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.

Not happy with the visit
Inpatient, arrogant and self absorbed. Seemed annoyed with me being there. Next time will try another doctor at that location or better yet another practice altogether. Not my first encounter but not coming back to see this guy.

He was able to diagnose what my daughter had and start the process into what the would be the plan moving forward if he hadn’t she most likely would have lost her eye sight . I’m thankful she’s very young although a serious diagnosis it has treatments and I am grateful for his quick action and explaining how to proceed.

Inadequate exam; did not explain well
I had been having significant visual problems, worsening over few months. Seen for "annual" visit . . . did not even dilate my eyes. Gave me a glasses prescription that absolutely did not help at all. Still not sure what is going on with my eyes!!

Rude, obnoxious, impatient, and very full of himself. Doesn't read your chart before seeing you—and gets things wrong. This guy is nothing more than a mechanic—but you'll get better treatment, information, and care from the guy who works on your car.

A Mechanic—NOT a doctor – May 15, 2021

Needed cataract surgery in both eyes. Everything was explained to me in advance and he was not condescending, as stated in a prior review. Totally professional and caring. He has an excellent staff.

Seemed fixed on putting in the lens He thought best, rather than what was best for me. Misleading in his information/communication about lens implant for cataract surgery. Brusque, condescending and unpleasant manner.
