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.

Amazing doctor! Skilled and compassionate.
Dr. Pugh is an extremely skilled professional who is knowledgeable and thorough in his treatment, and kind and compassionate in his approach. He explains thoroughly, questions and listens intently, and truly seems concerned about his patients on a personal level. Best doctor that I have ever been to!

Excellent cataract surgeon!
Dr. Kristopher Pugh is an excellent doctor, and his staff is wonderful and very attentive. I was diagnosed with cataracts in the summer of 2023 at the early age of 55. Dr. Pugh made me feel comfortable about the decision to go ahead and have surgery, explaining all my options, and the process. Surgery was completed on my right eye Nov 29th and the left eye a week later Dec 6th. The surgery was a breeze and recovery was easy. I am thrilled with the results of my eyesight. For the first time since grade two I can see extremely well, both near and far sight, unaided without eyeglasses or contact lenses. If you are considering cataract surgery definitely contact Dr. Pugh, you will be very happy you did.

I have used Dr. Pugh for cataract surgery and PKR surgery. He listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions so I understood what to expect. He put me at ease and never rushed me. He is an excellent doctor and I highly recommend him.

Dr Pugh is an excellent surgeon. I couldn't have found a better physician to help me with my special cataract surgery. He is very attentive and really listens to everything you say. I expect I will continue to see him as my keratoconus changes and he researches advanced lenses for me .

Dr Pugh was very knowledgable about the new lenses he recommended for me. I would recommend him to everyone!! He checked on me by phone the day after surgery and made a point to come over to my follow up exam scheduled with another Dr. He was as excited about my progress as I was and my progress has been great!! I wouldn't go anywhere else for eye care of any kind. They are great and the staff is very caring

Dr. Pugh is a very knowledgeable and personable eye surgeon. His staff is also always friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Their waiting rooms, restrooms, and offices have been immaculate on each of my visits. They really do treat their patients as one of their family. I wish I had been going there many years before this.
