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.

Expensive. Does not accept Medicare assignment.
Medically, the care was good. The office does not accept Medicare assignment of benefits, so each visit incurs an out-of-pocket charge. This was not clearly explained to us when we started going to this group of opthalmologists. If you are on a tight budget, chose an eye doctor who takes Medicare assignment of benefits.

Crazy Wait Times
I waited 40 minutes past my appointment time to be seen; meanwhile patients who arrived for appointments after mine were seen first. Then I was given several tests and then waited another 20 minutes until the doctor saw me!! That's a full hour a spent waiting for an appointment that I had for 3 months and for which I arrived 10 minutes early.

Once again, I am always intrigued by all the diagnostic machines that arrive in the office between my visits. There is routinely something new... the latest and the greatest... kind of an Ocular Disneyland full of profound information. Thank you for your thorough care.
