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.

Great person and doctor
Takes time to explain things. Saw a difference in my husband’s md and suggested a retina specialist. Was able to see a specialist the next day who confirmed he will need treatment to help save vision.

Dr. Axelson is super!
Dr. Axelson is great! Last year, her quick action saved the eyesight in my right eye when she identified a very serious condition and set up the emergency procedures for repair surgery. This year in my annual exam, I made sure to thank her for her quick and positive action. Thanks again!

Eye exam
I had my second visit with Dr. Axelson for an eye exam and it was a great experience. She explained the condition of vision very well and gave me good insight of what I might expect in the future. I will be back for my next yearly exam.

Knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and thorough
I was pleasantly surprised at the care and support I received. I’m used to the Canadian health system so I’m not used to this health care system. The time it took for an appointment and the waiting time in the office was quick so I didn’t suffer with sore eyes for long!

Dr. Bridget Axelson Well what can I say? She is simply the best I’ve been going to her for about three years now and every time she was spot on I really appreciate that we get so much misinformation these days is good to know somebody that’s 100% genuine and also knows their job, I usually don’t but the problem is always wrong. We never take the time to say we had a good experience and I say good experience. I’m being polite. I had an excellent experience every time. Please keep up the good work thank you so much for taking care of my eyes. I really do need these lol thanks again.
