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.

New lenses after cataract
Excellent alway in and out quickly. He performed two surgeries one on each eye two weeks apart. I’ve been wearing glasses since I was two years old for the last 62 years. I now have 2025 vision and don’t need glasses except for reading small things. It is quite liberating, I received follow-up calls from the doctor after surgery including from the medical center I had a next day follow up appointment and a one week follow up appointment on each eye I am extremely satisfied with the work that he did and I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Roth was accommodating and fit me into his schedule for an emergent/same day visit. Aside from being courteous and professional, he was thorough in my exam and was extremely knowledgeable. He explained my condition in a manner that was easy to understand and took the time to answer all of my questions.

Great eye doctor and understands issues that effect us over time. Takes time to get all concerns addressed in the appointment. Would give 5 stars except the office experience (payment, documentation) is not as efficient as it could be requiring more time/calls on the part of the patient to obtain necessary prescriptions and receipts.

Decided to not return to Dr Roth for my yearly diabetic check up after he misdiagnosed my daughter. She has to have surgery after being told it was simply dry eye. I had exam elsewhere and it was discovered both eyes have angle closure glaucoma & need laser surgery. Went for a second opinion and was told the same, & that it was something I’d had for a couple of years. I did complain my eyes were blurry at my last exam and I was told my glasses were now too strong. I could have gone blind

I went to Dr.Zachary J. Roth about redness in my eyes. He said there is nothing wrong. I had to go another doctor after two days because I didn't feel good, there was allergy in my eyes and and she prescribed with allergy drops. He couldn't know even allergy in my eyes. I will never go to Brass Eye Center again.

I needed to see an ophthalmologist due to blurring and plain in my left eye. I visited the office due to Dr. Brass's high rating and was assigned to Dr. Roth. They worked me in very quickly for an appointment this morning (I called late yesterday afternoon). The wait was very short and the staff (including Dr. Roth, Jim, and Jessica) was extremely friendly and attentive; they all did an exceptional job addressing my concerns fully. That truly is the difference between a good and a great office.
