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, caring doctor, friendly professional staff. They make sure to see you promptly if you have an emergency.

When my husband called to make an appointment because he felt his vision was getting worse "Dr." Verra told him to "get his diabetes in check and to then call back for an appointment. He never even asked what his A1C level was. His diabetes has always been under control. He decided to see another ophthalmologist and found out his problem is due to cataracts that are to the point that he needs surgery. Verra told him 6 months ago that he had the beginnings of cataracts. No trust in him now!

I just had my cataracts removed and can't say enough about Dr. Verra. I have worn glasses for reading for 25 years and glasses for distance for 15 years. My surgery went so well with very little pain or issues. I now have 20/25 vision and just need 2.5 readers. That is absolutely amazing! He is the best! It is a eel run office and all of the staff are true professionals. I would highly recommend Dr. Verra and his staff.
