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.

Excellent surgeon., caring and trustworthy.
Takes time with patient and answers all questions.Made me feel safe and calm for a possible difficult procedure per another doctor who did not do transplants.So happy Dr Noth did my surgery!

I love his manner of completely focusing in on his patient. You know immediately he cares deeply about what he does and the people he is helping. He always gives me the feeling of great confidence that I am in good hands. He did both my cataracts and my husbands glaucoma surgery. Everything went perfect and was well organized. I wish there were more doctors that have his dedication and expertise. His office staff is so pleasant and helpful. My husband and I are so happy we found him!

Called Dr Noth on a Sunday afternoon when I had an accident and got some nasty stuff in my eyes working on my car. He fit me in for an emergency appt the next morning. Thankfully everything was fine with my eyes which he confirmed by his exam.

while waiting for my appointment I could her the receptionist sarcastically arguing with patient - why was she so right in her diagnosis better yet why is a receptionist providing any medial advice??? ANN the receptionist be little a patient for putting Visine in their eye next came a patient with a irritated eye and she condescendingly argued with the patient as to what the diagnosis was and what to do about it.. I guess her name isn't on the practice's board because - why???? in my opinion she is not stable and behaves poorly for a medical practice

Dr. Noth was so patient and kind performing cataract surgery on both of my father's eyes. My dad can now can see 20/20 which is just unbelievable to me as I am nearsighted myself. I can not wait for the day to be able to have this operation, hopefully by this amazing surgeon, Dr. Noth. He is very skilled and probably the most conscientious medical doctor you will ever have the privilege to experience. My father couldn't be happier to be able to see clearly again.

Dr. Noth took care of my wife on an emergency basis. Her eye was blood red and irritated her, and she could not sleep. He immediately diagnosed that the eye contained a scratch. He gave her medication that cleared it up immediately! Dr. Noth has been our eye doctor for 25 years, and there is nobody else that we would go to. He is the best!
