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.

Our appointment was very quick and the staff was kind and allowed my husband and I to be together while the other had their exam.

Dr. Mercer is great. It took forever to get an appointment with her, so I saw 2 other partners before I was given an appointment with Dr. Mercer. I normally see Dr. Feilmeier, but was told I was not able to see him as he specializes in corneal issues & I needed to see Dr. Mercer as she is the eyelid specialist. I have had this eyelid issue since early December!

First appt with Dr Mercer
This was my first visit with Dr. Mercer & staff. Everyone was so kind! Their customer service was excellent. My appt was at 1:40 & less than 5 minutes waiting. All procedures were explained before performed. Dr. Mercer was very pleasant. I was referred to her by a friend, who held her in high regard. She was very professional, but also felt very engaged with my eye health. I did not feel rushed. My first visit was awesome & would highly recommend.
