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 Price is honest ,straight forward and thorough.
Dr Price is very informative and answered all my questions. Glad I found him!!! Never felt rushed and great bed side manner.

Initial visit with Dr. Price
Very pleased to get to see Dr. Price as quickly as I was. He was very helpful and supportive as I continue to battle with early onset glaucoma in my right eye.

Fantastic experience all around
Fantastic doctor and office. I had an eye issue crop up suddenly that was quite unsettling. The office was able to fit me in quickly. I was prepared to camp out in the waiting room since they were fitting me in, but the wait was minimal. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. Dr. Price was friendly. gracious, thorough, professional, and clearly explained my issue while setting me at ease. I could not have asked for better care! Many thanks to Dr. Price and his wonderful staff!

I was able to get in the same day my eye problem began. There was little wait time, and I was seen promptly, the whole process was about 35 minutes

Awesome Dr Visit!
Everytime I go to an appointment with Dr. Price, I am welcomed as soon as I walk in the door! Everyone in that office is friendly and kind! Dr. Price is amazing! He is so knowledgeable and thorough. He is also so patient in that he is so willing to answer any questions I have. He did cataract surgery on my eyes 2 years ago and that was also a very positive experience!

Dr Price has been my opthomologist for many years.
Dr Price listens, takes time to explain recommendations and answers questions. He made appropriate referral to a retina specialist but continues to treat my glaucoma , myopia and treated my cataracts surgically. I recommend him highly!

Does not prescribe contact lenses and didn’t let m
I was certain I’d need glasses because my vision had deteriorated and wanted both glasses and contact lenses. Dr. Price would not recommend contact lenses but never told me that he wouldn’t prescribe them. Now I must go to another eye doctor for another exam and prescription.

I really appreciate the friendly and caring staff. I have total confidence in Dr. Price to evaluate my condition and treat me with expert care and concern. He is very personable and treats the whole person, not just the eye health.

Exceptional as always!
Last year, I was introduced to Dr. Price by another doctor who praised him for her successful cataract surgery. Indeed, he discovered my impending cataract issues while also quelling my fear associated with recent visual streaks and floaters. His staff brought me in immediately within hours after my call. His remarkable bedside manner and thorough evaluation to assure me that there was no associated hemorrhage, provided me great relief. He sent me home with great relief, allowing me to continue my active lifestyle on the pickleball court. He will follow up on my status in three weeks. His staff is also wonderful, warm and personal. Amazing! By the way, the patients you meet in his intimate waiting room love him too! This is no surprise. Amen.
