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.

Great visits
The nurses are great preparing me for the Dr. He comes in, takes care of business, answers any questions, and leaves! A no nonsense Dr.

I have been using Frantz for my eye care for many years. They scheduled me with a retina specialist who was doing an ultrasound of my eye twice a year. I saw her until I was told she left the practice and I was scheduled with Dr. Plous. Dr. Plous was not personable, didn’t explain my condition, just told me I was fine, to come back in 10 months to a year. After my second appointment, Dr. Plous had not done an ultrasound for well over a year, so I asked about it. He scheduled me at a different location to have the ultrasound. At that appointment, after all the tests, Dr. Plous came in, he asked the tech where the ultrasound was. I said, “I came here for the ultrasound.” He screamed very rudely, something like, “Just give us a minute.” I said, “You don’t have to get nasty.” He said, “This exam is over, schedule her with Dr. Warrior” and he walked out of the room. I was dumbfounded. Apparently, this is a normal thing with this doctor. The tech did the ultrasound and connected me with her manager, who called the manager of the medical staff. They did bring Dr. Plous in to apologize, but it didn’t sound sincere. His excuse was that he has to see 70 patients a day, like that should make his behavior excusable. I suggested that he was apologizing because the “boss” was there. He told me that his position isn’t in jeopardy. That may be part of the problem. Frantz knows how he acts and allows it to happen. I will NEVER see him again and am working to find another eye care option. I sent a letter to the owner, Jonathan Frantz over two weeks ago, and I haven’t heard a word from him or his office. Apparently, they don’t care about their patient’s experience, they only care about raking in the money. I would never recommend Frantz to anyone!!

Dr. Plous is experienced and knowledgeable.
Dr Plous knowledge of my condition and his treatment approach and explanation inspired confidence. He is direct and answered questions thoroughly while showing care and concern.

Happy with Dr. Plous & company
From the moment Dr. Plous stepped in to greet me I knew I would like him. He is a straight shooter and I love that. He is thorough and gives an honest answer to any questions you might have. Also his assistant Shelby always has a smile for you and a warm greeting. I love them both.

Dr. Plous is technically skilled, but his patient handling ranges from brusque to rude. In several visits he was not just late but very late, for appointments at the beginning of the service period.
