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.

The best eye doctor I have ever had. He takes time and explains things very well. He recommended a treatment to me that allowed me to literally get rid of my glasses forever!

Wonderful eye doctor – Jan 17, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Bastian?
I had high hopes. But three visits in and I still can't see the way I need to. Sure, I have a complicated case- one nearsighted eye and one far-sighted, with almost 5 diopters difference between the two, plus presbyopia, and a need to frequently shift between near, mid, and far distances. But, Dr. Phil basically threw his hands up. Surprisingly, my own research revealed potential options ($ is not really a limiting factor) that weren't offered or explained. One option was dismissed because one of his patients didn't like it (not a very big sample size). When I left yesterday thinking perhaps I found a solution, falsely told the contacts had UV protection, when they didn't, and then later realizing we had already tried an option like this earlier. I have a PhD in science. I get how this process could work, and even brought in a spreadsheet of my experiments, but those were basically dismissed. Little explanation of what we've tried and why it might work but didn't was offered. Frustrate
