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.

My husband & I both had Dr. Uyermua preform cataract surgery on our eyes several years ago. We both have 20/20 vision. Neither of us have had problems. I highly recommend this fine surgeon. Joan, Wray, CO

Poor customer service, the front people are so confused on what's going on. Had a glasses prescription made and the prescription was off(acceptable human error) but was then told by receptionist Stephanie that it wasn't a error on there part it was whoever I had made the lenses error. So I take my glasses back to where I had them made to found out it's not the lenses its the prescription. After going back to Dr where I got the prescription Stephanie told me she gave me the wrong message and that it was in fact there error and wasn't the place I got my lenses made from. so then I was told by Stephanie I had to schedule to return to adjust the prescription. On the day to get them adjusted, Stephanie checks me in but then I waited about a hour to be told by ana I wasn't on the schedule. I explained the whole situation to her because she was confused on why I was there in and then said Stephanie was new but that's no excuse.

Excellent surgeon. My wife had cataract surgery on both of her eyes by Dr. Uyemura. She now sees 20/20! Cannot ask for better results. He was patient with all our questions and clear in his explanations. His clinical staff was very kind and helpful. We felt very satisfied with our experience.

I Love Dr. Uyemura, he has been my son's eye Dr. since he was 2. I Received a call from a collection office today that I had an unpaid bill with Dr. Uyemura's office from 2015. My Insurance company accepted the claim then rejected it 8 months later. I was just in their office in October and nobody mentioned it to me. The bill was for $105. Now I have a ding on my excellent credit score! I'm so frustrated right now, all over $105. Great Dr. Bad Procedures!
