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.

Dr. Yackey knows what she is doing. I trust her knowledge in taking care of my eyes. She also is very good at making sure that we understand our eye situation whatever that might be.

Have been seeing (pun)Dr Yackey for several years as follow up for diabetic retinopathy surgery. She is personal yet professional and skilled. I like how she maintains contact with my G.P. which never happened previously.
