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 am thrilled with the results of my cataract surgery thanks to Dr Fooks… she was attentive to my questions beforehand & was calming & caring on both days of my surgeries…the office staff are all professional & I highly recommend Dr Fooks!

Unavailable practice
I had to reschedule a routine appointment. I was told the next available appointment was in 6 months. Obviously, this practice has more patients than it can handle.

FANTASTIC!!!
She handled a very difficult sports related cataract back in 2018. She was the only one I would trust to take care of my other eye. I now have 20-20 in both eyes! Life changing!I highly recommend Dr Fooks! And her team is professional, friendly and excellent!

Excellent Care
Dr. Fooks literally saved my eye site! She found a serious problem undetected by a previous doctor and fit me in to corrected it the next name with Laser surgery. She was thorough, patient and kind. I highly recommend.

Absolutely HORRIBLE!! Not only do they have a tech perform 99% of your exam.....they are absolutely incompetent. I returned for an eyeglass recheck and walked out with a prescription for eyeglasses which resulted in a waste of $500 for an incorrect prescription. In addition when I complained that I got no call back from the doctor I was advised that the doctors are way too busy and the techs manage everything for them. One of the worst practices I’ve ever visited. Don’t waste your time and money here.
