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.

Great Eye Surgeon
I first went to Dr. Mitrev in 20007. I had vison problems. He performed eye surgery on both my eyes and put in lens. He was very patient and explained procedures as he performed them. Seventeen years later and my sight is still doing well. I now live in Columbus, Ohio and have told many people here that that trip to Chesapeake, Virginia, to see Dr. Mitrev if they had eye issues would well be worth the trip.

My Review of Dr. Mitrev on 3-10-2023
First let me clarify the purpose of my visit with Dr. Mitrev was due to the fact I was Very Dissatisfied with another doctor, Dr. Rappaport of Tidewater Eye Centers. Dr. Mitrev was very welcoming, knowledgeable, and explained very clearly the severity of my current Glaucoma condition and the necessary steps he recommends to move forward with surgery for both cataract removal & Glaucoma procedure for my left eye. I feel very confident Dr. Mitrev has a very definitive Plan of Action for me as his patient!

I found out he has moved to Elizabeth City, NC. MY husband my son and I all three have been seeing Mitrev for several years and to our amazment we were never informed that he was moving out of Virginia. I also had a bill from them for visit on 4/09/13 and I cannot believe as I have been in his office in Chesapeake many times and nothing was ever mentioned about a $19.32 balance until this date 7/18/16 and threatening it will go to collections. I call this poor management. CaLLED AND NO REPLY.
