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 cannot trust him at all. He misdiagnosed my eye with glaucoma and performed a laser procedure which did not help at all. Then, he wanted to perform a major operation and his office asked me to pay a copay over $4k one month before the scheduled date. I was concerned he wanted to lock me up in case I changed my mind. I was glad I did not listen to him. Gradually, my eye symptom went away naturally. If a doctor does not care right or wrong for patients, the patients may suffer more if they get unnecesary treatments.

A good friend with experience in the field of opthalmology told me about the many skills Dr. Derick possesses. When she asked about how my recent cataract removal surgery was progressing, I could honestly tell her that Dr. Derick made the operation seem simple....I know better, but his ease with patients is very helpful, along with a low-key explanation of a complex set of steps. He's great to work with.

3/2015, Dr. Derick performed surgery to remove cataracts & treat my glaucoma. Stent in one eye & canaloplasty in the other. Toric lenses in both eyes. I cannot say enough about the difference this has made in my life. After wearing contact lenses for over 50 years & using eye drops for glaucoma for 13 years, I now have 20/20 vision & no longer wear contacts or need reading glasses or eye drops. His skill as a surgeon & overall compassionate care is awesome! Highly recommend him & staff.

I have been overwhelmingly satisfied with Dr Derick. He performed laser surgery on my eye and had continually monitored the successful treatment, and care, of my glaucoma.

I have seen Dr Derick for several years now, and I feel like he has saved my eyesight. I was diagnosed with early onset glaucoma in my late 30's he has performed 2 laser surgeries, cataract surgery, and scalpel in your eye glaucoma surgery on both eyes I'm off all glaucoma drops, and for the first time since I was 8, I don't wear corrective lens! I don't trust my eyes to anyone except Dr Derick.
