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.Mizen has a rare combination of brilliant, insightful medical expertise and experience together with empathy and compassion.

Typically a long wait but worth it for the amount of time he spends focusing on you and your issues. Dr Mizen is brilliant. He pulls no punches. You always feel like you’ve been told the truth in clear form.

I'm the third patient of the day, and he's already running 2 hours late. I don't care if he's a great doctor, he has no consideration of your time.

Dr Mizen is great but every time I come, I wait at least 1 hour and 30 mins before they call you. I’m not sure if he is worth it because I’m coming from Indiana and the drive is already an hour. That’s 2 1/2 hours of time wasted and this is not counting the time spent in the office. I’m not sure if the waiting area has heat. It’s always cold

23 years as a patient. I describe Dr. Mizen to friends as an example of what a 5 star doctor is. He the most brilliant doctor that I have ever seen and I have seen a lot of doctors in my life. He diagnosed me correctly and immediately when a number of other neurologists failed. I am 100% confident in his judgement. He has also referred me to other 5 star physicians. With tests, dilation, and how thorough he is, the time there for an appointment can be very long. He's worth the wait.

I was referred to Dr. Mizen in 2009 when I was diagnosed with Strabismus (crossed eyes) as a result of Graves Disease. He was able to correct my vision with only 2 procedures (one on each eye) . Both were done out patient with almost immediate positive results. I am truly grateful in finding him.

Neuro-ophthalmology is one of the subspecialties of ophthalmology that bridges neurology and neurosurgery. I get to see patients who have disorders of vision not on an ocular problem but rather on a brain problem. More often than not, I'm usually...read more
