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.

New to the area. Have an emergency eye condition. because I am a new patient, earliest appointment they would give me was 3 weeks away. was told to call around to find someone who would see me. is this the way to treat an emergent patient?

Dr. Digaetano is extremely caring but at the same time she is incredibly skilled. I had some special problems with the unusual shape of my eyeballs and the flatness of my corneas but she made the appropriate adjustments. Now I see great following my cataract surgeries. I highly recommend Dr. Digaetano.

Dr. Digaetano was the first doctor out of three that finally diagnosed my eye problem. She explained everything clearly; plus her entire staff was very professional and courteous. I highly recommend this practice.

Extremely satisfied with Dr Digaetano and her staff. Cataract surgery went as advertised and the outcome has exceeded my expectations. I will be having her do my other eye in the future and I will be recommending her services to others. Thank you Dr. DiGaetano.

Dr. D is the greatest. Her personal interest in my well being is superior. She made the cataract surgeries a breeze. She has the most intelligent and skilled staff. The eye exam personnel are the best I’ve encountered. I am now paired with Dr. I and she is as good and personable. I’m looking forward to getting my new glasses

DiGaetano Cataract Services ruined my husband eyesight with her cataract procedure and then when he informed them something was wrong, they assured him everything was alright, but it was not and he had to undergo emergency eye surgery with another eye doctor to fix it. To add insult to injury they then sent my husband a certified letter dismissing him as a patient. ARE YOU KIDDING ME, how very unprofessional can you get?? If you care about your eyesight then FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR!!!!

Dr. Digaetono is the BEST!!! I have and elderly sister with mental health issues who she and her staff treat, and they are all very kind, gentle and patient with her. The service is always right on point and so accommodating. The Dr. is very efficient and easy to work with. This is the best office and doctor for any type of eye treatment needed and I would recommend them to anyone! Love, Love, Love them!!! I am not even a patient there and they fixed a minor issue with my glasses for free!

Fantastic Doctor. Did difficult cataract surgery on my 92 year old father who had a lot of health concerns and had not been considered for surgery for a decade by many doctors. He had no quality of life and Dr. Digaetano completed the surgery with no complications and he has his vision and his LIFE BACK. She gave him her personal attention all along the way. Her staff is stellar as is her surgery center and staff. I highly recommend her to everyone and know many,many people who do the same.

Very efficient, and she listened carefully to everything I said and addressed my worries very professionally. The office is clean and the staff is courteous and helpful. They are honest and don't try to up-sell you. I had already been to another surgeon who told me I needed $10,000 worth of extras not covered by insurance. I was very fortunate to have found Dr. Digaetano. I'll be going back for my second eye soon.
