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.

Exceptional!
Dr. Payne is exceptional. He is extremely knowledgable, competent and genuinely kind. Not only does he keep current with new treatment modalities, he takes the time to answer questions and explains information clearly. He and his team are excellent professionals.

Great doctor who treats his patients with respect
He did my cataract surgery. The day after my first cataract surgery, there was a big snow storm & I couldn't get to his office for the necessary follow-up. He personally called me & asked many questions about how I was doing. Then he gave me instructions on everything I needed to do to have a good recovery. He made me feel very safe with my recovery. He has a true emergency number to call that has a real person to talk to anytime. I was able to cancel my 2nd surgery very late at night because I was sick. It was comforting to know he could be contacted if there was an emergency.

5-star Review, 10-star MD
This was my third consecutive year as a patient of Dr. Payne’s at Pocono Eye Associates in Brodheadsville. His training and education precede him. He is excellent at communicating with his patients as he takes the time to explain exams, conditions, procedures, and the overall importance of eye healthcare, regardless of underlying conditions like diabetes. The staff at Pocono Eye Associates is friendly, professional, and the techs are highly trained. The comprehensive eye exam they offer is thorough and state-of-the-art. I can truthfully say Dr. Ethan Payne is the best opthamologist I have ever been to and I am delighted to have him as one of my medical professionals.
