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.

Worse doctor I never been met, stay way from him,
Dr Monroe is the worse doctor I never been met, I went to office complaining about headaches, which I was think maybe I needed a eye glasses prescription He examined my eye and told me I need cataract surgery and lenses replaced, he schedule the surgery for the week fallowing, which I told him I couldn’t have surgery because I had trip, I argued with him why he want to do sugery so fast at the first visit, he answered was because the amount of cataract into my left eye, which what he said wasn’t true because I could see and reading very well with no glasses, he didn’t asked me to get a second opinion He scheduled it for the first week I came back, the sugery was done at Coral Spring facility, The surgery was disaster, he tore my retina, as didn’t removed the entire cataract left pieces of it inside the eye and placed the lenses over it, which 28 after sugery I still don’t see nothing, So I found the retina doctor and I got the second surgery done and I still recovering,

to "dilate" her eyes, which took 3 days (!!!) to finally wear off! His "rapid diagnosis" was to schedule immediate laser eye surgery to fix a "hole in the retina of her one eye. We were more prone to delay this procedure, and obtain a 2nd opinion, which we did! Was asked two times by this doctor's office if we wanted "to re-schedule the laser eye surgery, as Dr Monroe just getting a laser machine for just one day." Why was a medically qualified Ophthalmologist in such an all-fired rush to schedule a laser eye surgery, which he, himself, said "in no emergency?" We decided to scrap this plan, and get another doctor's opinion, and I am eve go grateful and thankful that we did. The second Ophthalmologist found no "hole" in either of my wife's eyes, and Dr. Monroe "failed to attribute high eye pressure numbers to cornea thickness." If you care about your eyes, dio yourself a big favor, stay far away from this Ophthalmologist at all cost to your eye health. If I could, I would give him
