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.

Doesn’t care about patients.
This guy spent no time understanding my condition and destroyed my vision. Never would recommend him.

Excellent eye doctor and staff.
I had cataract surgery and I am so happy with the results. I could hardly see how to drive before.

Never met Dr Stanko. It took me 4 weeks after calling to get in to see him and after waiting for an hour in very crowded waiting room I was told he still had 3 patients in front of me and I left. It would have been nice to receive a call or text or have been told when I arrived that he was running an 1 1/2 hrs late. No respect for the patient's time. It's a factory!! I will never go back.

Impossible to reach by phone. You will just get recordings and no one will respond... Even the operator has a recording. You will have a difficult time getting a appointment. I know this because he's been my doctor for ten years. I cant even get through....

He is the best Ophthalmologist I have ever known. Unfortunately, I missed my appointment time and am patiently waiting for a new appointment as he is the only eye doctor I trust. Chris Rose

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Stanko for several years. He is a great doctor. We both had cataracts removed and we were truly surprised at how easy on us it was, and the great care we received. Dr. Stanko is caring (he actually listens), professional and very competent. We are so glad we found him.

Michael Stanko wrote a prescription for eye glasses that cost $400.00. I could have gotten the same eye glasses at the Dollar Store. Stanko is bad medicine!

He is the best optholomist we have seen. My husband has seen 11. Wait time is minimal. Staff is friendly and efficient.
