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.

Did cataract surgery on me and I am very unhappy with the result !He never took into account my astigmatism ! Left with poor vision because of his poor judgment and bad surgery! I would not recommend him!!

Less than satisfactory experience
Less than satisfactory cataract removal and lens replacement on left eye. Removal left a persistent haze and chosen (expensive) multi-focal lens did not allow for promised ability to read without glasses. Dr. Koplin insisted everything was OK and wanted to do the right eye ASAP. I found another surgeon who did a superb job on the right eye with perfectly clear vision and ability to see far and also read using same type of (expensive) multi-focal lens. I do not recommend. Dr. Koplin.

Superb Opthamologist -
Dr K performed my cataract surgery several years ago and still, my vision is excellent. I had no problems whatsoever after the surgery. He is an expert, gentle, kind and personable and I would recommend (and have recommended)him without hesitation.

He’s the best!!!” – Dec 06, 2022

I had cataract surgery a little over year ago on my left eye. Dr. Koplin seemed like he knew what he was doing, but he botched the surgery. It’s been debilitating. I still have to wear an eyepatch over that eye to read. He really didn’t seem to care afterwards, sort of washed his hands and said it was my imagination. I’ve seen four doctors since. No one knows how to fix this. This has been a disaster.
