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.

retina reattachment surgeries
After two failed reattachment surgeries, Dr. Flaxel gave up on me with no future appointments scheduled. Very disappointing to say the least. Dr. Price and the rest of her staff, along with the staff at Longview Casey eye clinic, were all wonderful, very kind and helpful throughout entire time going there.

She is the doctor that all the doctors went to when it came to saving my eye. She saved my eye after a horrific injury. I would recommend her. However i hope you never need to visit an eye doctor. I'm unable to articulate the gratitude i feel to her.
