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 from both eyes by Dr. Haynes. Prior to the procedure, I was given extensive information on what is expect before, during, and after surgery. Recovery was simple and complete.

Dr. Haynes is a wonderful doctor, always willing to work me in his schedule when I need to be. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my eyes. If it wasn't for him I think I would be blind right now.
