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 have been seeing a retina specialist and cornea doctor which will be a year next month that I had surgery.I was not the only one this happened to on that day.

The doctor is nice. Problems a few days after the surgery. I was relegated to an optometrist who couldn't tell me what the problem was, only that he could not give me more "drops". I never asked for more drops only why my vision had gotten worse instead of better and what he was going to do about it. HE did NOTHING I left the office VERY ANGERY. A few days after that my vision got worse and was getting worse by the minute. The appointment desk was going to refer me to the optometrist again. I had to THREATEN them before they would contact Dr. LoBue to see me that same day. He immediately referred me to a retina specialist for a problem that was a result of the cataract surgery. I have been under theca re of the retina specialist for 7 months now. Richard M.

New to the area we needed to find a new ophthalmologist office since my husband has severe glaucoma. We were enrolling in new insurance and had read reviews that Dr. LoBue was the best in the area, we believe this to be true from our experience from beginning to end. We originally called the office to see what plans were accepted we spoke to Billing they suggested an accepted insurance plan and they were very helpful. We saw Dr. Miller and we were very impressed with the office & staff.

All doctors and staff are courteous and respectful. I got lost on the drive over and over the phone received step by step how to get to the Menifee location. Front receptionist was very kind as well as technician. I've heard from family members that have seen Dr. Evans and Dr. LoBue they both take the time to answer any and all questions regarding the health of our eyes, to which I saw Dr. Aslami and was true. Glasses were an affordable price and great choices at the Menifee location was a plus.

The doctor is nice, the surgery went well HOWEVER I experienced problems after the surgery. His appointment setter blew me off, said my problem was common. I called at least 15 times trying to get an a'-ointment. I didn't go to the ER because Iwan't in pain.I stupidly believed her and lost my vision in my left eye.
