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 receive a shot in my left eye never had a bad experience, My eye never bothered me. I think that’s a pretty good experience and so far so good.

Dr. Lin is an amazing Doctor. He not only explains everything so you can understand what is going and the options of treatments, he always listens to your questions. He has one of the best bed side manners I have encountered in such a busy doctor. I am thankful for him to help restore my sight . I would highly recommend Dr Lin

Dr. Lin is great. He explains everything, from the diagnosis, to what and why he is prescribing or recommending treatment. He doesnt seem like he's in a rush to get to the next patient, and I fell he is honest.
