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. Ramey and his staff members provided me with the most excellent care after I went through a horrible experience (to say the least) with a different provider. He and his staff members demonstrated the most sincere compassion and concern that I have ever experienced with medical professionals. Dr. Ramey actually cares about my situation and I completely trust him because of that.

Good experience with lid surgery but impossible to get an acceptable appointment. I'm currently looking for another doctor. They do NOT send appointment reminders since they are overbooked.

Dr Ramey is the best of the best!
I have had both of my eyelids cut/reduced and he removed 8mm of skin. I can see 10 times more clear. I went to Dr Ramey from a referral from my normal Optometrist. He did a wonderful job on my eye lid reduction surgery and he is also treating my “Long Covid” migraine headaches with injections every 90 days. He is polite, fast, explains well, and overall a great doctor who knows what he is doing for sure. The offices are clean, bathrooms are spotless, and the waiting area in modern and large to be able to distance from others. Not the cheapest place to go; however, when working on my eyes, price was not my concern.

Dr. Ramey was hard to get an appt. with but he explained that cancer and other serious issues get his attention first. I ripped open the stitches on my eye on a Friday night and he didn't hesitate to make a special trip on his day off to re-sew my eye. The ladies in the office were great. He is wonderful, he listens, he is patient and very informative. I would recommend him!

Dr Ramey performed two eye surgeries on me. He did a great job and is the most caring Doctor that I have known. He takes time with his patients and he went above and beyond to assist me. I would reccmmend him to all my family and friends.
