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.

Confidence
I was referred to Dr. Zeglam and I very pleased with him. Dr. Zeglam thoroughly explained the types of cataract surgery, the procedure, proper usage of eye drops, the film that might develop later and more. His office staff and team at Outpatient Surgery Center was friendly and helpful. I feel that he is a confident Ophthalmologist.

Great experience
Shawn at reception was friendly and helpful. Tech Emylin did my checkup so skillfully and with such friendliness that I felt totally relaxed. Dr. Zeglam examined me and gave me a wealth of information about several vision concerns. He took the time to answer all of my questions - no hurrying me along.

He was kind and polite talked you thru procedure and let you know what to expect. I had cataract surgery and the out patient clinic I went to, they were all so helpful, from the check-in gentleman/lady to the nurses and staff all the way out the door. Highly recommend Dr. Z and the staff in his office and the staff at Laser and Outpatient Surgery Center. So glad I had it done wished I had done it sooner. Thank you Dr. Z and Staff. God bless yall.

A Caring and Kind Doctor
Dr. Zeglam helped my young nephew through a potentially debilitating eye disorder when it had previously been diagnosed as untreatable by another doctor. We’re all so grateful for his extraordinary care and the way he gently pushed for an alternative approach that he considered worth trying. He was right and the outcome was fully successful. Highly recommend him.

Dr. Zeglam is experienced, extremely proficient and compassionate. He performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes and his skill was quite evident. I am so pleased with my clear vision. His clinical staff is pleasant and the team at his surgical center were kind, competent and efficient.
