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.

I have been a patient of Dr.Molk’s for 37 years. He is extremely knowledgeable and I have always found him very easy to talk with and always answers my questions thoughtfully with a full explanation.He did my cataract eye surgery a few years ago and had corrected my nearsightedness to twenty twenty vision. I will only trust Dr. Molk for my eye care

I’ve been with Dr. Molk for over 30 years. I had to have cataract surgery & have a stigmatism, so I wanted to go for a second opinion. I didn’t feel comfortable Without A second opinion. I went into the office to state this and the next week I got a letter from Dr. Molk saying I think it would be in your best interest to seek your medical care from a different doctor. He said I believe you need a physician who you can trust whom you feel comfortable talking to and who is advised you Respect. it appears that I have no longer have your trust and respect therefore it wouldn’t be wise to continue as your physician you should seek medical care elsewhere. He has no Respect for patient. I’m so Glad I switched to a Office that had better equipment. The lense that he Was going to put in Got flagged at consulting ophthalmologist where I went for a second opinion and had the surgery. all I wanted was a second opinion and I’m so happy that I did He could’ve call instead of ignoring me

Have been going to Molk for several years, and really never have had a good experience. His staff are never friendly on the phone, and are never willing to work with you in regards to scheduling.In one example, I was caught behind a car accident on my way to an appointment, and ended up being 5 minutes late; they immediately cancelled the appointment because Molk "isn't willing to wait". Molk himself is also very ornery and doesn't answer questions. Not the nicest guy. Should have left earlier.

Both him and his staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. They also do a very thorough job - been going there for a few years now for my regular eye checkups.

I had been a patient for 30 years before he did cataract surgery on my right eye. My eyesight was better before the surgery and he sluffed it off on old age or my eyeglasses which I had remade twice to his prescription. Because of his attitude and the results of his operating I wouldn't recommend Dr Molk to my worst enemy.
