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.

Fantastic. She performed my complicated cataract surgery flawlessly. I am forever grateful to her for restoring my sight. She is a marvelous doctor who listens to her patients and explains what to expect. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Dr. Lim inspires confidence with her extensive knowledge and calm demeanor. After surgery I have been told the other doctors can’t see where she made the tiny incision to replace the lens, it is so tiny and precise. A true miracle to be able to see again. Her practice is well run, and waiting is minimal— which was not the case at the last practice I used, and the reason I found another doctor (from a friend, who was just as happy). She also cost much less than the other (we ll known) practice.

Dr. Lim did not review my medical records and performed incorrect surgery on my cataract and lens replacement. As a result I had to have another doctor correct the error. She never acknowledged the error nor did she ever apologize. I would not recommend this doctor under any circumstances.
