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.

Retina Tear Followup
I can highly recommend Dr. Ringeisen. He was very professional, answered all of my questions and fixed the tear in my retina. My follow up appointment was delayed because of several emergencies early in the day. I am not complaining, since my first appointment with him was an emergency. Most retina tears are treated as an emergency. If you are worried about a possible delay seeing the doctor, and are scheduling the appointment, I would recommend early morning. The chances of being impacted by and emergency may be less.

I Graduared to a working healthy eye.
When there, prepare to wait for several hours. It take time to go through different stations and get a very thorough exam.
