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. Anderson is an excellent doctor. She is very knowledgeable and efficient. She is professional and has a common sense approach, which I find reassuring. But she is also caring and compassionate. I have been seeing Dr. Anderson for many years and I trust her judgement implicitly. I highly recommend her to my family and friends.

Very caring - extremely thoughtful. She was concerned not just about my eyesight, but how I was doing at home. She is also very straightforward about my prognosis and options. A rare combination in healthcare these days.

I recently saw Dr. Anderson with some troubling vision problems. She came highly recommended by hospital staff. She is clearly a brilliant doctor and took great care and time to make sure I got all the needed tests and then clearly explained all options. She also seems to be a caring person with a wry sense of humor.

This women calls herself a professional. She is one of the most rude people I have run into. I didn't know that her position entitled her to treat patients poorly
