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 don't like even routine exams and jump every time I have anything like drops come near my eyes, so surgery terrified me. Everyone in the office was so kind and reassuring and answered all my questions. Dr Griffin and his staff are skilled, kind and efficient!

Very professional!!
Very professional practice. Every single person I came in contact with was welcoming, friendly, very knowledgeable, and thoroughly knew their job. I could not have asked for a better experience with getting my cataracts removed. They didn’t push the other out of pocket, expensive lenses, which other practices did. I really appreciated that. I would highly recommend this practice.
