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.

I had an eye injury in 1986. The center of my right cornea was sliced open by a stick. Dr Fried performed emergency repair surgery that night followed by cataract removal surgery and many office visits. Now, 32 years later, I still have relatively good vision with that eye and am still greatfull for everything he did to help me! I would recommend him to everyone!
