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 made an appointment to see Dr. Brubaker for my Glaucoma after he was highly recommended by my Ophthalmologist. The office has state-of-the-art equipment and highly trained staff. Dr. Brubaker was kind, professional, and highly knowledgeable. He carefully explained my options and gave me his recommendations. I appreciated that Dr. Brubaker answered all of my questions. I have seen other Glaucoma Specialists during the last 11 years, but I feel that I received superior care and treatment from Dr. Brubaker. I would highly recommend Dr. Brubaker especially to people with Glaucoma.

Everyone in Dr. Brubaker's office was very welcoming, courteous, and professional. Dr. Brubaker himself took time to explain my optons and answer all my questions. I love the handout they provided, which succinctly summarizes the features and cost of each option.

Dr. Brubaker is a very caring and skilled glaucoma specialist. He performed a surgical procedure that reduced the pressure in my eye since all the drops I tried stopped working. I feel confident that I always receive the best medical care from Dr, Brubaker. Thank you.

Dr Brubakers staff was rude. we waited over 45 minutes with the office obviously over booked and then the rude receptionist come out and tell my mother she would have to reschedule because she only had Medicare coverage. They needed a suplimenyary insurance to see her. What ever happened to some one paying cash for their share of cost? I wouldn’t trust this doctor! INCOMPETANT, unorganized office!!!

Dr. Brubaker performed a successful trabeculectomy to treat my glaucoma. During the course of my 35 year treatment for glaucoma, I have seen approximately a dozen well-qualified ophthalmologists while undergoing several surgeries on both eyes. I was referred to Dr. Brubaker because I was maxed out on eye-drop therapy and needed a third trabeculectomy on my 'good eye'. He is a very skilled eye surgeon and he is appropriately confident, but cautious. I recommend him highly!

Dr Brubaker is a great glaucoma specialist! He performed two absolutely successful and painless glaucoma surgeries on my both eyes. Now I have my both eyes with no glaucoma symptoms at all! My eye pressure now 12 and 18 without medications, was 24 and 25 with medications. My eye balls are white and my vision is clear. Thank you very much, Doc!
