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. Crane was thorough and did everything correct for my eyecare. I am sorry to hear that he is no longer with the Watertown Eye Center. Will have to find another doctor and probably not at the Eye Center. To many doctors have disappeared that I've been with.

I was seen by Dr Crane as I have other health issues that effect my eyes. He has gotten me on the right medicines and has listened to me during appointments and taken my concerns into consideration when planning for my future care. I would definitely recommend him to any of my family and friends who need eye care. Diagnosed my problem on the first visit and I am doing better already.

Worst eye experience EVER!!! Any Dr. experience for that matter!! My son had a severe eye irritation and was seen on an emergency visit on 5/23/16. My son reported after the appt that he barely said 5 words to him. He diagnosed pink eye and treated it with moisurizing drops only, no perscription. I called his office twice the next day and could not get a response over a 6 hour span. I finally showed up at the office and was asked to leave after experessing my dissatisfaction. NO PATIENT CARE!!!!
