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.

Thorough and compassionate NPs and Doctor
Welcoming staff, effective and compassionate care, with a good treatment plan.

The office was very busy, but moved very smoothly. I had to wait about 50 minutes. That seems to be the way of the medical offices these days.

Great Doctor
I love Dr. Montesanti’s attitude and attention to detail. He did my cataract surgery which turned out great! This was my last checkup regarding the surgeries. He has a lot of patience with explaining everything. He also has a warm, welcoming personality which his staff has, as well. I highly recommend.

Eye exam with ECVA for cataracts
Dr. Montesanti was very professional, courteous and friendly. He provided me a thorough explanation and available options for my developing cataracts situation. The assisting staff were also very professional. I highly recommend getting your eye care at ECVA.
