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.

Superb Doctor
God puts the right people in front of you in your time of need. I tore my cornea and had to go to the emergency room. Were Dr. Schatz happened to be near. He came and saw me and also discovered I had severe scarring behind my lenses. Which explained my decline in eyesight. After surgically removing the scarring with a laser I went from using a magnifier to 20-20 vision. I highly recommend him.

When I woke up the next morning after having the surgery I was amazed at my incredible vision. It moved me to tears that I could finally seen my alarm clock and read my phone without my glasses. The staff and Doctor Andrew Shatz at sight trust eye institute is the most professional that I have ever experienced. I can't say enough about my incredible experience and recommend this institute 1,000% for vision correction.
