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.

Cannot get in to see him
I tried to make a new patient appointment and his first available isn’t until April 2025.

BRILLIANT!!
So great! I scratched my cornea from wearing my contacts to bed. DON'T DO THAT!! Anyway, went from a scratch to ulcerations, very painful. Dr. Mccomisky insisted on seeing me every couple of days to watch my progress. Not over with yet, starting a new set of drops today. I was a nurse for 30 years am not sure that I've met another physician with a better, calming manner. Ironically, in talking to a friend last night, he highly recommended him as well, not knowing that was who I was seeing. He referred to Dr. Mccomisky as brilliant. The office staff was great as well!!

No issue with the doctor at all! The issue resides with a member of his staff. Her name is Chastity Drennan. She had continuously attacked a pregnant woman on social media, even going as far to wish death on this child, threatening to attempt to take this child, as well as creating fake social media accounts where she continues to berate, belittle, and make accusations she can’t prove. She also has made threats over the phone and in messages. The boiling point has been reached and I’d hope with this doctors stellar record that he and the other members of his practice would like to know and deal with the issues this woman has caused in someone’s life. Even more she is acting in this manner with his practices name in her bio. I hope that this will be rectified, and if there is need of proof for action to be taken I will have no problem providing it , without a doubt I will provide any proof needed to shed light on the character of Chastity Drennan

I owe my sight to Dr McComiskey. I had several “rare” things happen with my vision a few years ago. He recognized my problem, and immediately referred me to a retina specialist - and I saw them THAT day! Same thing happens to the other eye, within a month. Again, I was referred to and saw the specialist THAT day. He cares about your vision and he cares about you as a person. He listens and answers any questions, as well as explains your condition in an easy to understand way. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr McComiskey. He is the only ophthalmologist I’ll see.

Excellent doctor. Takes his time to explain your diagnosis. Willing to listen to and answer all of your questions. He quickly diagnosed my eye injury, and I recovered quickly under his care. I wish there were more doctors like him.

This is the best ophthalmologist I have ever been to. He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, uses state of the art equipment, has well trained staff, and methodically saves and even improves eyesite. He thoroughly explains eye issues, medical procedures, and medicine effects. You know when you've made a good choice.
