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.

Dr. Germer
The care I have received has been wonderful. The staff is competent, kind, and extremely professional. Dr. Germer takes his time with each patient to review their scans, compare them to past records, and answer any questions. Dr. Germer is gentle and thorough. I highly recommend this group.

3+ hours to have my eyes checked is completely unacceptable!!! If you schedule a visit with Dr. Germer, plan on spending at least half a day. There is no excuse for this with any doctor. This is my third appointment and it's the same every time.
