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 G has my Glaucoma under control. He just performed cataract surgery in both eyes and I am truly amazed how clear and vibrant my sight is. He is very conscientious and even called me after surgery to see how I was doing. His staff is also great. Very quick to follow up if I have questions. Simply wonderful experience with Dr Gilbert and staff.

Permanently damaged
Please do not this surgeon the surgeon to operate on your eyes. I am in my 40s and had cataract surgery with him. He told me that worst case scenario would need reading glasses, but I ended up with significant corneal damage that has caused permanent damage that will end up needing corneal replacement surgery. My vision is significantly impaired, he told me that he would not leave me hanging, but never called me after he realized that he had severely permanently damaged my eyes.

Dr. Gilbert is an awesome professional. He did cataracts surgery on both my eyes and I am very happy with the results. His manners are impeccable, he is thorough and caring. I choose to have one eye for short distance and the other for long distance. I don't need glasses and my insurance cover almost all the cost. Thanks Dr. Gilbert

I am a physician like many of Dr Gilbert's patients and there is a reason. Dr Gilbert is extremely talented, knowledgeable, and up to date on the latest in his field. Even more than that, he is kind, patient, and has good judgement. Your eyes are secondary only to your brain as far as quality of life. Pick your ophthalmologist carefully.
