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 lens done in both eyes. I love being able to read a label again and to drive not afraid I will run into something. Best doctor ever. Very patient and explained everything, Answered all question and gave detailed information for the procedures. His staff is very nice and well informative.

Changed my life for the better.
He performed cataract surgery in both my eyes. Everything he said was accurate and it was a positive experience. The quality of his work is top notch and he is easy to get along with. He has a great sense of humor. I have been wearing glasses since I was 5 years old and now at 70, I am doing everything without glasses. I highly recommend Dr. Yaros.

Unprofessional and habitually hours late for Cataract Procedures. Barely spoke to patient, no real instruction given by him, and has been caught marking the wrong eye prior to procedures, Nurses had to correct him. Just awful.

Dr. Yaros put the wrong lens in my mother's right eye during cataract surgery. He corrected it by putting another lens in with the first one. She's legally blind in that eye now.

Yaros just isn’t a dr I would recommend to anyone I had a chalazion on my eye and all he would do is give me steroid injections for almost 6 months with no progress of removal. He sometimes seemed shady making me sign paperwork literally TURNING HIS BACK towards me with the paperwork without explaining what the forms were then turning around to hand me the paper where I needed to sign my name. He never explained anything just felt like I was always being rushed out. Please save your time and go somewhere else.

AWFUL! We locked our keys in our car and NO ONE behind the desk would help us. We forgot our cell phones and needed to call triple A. She told us to walk next door to the garage. My husband's eyes were dilated and no one answered at the garage. We had to walk down the street in cold weather to ask 7-11 manager if we could use their phone. Never again. Would not recommend as my husband still needs glasses and has scar tissue they haven't taken care of. Office equipment is dirty.

Dr. Yaros spent time with me not only during the visit but took his time to explain in layman's terms exactly what I needed to know. He also did a complete examination even though I came in for an emergency type situation. I believe everything he did was very thorough. I would recommend using this doctor to anyone.

Definitely do not use him for Cataract Surgery. The vitreous (jelly)from the back of my eye was allowed to leak out and I have a cloud of vitreous blocking my central vision. Furthermore he confused the power of my near vision, one eye with the other. I had wonderful perfect near vision. I could walk all about my house without glasses on. Now I glasses on to read my medicine bottles. Do No be confused by the score below, because it does not ask about his performance as a surgeon.
