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’m writing specifically about the rude and obnoxious staff. They acted very unprofessional and disrespectful to my Mother. I am glad we decided to go elsewhere

True, I had to wait beyond the time of my appointment but as the saying goes-never cut off your nose to spite your face. The staff was extremely polite and helpful. The pre exam by the staff was thorough and explanations were given for all tests. Dr. Is friendly, and extremely competent. He inspires confidence. His treatment is conservative when possible. No hesitation in seeing Dr. Barna

After looking extensively for an ophthalmologist in the Hazleton area, I have found Dr. Barna to be an experienced professional, friendly and easy to talk to and understanding of patient's concerns. I am very satisfied with my recent visit to his office. All staff involved were courteous and friendly as well.
