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.

Dr. Erika Wandel is a wonderful doctor who listens and explains everything that is happening and might happen in the future and how she can help. The staff is courteous and the facility has been remodeled so it’s really nice. The wait time is a bit long up to 30-mins.

Inefficient. Didn't listen when I complained I was in pain. Really seemed distracted. Unsafe.

I was extremely nervous about having cataract surgery. Dr. Wandel outlined in great detail the steps that take place during the cataract procedure. After numerous questions about the surgery itself I was very happy with her responses. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is anxious, nervous, and fearful about having cataract surgery. She is very pleasant to talk with , very calm, and puts you at ease. Because of her I now have a better quality of life, for which I am grateful.
