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.

Best of the best. Listens. Careful. Confident. Expert. I trust my sight to him.

Dr. Major is an excellent doctor with exemplary knowledge, skill and bed-side manner. Fully explains procedure and what to expect. He listens well and answers all questions in plain English. His staff is equally good. I recommend Dr. Major to anyone who might need his expertise and skills.

Excellent as always. I get shots in both eyes and found there is nothing to fear since I feel no pain. Dr. Major has such a pleasant attitude and makes me feel as if he is a friend. One of the things that I noticed is that not only does Dr. Major wear a mask when he is giving me the shots, but so do I as well as my daughter who takes me for my appointment. The office and the exam rooms are especially clean and sanitary. I highly recommend Dr. Major to anyone. We think theworld of him.

Been seeing Dr. Major Jr* for about 8 months for floaters in my eyes. He is very good. Is always prepared when seeing me after the staff has collected information on my current status. He quickly examines me, give me an update on status and then any need for followup. I have been very please with him.

Dr. Major performed my Detacted Retina surgery successfully a year ago, and my follow up visits with him have been positive. He is extremely professional and very personable, always taking the time to explain exactly what is occurring. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

In 2014 Dr. Major performed macular pucker surgery (right eye). I blame myself for going ahead with the surgery since my vision was only slightly distorted in that eye. On the day of the surgery, Dr. Major was 45 minutes late due to "personal business" according to a nurse. I was already prepped and ready on the table during the wait. Dr. Major insisted that after surgery retina scans looked good. The real result is a significant grayed out portion of my vision field that wasn't there before.
