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.

Worst eye doctor
Absolutely 0 stars. I’m from out of state but had to get an eye appointment in while I was here. My glasses are broke simple fix was hoping they could just out a screw in for me and tighten them up and they wouldn’t even do that. Before I start my wait let me be clear. Dave a tech there is an absolute awesome man and is very helpful. Sadly he’s not the doctor so he doesn’t have final say. But anyways they do not accept or work with vision plans. They bill your medical insurance which I also have so I thought okay no big deal. My biggest reason on getting an appointment was so I can switch from monthly contacts to daily contacts. My job involves a lot of fumes around and to me it only makes sense to put a new pair of contacts in everyday instead of the ones that weee exposed to fumes. Dr goldfarb told me that wouldn’t even help and if I have dry eye which I do my only option would be to only wear glasses and that switching to daily’s probably wouldn’t even make a difference.

1 of the most incompetent Dr ever met. I had an infection near my eye & was reffered to see him. I had no pain inside my eye & no visual disturbances. So I was reluctant to go to him. I work in the medical field also & knew my body very well. All I needed was antibiotics, but instead of listening to me, he sent me to get a radiology procedure in the ER. The ER was packed when I arrived. I waited 2 hrs in the waiting room before I walked out. Went to an urgent care instead & treated with abx.
