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 found a fantastic surgeon. Dr Lautenberg is kind, caring sincere and most of all, a true professional who answers all of your concerns. I had no vision in one eye for over 3 years, and In less than 1 week post op cataract surgery the whole world has opened to me. I couldn’t believe how well I could see. What a truly amazing Doctor.
