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. Meirick did my first cataract surgery. Only 30 minutes from entering the operating room to walking out the front door! Confident & knowledgable, and still remains personable. No complaints.

Pre cataract evaluation.
Dr. Meirick was very professional. Aside from normal doctor patient testing, he impressed me by adjusting quickly to my severe hearing loss, elevating and directing his voice to help me hear his thoughts on my cataracts. He also had advice on getting the most cost efficient prescription on the basis of my insurance. Great visit overall with 5 other friendly staff involved in my testing.
