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.

Dr. Szal is knowledgeable, patient, and caring
I have seen him as my eye doctor for years. A number of times he has had to treat me for a condition called iritis and the protocol requires a long step-downs procedure. I didn't remember it one time and remarked at my next appointment that they don't give you a checkout sheet anymore with the findings & treatment protocols. I didn't remember by the time I got home. He took the time at that next appointment to hand write the protocol for me so I wouldn't forget. And he has done it for me ever since. Thank you, Dr. Szal.

I saw Dr Szal due to concern for my eye as a result of the shingles virus. He was very thorough and explained a lot about the virus and how it was affecting my facial area. He answered all of my questions and really relieved my worry.

Dr Szar has always answered all of my concerns. I sincerely appreciated the phone call the evening of my eye surgery. Follow up appointments are always scheduled in advance and can be changer by the patient. Busy office but very timely.

Extremely pleased with this ophthalmologist. Friendly, professional and competent staff member performs initial exam to be ready for appointment with Dr. Szal. I like the efficiency! Dr. Szal is equally as efficient with his portion of the exam yet he has always taken the time to share and explain all findings as well as make helpful suggestions for greater eye comfort. He's a keeper!

I actually never got to see this Doctor, as I overheard him berate another patient in the next room, and after 35 minutes of waiting with nothing, I simply walked out. Concord Eye Care (and Dr. Szal), is indifferent of their poor patient care.

The man never introduced himself, was quick in and out with a refusal to answer questions. The girl with the clipboard left in his wake was of more use. It was a bit much even for a assembly line clinic, I am not sure about his credentials but he fails as a a human being.
