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.

Sorry business practice
Had an appointment was there before time all I needed was simple eye exam for my one eye that’s all I have one eye. I told his staff I didn’t want my one eye to be dilated and they told me to leave no refund never saw the dr. I lost 156.00 and was told no refund. Very sorry money hungry business practice I was told there was doctors like this now I found one. My advice is don’t go here find somewhere else
What went well
  • Appointment scheduling
What could be improved
  • I didn't feel respected
  • Didn't listen or answer questions
  • Didn't explain conditions well
  • Staff wasn't friendly
  • Appointment was rushed
  • Didn't trust the provider's decisions
  • Long wait times
