Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

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

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

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

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

20/20 Vision
Dr. Vinca is a highly skilled surgeon who thoroughly explains the procedure she will perform, answers questions and helps her patients make decisions that will affect their daily lives - she is not a “one procedure fits all” doctor and her knowledge, care, training, flexibility and skill ensure the best possible outcome for her patients. She clearly approaches each case as if it is unique even though she has performed that same procedure many times. Other physicians recommended her to me and they were right. My cataract surgery was life-changing - no more glasses at all, 20/20 vision, minimal recovery, and a very positive surgical experience. Who could wish for more?

Visiting Dr. Vinca has always been a positive experience. Dr. Vinca addresses your eye issues with patience and professionalism, and is personable. She can explain what's going on with your eyes and make you feel comfortable, can't ask for a better doctor. I've been seeing Dr. Vinca for several years now and would recommend any family, friend or neighbor to choose Dr. Vinca as their number one choice. I have stable Glaucoma and I believe Dr. Vinca has given me the best eye care available.

Dr. Vinca has been our family opthalmologist for almost four years now. She is a warm and caring practitioner who is genuinely concerned about her patients. She is very knowledgeable in her field of practice, thorough, and takes the time to explain to the patient the process, diagnosis, treatment, etc. in a compassionate and easy to understand way. Dr. Vinca is the type of physician who truly connects with the patient as a person and not just as a patient. I would highly recommend her.

Dr. Vinca has saved my vision and given me hope for the future. I trust her so much I have recommended her to all my friends and family. She has treated my glaucoma with great care for at least 7-8 years. With Dr. Vinca's expert medical advice, caring surgical hands, & Rx treatments my vision loss due to glaucoma has halted. Words cannot express my gratitude.

Dr. Vinca is caring and dedicated doctor. When I was having trouble with my eyes, she took me in IMMEDIATELY and found that I had a torn retina. She then directed me to a retina doctor, at once. Even the retina doctor said it took a skilled dictor to pick up the tear. That most doctors wouId havw missed it. I owe her my eyesight.

I have Graves Disease so I need an ophthalmologist who is knowledgeable, patient, understanding and a good listener. Dr. Vinca has all of those qualities at every one of my appointments with her. She makes me feel 100% confident that I'm getting the very best care, she answers all my questions and makes sure I leave her office feeling assured and aware of my vision status. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent ophthalmologist.

The time she takes to explain things is vey refreshing. Dr. Vinca performed my procedure successfully without complications. She scheduled necessary follow-up appointments to ensure the proper healing occurred after the procedure and made herself available for follow-up questions and concerns.
