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. Hypes is knowledgable, friendly and cares about his patient's well-being. He's a real straight-shooter.

Dr Hypes is worth the hype ...
I suffered a detached retina and was under the care of Dr Johnson at Palmetto Retina at the time. But when the retina detached Dr J was unavailable and they flipped me to Dr Hypes. Best thing that ever happened to me with regard to my eyes, my situation. The man is incredibly forthright and caring. Extremely capable. I had pressure issues ... he came through like a champ. Ever had to have a needle inserted into your eyeball in the middle of the night to extract fluid to relieve pressure? If you ever suffer from that kind of pressure you'll beg for the needle and hope it's Dr Hypes giving you the relief. I cannot recommend him enough.
