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.

quick very nice all procedures were wonderful. Everyone was super nice.

Dr. Walters is a compassionate practitioner who is gentle, kind and answered all my questions. I was terrified of cataract surgery, and with Dr. Walters there was no anxiety at all. He explained everything beforehand, and I had no problems at all with surgery. What impressed me most is after my exam, he stopped everything, sat in front of me and asked what questions I had. There was no sense of urgency; I think I could have talked for half an hour without being rushed. He is the best and I'll recommend him to all my friends
