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.

Doctor Cardone is rude he is not gentle with kids.

He gave my son a prescription for glasses after a very superficial evaluation by his assistant. There was a big change vs. previous year that nobody explained or mentioned (they just handed the formula on my way out) and, given the quality of the evaluation, I decided to take him to the optician where they measured his sight with the machine and turned out the prescription was totally wrong (more augment in the eye with better vision and numbers not in line with what he needed). Before this, I was never satisfied by Dr. Cardone not been able to answer any of my questions ("I dk", "if you want") and pretending to not understand what I say just because I don't use technical language (or maybe because I have an accent).

As a parent going through a surgery with their child isn't easy but Dr. Cardone made the whole process friendly, imformative and safe. I blindly trust him with my kids eyes and will continue coming to him. I recommend him to all my family and friends because having an excellent, professional and above all caring doctor for my little one who is willing to explain everything and take his time with each patient is priceless.

I must say my experience has been nothing but amazing since day 1! Dr.Cardone and his staff are very nice, super friendly and he's a great surgeon! The surgery my 3year old son had was successful and I'm happy to say the results are amazing! Recovery process was pretty easy and quick for my baby and I have zero complaints. If I can give plenty of more stars I would! Thanks Dr.Cordone and your team for all your hard and great work. My son and I really appreciate you all!

I can't thank Dr Cardone enough for his assistance with my 16 month old son. My sons pediatrician noticed abnormal eye movement during a checkup and was concerned. I saw Dr Cardone who not only gave him a thorough checkup but went out of his way to help me get an appt with a neurologist (I wasn't having any luck with getting an appt for the neurologist) Dr Cardones office followed up to make sure my son was set up with the help he needed. I will always go to Dr Cardone and his staff is amazing!!
