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.

He was very personable, and squeezed me in his tight schedule for a requested cyst removal that was not part of the original appointment.

Wonderful Experience
Dr. Rawlinson was personable, professional and talented. He performed exactly as he said and the results in both eyes were exactly as he said they would be and exactly what I had requested and hoped. The staff working with him in both the examination center and surgery center were likewise professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him and the center.

I have seen Dr. Rawlinson for two years, and am very pleased with the way I was treated. He explains things thoroughly, takes time to listen to my concerns, and is very friendly. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a good eye doctor.

My visit was follow up to cataract surgery last fall. His staff is very pleasant and efficient. Dr. Rawlinson takes time to review the results of the day's staff work, asks if I have any problems with my eyes, does is own study of my eyes and takes time to let me know what he sees and make any suggestions. He is very approachable, conversational, and makes suggestions as he sees either a need or a decision to be made. The visits are always pleasant and I leave with the feeling I know what's going on and am comfortable with the situation or changes to be made. I highly recommend Dr. Rawlinson.

I had cataracts removed in 2007. Since moving here, Ive been to see DAVID J. RAWLINSON, D.O 2 times. Last fall I had an appt. The first thing he asked was why I take eye vitamins. Said there is no study on “Gods green earth that proves they work”. Then when I said Im having trouble watching tv at night, his response was buy a bigger tv or turn up the lights. Im 71 now and have never had any dr speak to me like that. He is history in my book. Finding another dr for my next appt or go back to my one in GR.
