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.

I believe I already did this but wanted to make sure I did not miss the opportunity to thank Dr. Goyal for such compassionate care.

Dr. Goyal and his staff were very professional, experienced and friendly. I was at ease from the beginning of my visits. Dr. Goyal answered all my questions and he and his staff spent as much time with me as needed. My eyes look amazing and recovery was faster than I expected.

Could not locate "Dutchess Eye Associates - therefore I'm doing my review here. This is the second time I've gone to Dr. Goyal for surgery and I am very satisfied with the results. Although I did have to wait a couple of hours - I put myself in the shoes of the other patient and realized that I could have been the patient with the complications so I did not mind waiting. Dr. Goyal was very calm and professional every though he still had one more patient after me.

Dr. Goyal operated on me for drooping eyelids. The surgery went exactly as he said it would and was virtually pain free. He took time with me to explain everything.. Dr Goyal and his staff were very professional and helpful. I highly recommend him.

I needed to have cataract surgery, and lucky for me, a cardiologist friend of mine, recommended D. Goyal.I'm so very glad I went to see him. Dr. Goyal is very kind, gentle and reassuring. I felt confident of his ability the minute I spoke with him. He performed cataract surgery on my right eye; the result is just wonderful. No pain, no side effect, just plain clear vision. The surgical center staff is very friendly and professional. I very sincerely recommend D. Goyal. Thanks much Dr. Goyal!!

My experience with the Wappingers Falls, NY office was terrible. I make an appointment to see Dr. Goal, and his associate doctor walks in. I took the morning off from my job to see Dr. Goal, not the other doctor. A phone call from the office would have been the professional thing to do, or at least let me know when I was checking in thato Dr. Goyal wasn't there.

I was to have a skin tag removed on my eyelid. His staff kept coming in and dropping numbing drops in both my eyes. I questioned why they were numbing both eyeballs considering I had an exterior skin tag on one lid. The doctor came in, looked at me and said "I think you are the kind of patient who faints. I want you to come back and put you under general anesthesia." What??? I immediately left! I went to my dermatologist who snipped it off without numbing it. No problem. Strange experience.

I was very uptight about having surgery performed on my eyes. The lid muscle needed repair and I knew no one who had this type of surgery to clue me in. Dr Goyal was recommended by another plastic surgeon who was honest enough to say he didn't do that type of repair. I will say that Dr Goyal put me at ease and his staff was friendly, patient and encouraging as well. The surgery went well and I am so pleased with the results.

After performing a delicate biopsy of a lesion on my eye, Dr. Goyal, very gently and compassionately, informed me that I had malt lymphoma. The lymphoma, as it turned out, was throughout my body. As a result of his consultations and cooperation with my oncologist, I've undergone four months of very successful chemotherapy treatment. I am very grateful that Dr. Goyal continues to monitor my progress and is involved in my cancer remission.
