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.

Both my parents had cataract surgery under Dr Bearman and his staff 7 years apart. Dr. Bearman's neglect was immeasureable. For both my parents, 7 years apart, his staff ordered the wrong lens. Dr. Bearman never checked the lens prior to surgery. Took cataracts off and THEN realized he had the wrong lens. He never asked either one of my parents what to do or explained what he was doing prior to implanting the WRONG lens. Now they are left with half fixes and less than good vision because of the wrong lens. I say this because this was not once off - this was two separate adults at two separate visits. I would never trust my eyesight to someone so careless with surgical procedures as to not even check if you have the right equipment before proceeding then have to make due and semi correct vision. NEVER go see this doctor.
