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.

Dr. Salem performed cataract surgery on both my eyes several weeks apart. He explained everything thoroughly. Had no pain and quick recoveries. The surgeries went well and now can see 20/20. Great office. All the workers were helpful and nice.

The office environment was comfortable, the waiting room has large windows and it was quiet. All of the staff was friendly and professional. Dr Sleem was knowledgeable, informative and also friendly. I did at least six different eye tests in around an hour, total time, including waiting for the pupil dilation solution to take effect. Dr Sleem took time to explain that type 2 diabetes can cause eye damage, that keeping my A1C under control is an important factor for long term eye heath.
