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.

I had Visian ICL surgery last week with Dr. Herschel and can now see 20/15! For someone who has worn glasses or contacts for 25 years, this has been a life changing experience. After a huge letdown by Hunter Vision, who took my money and then said the technology didn't exist yet to give me 20/20 vision, I spoke with Lindsey at Herschel LASIK, desperate for an answer. She got me in for an appointment the next day! Dr. Herschel did an extremely thorough eye exam and diagnosed me with keratoconus, and then came up with a plan to get me out of my glasses. I started a dry eye regiment to help get me prepared for surgery and to ensure I would have the best results after. From there, Norma hooked me up by scheduling all of my appointments within 3 weeks. This staff goes above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of! So in 2 months I went from being devastated that I would be in glasses forever, to seeing better than most people around me! And the real icing on the cake, is that Herschel

Absolutely the rudest, most unfriendly “doctor” I have ever encountered!!!! Does not explain procedures etc, when you ask or don’t understand he get an attitude. He even insinuated to me I complained about my issues!!! He is a burnt out doctor.

Love, love, love Dr. Herschel! He is not the chatty, warm and fuzzy kind of doctor but he is the kind that does not give up and works to solve the problem. I mean seriously works at it. My mother-in-law's arthritis attacked her cornea and it has not been an easy fix, but he really cares about patient outcome. Appreciate his dedication!

I was wanting to get LASIK surgery. I had visited many doctors. I chose Dr. Herschel because of how thorough he was. I'm so happy with my great vision and can't even begin to tell you how amazing his staff is. Thanks you Dr Herschel and staff for making me feel like family.
