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.

Conscientious and knowledgeable with a pleasant professionalism.

Cataract surgery by Dr. Gates was a the closest thing to a medical miracle that I will ever see. The vision in my right eye was defective for 60 years. After cataract surgery with a torci lens inserted, it is now 20 - 15. Process was silky smooth from start to finish.
