2022. I went to see her for droopy eyelids. She specializes in this. She did all the testing and assured me I should be able to get in for surgery before the end of the year. I received a letter in December of 2022 stating that she is no longer with eye surgeons associates in Rock Island Illinois. She was only there for a couple of months and without notice left. She left her work I and dry and she left her patients high and dry. Now because of this I have to start my full year of deductible and out of pocket again in order to have the surgery done. I highly suggest if you value your vision to stay clear of someone that don't stand behind her patients. Total disappointment. If I could give a negative star I would.
