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.

Wonderful
Dr. McCartney went above and beyond my expectations. He saw me on short notice at the request of my eye doctor. He did a thorough examination, listened and explained his observations. I left the office reassured and comforted regarding my situation. Thank you Dr.McCartney!!

Very impressed with his knowledge and his care. My specialist had let me lose almost all of my vision and Dr McCartney was able to give me back quite a bit of it. I always feel safe when dealing with him

Outstanding eye care available from Dr. McCartney
Dr. McCartney and the staff provided a thorough analysis throughout the exam, explaining all procedures and answering any questions. The eye exams were the most thorough I've ever experienced. I had full confidence in the eye exam results and recommendations. Extremely professional eye care is available through Dr. McCartney.

The best there is!
Dr McCartney is absolutely the best. He has always explained everything to me, and I also enjoy hearing his training of the residents. Not to raise your hopes too high, but he has worked miracles on my eyes. He says it's just routine, but it seems miraculous to me.

Smooth cataract surgery.
Every member of Dr. McCarthy's team was perfectly prepared to perform their part in preparing me for my cataract surgery and as a result everything went as smoothly as I could have asked for. Dr. McCarthy took the time to explain the options clearly and told me what to expect the day of surgery. Everything went very well as a result.

Eye exam
I am impressed with the extensive exams Dr McCarney preforms. He really cares and works hard to find a solution. He is also humble enough to admit when he doesn’t have an answer. Top class.
