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. Fox is an exceptional doctor. He performed a cataract removal on one of my eyes. From the time I had my first contact with him for an exam to after removeal of cataract, he took his time with explaining the condition of my eye, what the procedure would include, answered questions during the procedure and post surgical questions. I was very confident in his knowledge and having him perform the procedure. I was impressed with his asking me if he could say a prayer with me prior to surgery.
