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.

He is simply the best doctor I have had in any specialty. So thorough and caring. The only downside is the wait; but that is because you may have multiple people doing each test. Takes a while, but who wouldn't want someone to double-check their vision? He once came in on a Saturday just to do a surgery on me. Would rate him 6 out of 5 if that were possible. Since it became Cleveland Clinic, it has been harder to get an appt.. Can't bring a cup of coffee to the waiting room.
