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.

Amazing Surgeon!
Dr. Corey is an amazing surgeon. He fixed a macular hole and retinal tears due to a pickleball injury with a vitrectomy. He is quick and efficient, and I really loved his personality. Thanks Dr. Corey!

He’s awesome!
I got kicked in the eye with extensive damage to the point where I couldn’t see at all. I was going cross eyed as well and my pupil was huge compared to the other one, it was really traumatizing. He went over all of the risks and complications that could happen and I thought I wouldn’t be able to see again. He did a gas bubble and then a vitrectomy and now I can finally see!! I still have vision problems due to the extensive damage in the middle of my eye but it looks almost close to normal. He is so understanding and he answers all of your questions honestly. I would recommend him to anyone, he’s awesome!! Thank you so much for helping me through this tough time, I am beyond grateful!

Dr. Corey performed surgery to repair macular holes in both of my eyes. I am now able to read well with both eyes, and I am so thankful for his expertise.

Dr. Corey is great. He performed a vitrectomy and is treating my macular degeneration. He explains his approach and any risks, was so kind and reassuring in my surgery. I’m really happy with his competence and personality. I recommend him highly.

I went to Dr. Corey because my doctor was not in that day. I had just had RD surgery with an oil bubble put in my eye along with having cataract surgery a few days before. I had high eye pressure that day. Dr. Corey seemed to be rushing through my appt. without finding out the all details of my situation. He decided to extract fluid with a syringe from my eye to lower pressure which sucked some oil to the front of my eye. Now my decent vision I had is now messed up with oil that I have to live with until it is taken out which could be many months to a year away. He could have prescribed me pills and drops but he decided to go straight to this procedure without warning me of what could happen. If I had known I would have objected and asked for drops and pills first. I am just glad that this was not something permanent and it will be able to be fixed at some point but I feel like this doctor was just in a hurry to get me in and out without accessing what would be best for me.
