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.

I recently visited Dr. Killian for a routine eye exam. I was very impressed with the friendly and efficient staff. The exam was thorough, and he took the time to explain my prescription and answer all of my questions. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Killian to anyone looking for comprehensive eye care.

Great eye doctor in Franklin, NC!
Dr. Killian takes time to talk with you about your eye care. He genuinely cares about his patients and that it is evident by the way he spoke with me and how he addressed my short term and long term ocular health.

Excellent doctor. Took time to answer my questions, explained a condition that may need treatment in the future. Commented my dry eyes are looking better this year and to continue with the drops. Wished me well as I get ready to go to Florida for the winter. Always a pleasant visit, truly concerned about my health in general.

Was not impressed
Waited in a room for 45 minutes before being seen. Seemed hurried and uninterested. Did not help me with my eye issue. I had surgery with another Optometrist to correct the problem that Killian, " just doesn't see."
