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.

Comprehensive Specialist Phenomenal Communicator
Dr Oliveira is gifted at his specialty - ophthalmology and neurology. What stands out about his medical care is not just is expertise but his manners and comprehensive assessment of the patients understand his care. I would recommend him to individuals needing the expertise in his field. His staff is also great, even though there have been staffing changes the standards have remained. There is no roaming in his care he's direct and will guide you through what is taking place,; good or bad.

Excellent physician
My entire experience with Dr. Olivera and his staff was excellent. He was very knowledgable and knew exactly what was going on with my eye. He was responsive to all questions, friendly and spent as much time addressing my concerns as I needed. His office staff was wonderful as well. I'm really impressed.

Effcient and knowlegeble
Fellow Erin Lanzo did initial exam and was wonderful. Dr Oliveria rechecked her findings and was professional and kind but seemed a little distant.

Unprofessional
Scheduled an appointment which he and his office canceled on their own and never called to reschedule. This guy will waste your time with his unprofessional behavior. I’d rate 0 stars if I could

A superb neuro as-opthalmologist
I was referred to Dr. Oliveira by my regular ophthalmologist after finding damage to my optic nerve. Dr. Oliveira is in great demand and I had to wait for over a month to get an appointment. It was worth the wait. He is warm, professional, knowledgeable, and caring. The same can be said of the technicians on his staff. The entire visit took two hours but I never was kept waiting.

Lacked Empathy, Unresponsive, Indifferent
Medical doctors like him should not enter medicine because they don't have any empathy for the patient. He was extremely unresponsive and indifferent towards my symptoms. Do not go to him for anything, find a better doctor.

I was a patient of Dr. Oliveira until he rec a specialist for my type of problem which differed from his speciality. He was so thorough..so capable...so open to questions...never felt he was in a rush and his manner was warm and welcoming.

Dr. Oliveira was very knowledgable, understanding and listened to my concerns thoroughly. He took the time to explain the diagnosis and I did not feel rushed or anything like that at all. The other staff members were also nice and I would feel comfortable recommending him to my friends and family for their eye concerns!
