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 had cataracts removed, and in one eye Dr. Umana told me I had to have a toric lens implanted to correct an astigmatism, so that I would only need reader glasses. Now I am so nearsighted I can't see past the screens on the windows. I can see up close very clearly. Not the least bit foggy, but he wants to laser my eye capsules to clear my vision. He ruined my vision.

I recently has LASIK performed by Dr. Umana and I am extremely happy with my procedure and Dr. Umana. His bedside manner is wonderful, he is very friendly and personable. There was a slight issue when they were cutting my cornea with the laser however because of Dr. Umana's experience and expertise he was able to correct the problem by hand and continue with the procedure. My vision is now perfect and I couldn't be happier with Dr. Umana!

Friendly enough but patients are herded in and out like cattle, not pleased with my Lasik surgery as my eyesight is worse now than before. Will look for another provider for my other eye.

Worked on eye lids. One eye lid open very wide. One eye can hardly open. Very poor workmanship. Do not recommend.
