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. Stephens recently did cataract surgery on both of my eyes. I feel very confident that I had the best care possible. He is professional, knowledgeable & very thorough. He is very conscientious about post-operative follow up. I am pleased with my vision & the continual care that I received.

Excellent Doctor
Dr Stevens has been by eye doctor for about 12 years. I never have to wait long and he takes time to explain everything that I need to know. He performed my cataract surgery and I can see so much better now.
