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.

We got the hustle! Given the choice of having her cataract surgery performed by “traditional method” or with the laser method, my wife chose the laser because its use could correct her slight astigmatism as well. We were told Medicare doesn’t approve of laser in cataract surgery; we would have to pay the extra $3400 out of pocket. BUT Medicare does approve of laser for cataract surgery, just not for correction of astigmatism. So, instead of receiving $900 from Medicare, Dr. D got $4300. Slick.
