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.

Money, Money, Money says it all
I believe their equipment is not properly calibrated on the recommended 3 month intervals, therefore I believe the diagnosis is not correct. The optometrist that did my exam stated I would have 20 20 vision after the surgery. I had cataract surgery for both eyes, now I have a fog around the perimeter of both eyes, and dry eye. He did do a laser treatment on one eye that didn't result in any change. I saw another ophthalmologist to see if this could be remedied. I needed to get glasses to help and use eye drops. This doctor also suggested they should keep to Lasik. I wound definitely stay away from this business

Extremely Intelligent & Skilled Surgeon
I was referred to Dr Elmer in pursuit of fixing strabismus that was slowly creeping back after years of an attempt to fix it during childhood. He answered all of my questions in great detail, & was very reassuring. Sweet disposition & nurturing bedside manner, but most importantly, the end result of the surgery exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend…
