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.

Much better than care received at Mass Eye and Ear.

Words do not express how satisfied I have been with Dr. Papale. Dr. Papale removed cataracts from both eyes and fixed my astigmatism. He was thorough, informative and answered every question that I had ( and believe me there were many. But the best part of all has been the result of the surgery. Pre surgery I was afraid to drive at night and could barely make out the shapes of objects , especially on the side of the road. Now I LOVE to drive at night. Literally it feels like an incredible light show every time I drive when it's dark. It's almost like I'm driving in Las Vegas it's so bright. I cannot thank Dr. Papale enough for his incredible work.

Dr. PAPALE has treated my glaucoma for a number of years. I have also had both cataract and PRK LASIK surgery performed by Dr PAPALE. His bedside manner and follow up on procedures has been second to none. A true professional in every sense of the word.

Dr. Papale and his staff were amazing throughout my lasik surgery experience. I felt completely comfortable during the procedure and with the after care instructions given. All followup visits went great.
