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.

Quick, confident diagnosis

Treated like cattle; no diagnosis; rude assistant
Black male assistant(sorry did not see his name) who checks for glaucoma and does eye test was great. Respectful and patient. Then treated like cattle...in and out as fast as possible. Doc never said what was wrong with eye...no explanations. When trying to ask Dr Shah questions..such as what is the problem with eye...such as infection....chronic dry eye.... female assistant cut discussion off and said 'I' am writing how to use drops. Wrote down PF....well what is PF...preservative free after searching online. First visit..gone 3 times so far.. did not say 6 times a day for tear drops nor needed a gel at night. So is it 6 times plus gel at night? Did not write down must wait 5 minutes in between drops. 3 different ones. Also had to ask if would need to use tear drops for rest of life or if this was temporary. So in and out fast and still do not have a diagnosis. One more visit to go but considering cancelling.
