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.

Top notch care and expertise
I've been a patient of Dr. Sammartino for over 30 years. I get a full and thorough eye exam as well as new scripts for eyeglasses and contacts. He has a busy practice but I don't need to wait more than 20 mins to see him. I bighly recommend him.

I was very fortunate to have found Dr. Sammartino. He was recommended by someone whose relative had just had cataract surgery. I was seeing another doctor at the time and was undecided about the surgery. After meeting Dr. Sammartino my doubts left me. He loves what he does, and he truly cares about his patients.

Dr. Sammartino is an extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and caring physician. He has always carefully monitored my eye problems, exercises caution when he needs to, and always answers any questions I may have. My mother was also his patient, and he always took his time to thoroughly explain anything I needed to know to take the best care of my mother. I give Sammartino my highest recommendation. Even after moving, I still drive an hour to continue to see him.
