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 chose Dr Knape because of his patient reviews and his education. However, his demeanor was robotic and guarded, which I overlooked and chalked up to social awkwardness. But questions I asked regarding future preparation he would not address, instead he'd just ramble on about something else. When he asked me a question, hed cut me off and respond to it himself. When I reviewed my records, he failed to document my requests for lens workup or any pertinent info to my care. Instead he took idle chit chat and skewed it I to a negative light. Doctors know what this means... It means that no matter what other doctor I go to they're going to get his unprofessional mean spirited notes, for no reason..I was simply a new patient w a serious condition that for whatever reason, he refused to conduct himself properly. Be careful with this doctor. He appears as Dr Jekyll, which fooled.me, but he is also to Mr Hyde .
