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.

Terrible office staff!
The office staff at James Jochums' Orange City location are rude, unprofessional and dishonest. Highly recommend you go elsewhere as this Dr chooses employees who treat his patients terribly and make getting proper care very difficult. Very disappointed in Theresa, Sue and Bonnie for choosing to treat patients so poorly....

Dr. Jochum performed ptosis surgery on my right eyelid over 2 years ago. The surgery went very well with no complications. I would recommend him highly. I have also noted that for routine eye issues such as my dry eyes, the practice will encourage me to use OTC stuff and come in only if I dont self heal - this is in stark contrast to specialists today who are trying to bill as much as possible.
