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.

Dr Dowhan takes care of my family and I, he takes the time to carefully explain the processes and the reasoning behind any issues and has been a wonderful family asset. My spouse had 2 surgeries and she was very pleased with the process and outcomes. EJ Ward

Extremely short time to get an appointment. Staff is very friendly & helpful. Dr. Dowhan is the best! Explained everything that was going to happen with my exam, surgery & follow up. He asked if I had any questions several times, so if I had thought of something after the initial conversation had taken place. I found him very calming & experienced. Also, he is very easy on the eyes (even after the surgery).
