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.

Do I have glaucoma or not ok , on my third opinion
The doctor diagnosed me with having glaucoma in only one eye my right, stated that my pressures were going up and she needed to do laser surgery, she did my right eye which is my bad eye and then she wanted to do my left eye, two days after surgery I could not see out of my rt eye which I was never diagnosed. Put me on too much glaucoma medicine causing severe dry eyes and a massive production of mucus which she never trouble shot it with me she didn't care all she wanted to do was surgery on my left eye, and she never had diagnosed my left eye is having glaucoma.

No Respect for Patients Time
Every time I have an appointment I end up waiting 35-45 min past my appointment time before I am seen. Seems most of the patients are retired or don’t work. I pay a lot of money for my insurance and I expect to be treated with respect and like a valued customer.

No I will not although she is very good at what she does I would not want anyone of my family to Be put off or rescheduled every time especially when you have to depend on other people to take you to your appointments. I only have one son as I lost my oldest son last year November 13,2020 and my son who is here in Lafayette however he works out of town more than in town. I cannot drive until I can get my eyes fixed as well as other health issues. My oldest son took me to all my appt until he passed away last year so now once I get my eyes fixed I will be pursuing to get my license whivh will give me my independence back but in meantime I am dependent on transit service
