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.

I have a history of eye issues in my family. I love the thoroughness of the exam. The kindness of all of the different people involved along the way and the complete explanation I got. I believe that this practice is devoted to helping people who have not yet developed eye problems to stay healthy by alerting us to preventative measures we can take and reinforcing those.
