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. Raber is not only the best surgeon, he is a very caring doctor who puts his patients first. He has done both of my cornea transplants and I highly recommend him.

Dr Raber is obviously an expert in his field but the friendliness of his staff left a lot to be desired . . . most acted as if they were exhausted and/or bored with their jobs. None made me feel very welcome..

I am currently being seen by Dr. Raber for Recurrent Corneal Erosion. I have been dealing with it for 9+ years and have seen multiple doctors for it. I felt like I was in good hands right at our first meeting. He has seen RCE before and is willing to try other methods before resorting to surgery.

The best eye doctor by far. Went to many and only he was able to diagnosis a congenital issue I had with my eyes. After two coronial transplants I was able to play golf again! I would recommend Dr Raber to anyone seeking a eye Doctor!!!

Dr. Raber is outstanding! I had DSEK cornea transplants in both eyes due to Fuchs' dystrophy back in 2010. In my case he did cataract surgery at the same time. He also did capsulotomy on both eyes later as well as diagnosing and referring me to a retina specialist for a PVD. I had follow-ups for several years but no longer need to return unless there is a problem. There hasn't been. Dr. Raber was great explaining the problem and its complications and guiding me through all the follow-up.
