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.

A little late - but a great surgery
Dr. Speaker performed lasik surgery on me in Sept., 2001. I had an excellent outcome. I remember seeing clearly right after the surgery … eyesight I hadn’t had since 4th grade.I had large pupils and significant myopia and wanted an experienced , highly respected doctor. Dr. Speaker changed my life !

Unpleasant Suprise
Doesn't bill your insurance for Cornea Cross-Linking. Uses a UK Non-FDA machine that he bills you $5000 out of pocket. I maybe blind but saw right through this

Lasting results
Dr. Speaker was my eye surgeon 26 years ago when I initially had PRK on one eye and subsequently Lasik on the other. The excellent results stand the test of time. Happy to say thank you, again, years later.

Dr. Speaker has been treating me since 1990. I have keratoconus and Dr. Speaker has done an amazing job with my extremely temperamental eyes. After I suffered a traumatic eye injury in 2020, he came down to the hospital to operate, even though the surgery was late at night. I trust him implicitly and highly recommend Dr. Speaker.

Cancels surgery at the last minute. Gives plenty of valium with shaky hands. I recommend a retirement.

Very professional and courteous MD. He takes his time to explain risk and benefits of the procedure. I have recommended others who were just as pleased and who had excellent results

I was a very early patient - Dr. Speaker's office was downtown at the hospital and the LASIK machine was in Long Island! I have nystagmus, had high myopia and astigmatism, and was a complicated patient. Dr. Speaker was wonderful and, after 20 years, I am still amazed with his skill and kindness. I highly recommend Dr. Speaker. I moved from NY and wish he were still my doc!
