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.

Great opthamologist!

Had the most thorough eye exam I've ever had with Dr. Cope due to possible damage to my right eye from a fall. He was compassionate, patient and left no stones unturned. His knowledge, skills and personal interest in my situation made me ever so confident the problem will soon be fixed. Can't imagine going anywhere else. Thank you Dr. Cope!
