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.

Highly professional. Treated ocular melanoma after UCLA Stein Eye ainstitute didn't get it right first time with plaque radiation. Amazingly my vision in the afflicted eye is about 20-40 and still improving after completely covering the eye with a radioactive disk for a week. He literally held my hand into surgery, which I concede was helpful. So far so good. I highly recommend him, especially if facing a rare diffuse iris melanoma. Very thorough explanations.. First-rate.
