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.

Glaucoma specialist I trust
Her knowledge as well as education and background in eye care specializing in glaucoma are impressive. She is a brilliant and caring physician. When first diagnosed with glaucoma ignored by an optometrist for a few years, I was terrified that I would lose some of my vision. Once I became a patient of Dr. Rao I realized with proper care from a good physician that did not have to be my outcome. I highly recommend her for eye care.
