Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Did absolutely nothing for my daughters glaucoma and blurred vision and blackouts. Then blamed her for doing test wrong. What a joke

Dr Rini was the surgeon scheduled for my first appointment at Eye Care to consider cataract surgery. He impressed me with his directness and evident professional knowledge. I was told that I could request whichever surgeon I wished. I reviewed what I could online, and stayed with Dr Rini. I am thrilled with the results. Both surgeries went smoothly, my eyes have had their sharpness and range restored, and the dangerous double vision in one eye is gone. Thank you, Dr Rini.
