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.

Coming from a big city with highly credentialed physicians and surgeons, we were thrilled to know that Dr Sitenga has such deep expertise plus many years experience. He is a noted surgeon, able to handle every type of circumstance, and his practice is so easy and convenient to work with.

I like his friendly professional manner. He operated on both my eyes to remove the cataracts, did an excellent job. My one eye gave him a little trouble, but he persevered and all turned out great. I like having an eye doctor with surgical experience. I would highly recommend him. He always answers any and all questions I present him with regarding my eyes.

Sitenga removed something from my eyelid, told me it was done, it wasn't had to come back a month later for a 2 minute visit, he prescribed antibiotics, desk/billing lady told me no charge since it was a follow up. Was billed $160 for a 2 minute office visit, then spent months trying to explain it was no charge and finally Molly, billing, waived the fee. Got a bill today saying I owed again. Spoke with Nancy, Office mgr, she said I had to pay now Molly no longer worked there. No integrity
