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 James Kapustiak is the best dr ever. If you have any issues and I mean any issues he will schedule to meet you eben when hes off work. Hes the best dr ever. Glad youre my dr wouldnt trade you for any dr

In my opinion, he’s not a good doctor. He overbooks, which causes problems. Patients are waiting too long then when you see him it’s a quick 5 minute exam and a follow up visit is scheduled.

Dr. Kapustiak is the best! He performed an eyelid sling surgery on both my eyes and they’ve never looked better. Book an appointment today - you won’t be sorry.

Not a very good surgeon my eyebrow lift failed after 3 weeks and eyes started drooping again he said my eyebrow position is going to stay this way because that is the way it is I got a second opinion and the surgeon recommended getting another surgery because one of the eyes muscles is totally drooped and the other one started he may be a good general opthalmologist but not a great surgeon
