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.

Dr Dyer is knowledgeable about eye diseases and he has a great bedside manner.

Dr Dyer took time to answer all my questions about my diagnosis and the upcoming surgery. He did not sugar coat what the procedure would require of me. I felt very comfortable with his response. I would recommend Dr Dyer if you are ever in need. Thank you Dr Dyer

Excellent doctor
Dr. Dyer is very thorough and excellent physician and eye surgeon. However, the extensive wait time in very crowded waiting rooms is atrocious and the parking is even worse.

Dr Dyer was excellent. He was pleasant, personable, and professional. He explained all aspects of each step he was doing throughout the entire exam which made me feel very comfortable. Also, with a full waiting room, I felt that each step of the appointment was well organized and completed in a timely manner.

Diabetes retinopathy
I've been going there over 5 years. The reception I get has been very friendly. Sometimes the wait time is over 20 minutes, but that doesn't happen all the time. Most of the problems I've had have been self-oriented, meaning I have to take care of my diabetes better. The doctor Dyer has kept my vision acceptable which I greatly appreciate.

Short wait times (average episode minutes before going back). He takes the time to answer your questions. He does what he can to make the appointment as smooth and painless as possible.

Dr. Dyer He’s a great ophthalmologist. He’s thorough with your care. He takes his time to really examine your eyes even when the office is full and you don’t feel neglected. He knows eye care. When he thought he seen something on my eye he sent me back in to have the photos of my redone just to be sure. Even though he thought it was something small he wanted to be certain. That gave me moreassurance that this is the right eye care cemetery for me. Thankful it was not what he thought, but he cared enough to be sure. I would recommended him for all your eye specialty needs. The staff is very welcoming and they make the atmosphere calm and inviting.

Dr Gawain Dyer: A 'Visionary' Ophthalmologist
I've been under Dr Dyer's care for several years, and I can't praise him enough. His expertise and personalized approach have been transformative. Notably, he prescribed a medication regiment that restored my site, even after macular degeneration threatened it. For me, injection visits can be an anxiety builder, but Dr Dyer's friendly and sincere demeanor puts me at ease each time. He's not just a doctor; he's a medical genius deserving clearly of a 5-Star PLUS rating.

Fantastic doctor
As a RN of 40 plus years, I am very choosy about anyone who treats me or my family. Dr. Dyer and staff treat everyone as though they are the most important person. His bedside manner is always the best, even though he may be swamped.

My retinal specialist is better than yours
He is so friendly and explains everything so well. Very nice man and even a better doctor!! He is amazing and listen to your needs. I highly recommend him and wish more doctors had his manner. I never feel rushed or just a number. It’s amazing to me with the number of patients he sees on a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly basis that he remembers you and always has a pleasant manner.
