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.

Retina review reveals reassuring remedy
Everyone at the eye care center was courteous and welcoming. The team took several eyeball pics and ran tests so the doc would have the facts before seeing me. Doc Pecen was highly prepared and explained what was going on in layman terms and reassured me about issues.

Treatment for Retinal Vein Occlusion
Dr. Pecen diagnosed my condition retinal vein occlusion during my initial visit. After a six-month follow-up, she realized that swelling had increased in my left eye. She chose to begin injections right away. She explained the procedure and what might happen if I chose not to begin treatments.

Amazing excellent skills - office is long waits
Dr. Pecan fixed a hole in my retina. Surgery was great, easy, didn't even know she was operating. Already getting vision back. Her office is poor communication. Called in a prescription, didn't tell me - had the pharmacy not reached out, I would not have known. Wait time 1.5 hours before visit.

Excellent Service
I am being treated for an on-going serious eye condition. The treatment and counsel I've received from Dr. Pecen have been outstanding. She is thorough in her explanations regarding the treatments, takes time to ensure that I am informed, and answers any questions I may have.

Dr. Pecan - wonderful doctor
Dr. Pecan is an awesome doctor. She has such a calming personality. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and can explain things so I could understand. When I was told I would have to have shots in my eye I could feel my blood pressure start going up. All I had ever heard was how much this type of procedure hurts. She came in, explained everything she would be doing and promised me it wouldn't hurt, just a little pressure. After having had several monthly injections, she has never hurt me. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Pecan!!
