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.

Best. Most Skilled. Low key.
David Richards is an MD and PhD. He is undoubtedly the best of the best. And you would never know it to talk with him because his focus is 100% towards his patient and not towards himself.

Dr Richards is a wonderful caring Dr. He doesn't rush to do surgery. He tries medication first. He answers all your questions and I reconvene him highly.

I was so Impressed by the professional behavior of the staff at New Tampa Eye Institute. Dr. Richards displays the confidence of a truly gifted Doctor. My first visit visit with him and he detected glaucoma. He took the time to review my tests with me showing the results. I have a great deal of trust and confidence in Dr. Richards and highly recommend him.
