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.

Absolutely the best!
This doctor was and remains a godsend! We were so lucky to find him. He gave my sister her eyesight back after severe cataracts. More importantly he gave her hope when she felt hopeless. We have never had anything but a positive experience with this doctor. I wish we found him sooner. It was literally because another doctor cancelled 20 minutes before my sister’s appointment. And Dr Zerykier had an opening.

Professional, gifted and caring,
Dr Zerykier, performed a cataract surgery, 12 years ago. The surgery was a complete success. Having poor vision (extremely nearsighted) since I was a child (6 years old) having to endure wearing thick lenses that made me very uncomfortable and extremely self-conscious as I went thru adolescence to young adulthood. Contact lenses for me were difficult but I endured the annoying irritation for up to 10 hours per day and then resorting to glasses when I had no choice. When I was diagnosed with cataracts I really did not know what I was in for. Dr. Zerykier explained in detail what the process involved with the surgery, recuperation period and what to expect in terms of my vision. He was very clear that I truly should be 100% committed to the surgery. It was amazing that I could see 20/20 without glasses or contacts and could read without glasses. On every visit for all these years he always asks me about my vision and I keep telling him.........I'M HAPPY, very happy. Thank you Dr. Z

Dr. Zerykier and his entire staff are amazing. They really care about their patients. Their approach to the patient can be described as calming and understanding. They explain each step as you go to ensure you feel very comfortable. Dr. Zerykier is a good listener and responds patiently to your questions and when clarification of procedures is needed. Although initially anxious, the procedure went very smoothly. I highly recommend Dr. Zerykier without reservation In the evening I received a call from the doctor asking how I was feeling and if I had any questions He's the best

My mother took my 95-year-old grandmother to this doctor today and had a horrible experience. The doctor was condescending and rude and upset my grandmother terribly. I’ve never seen her so upset after going to doctor appt. If I could give zero stars, I would!

The staff are polite to me. There can be a wait when the office gets busy but I've always been given thorough personalized attention when my turn comes. This doctor came recommended by a friend. I have not been disappointed and would recommend him myself.

The Dr. is extremely misinformed in regards to his analysis. He told me that I had a little sugar in my eye when, in actuality, I have a great deal and need to undergo a procedure for it. And his staff is condescending to a degree I cannot even describe. STAY AWAY from this man!!!
