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 would enthusiastically recommend Dr. Panichella. I had been treated at one of the larger groups locally and needed to see a more professional, caring and skilled provider. Dr. Panichella fit the bill. He reviewed my test results performed at the original provider and had the expertise to see a very serious problem that the provider performing the test did not. Dr. Panichella cared enough to look into my vision loss and take appropriate action where the other group did not.

Biggest quack I have ever seen. Gave me a new glasses prescription, but could not see clearly. Had me come back for more tests, but couldn't find what was wrong. Went to another doctor, who told me the prescription was way off. I wonder if there are other patients of his out there with a similar story.

I visited Dr. Tom today for a general eye exam and it was an overall amazing experience. The office was very well kept and the front desk staff was the most pleasant I've dealt with in quite some time. Dr. Tom himself was great. The exam was very thorough and he made sure to explain every step of the process. He listened to all of my concerns and made sure to address them during the examination. In doing so, I feel that I left the office with a complete understanding of my overall eye health. I can tell that he treats all of his patients like family and I am thrilled to have found a GREAT Ophthalmologist nearby. I highly recommend Dr. Tom!
