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.

A physician who is at the top of his game.
This is a doctor who is very happy with his work as a surgeon and has dedication to saving a patient's eyesight. Great bedside manner for a younger doctor and this is impressive today. He's truly dedicated to his patients. He cares about them as if he was from another time era of the great giants in medicine of an unfortunately by gone era of medicine.

Great doctor and surgeon!
I had a vitrectomy on Monday and on Tuesday my vision was 20-20. Had been living with this film over my sight for so long. It feels like a miracle. He is great!

Professional doctor
I get injections from my doctor every 6 weeks. I’ve had a couple of doctors since I’ve been getting this done for 8 years. Dr. Matsunaga is professional, accurate, and a delight. He takes the time to address any questions or concerns. He has a very light touch for injecting and I almost never get any bleeds.

MD dry treatment.
What usually stands out is the people at each station. Each person is friendly, caring, timely, and professional in their interactions with me. Dr. Matsuzaka spends time with me making sure I am properly 'numbed' prior to my injections. This past treatment I took a bit more time to recover from the injections. Dr. Did not seem rushed or concerned about my condition which was reassuring!
