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.

I had cataract surgery and Dr. Oswald told me about the different
lens possibilities. My goal was to not wear glasses so I went with the tri-focal intraocular lens and have been extremely pleased Dr. Oswald was spot on with his recommendation.

Enjoy seeing Dr. Oswald as we have been working on which eye drops i need to fight my Glaucoma. Nice i can see him in Sylva instead of having to go to Asheville. Asheville Eye has really helped me. I actually see three different Doctors I also see Dr. Edward Isbey III and James Crandall. I am Blessed to have these three Doctors trying to restore my vision in my right eye after 42 years. I have vision they just have to figure how to get it out. Saw out of eye with contact about 5 months ago.
