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 Hopen performed cataract surgery on my left eye several days ago. He is so pleasant, calm, and a fantastic surgeon. The operation was over before I realized. I experienced no pain, no anxiety, no problems after the surgery. The next day he examined me, and I had 20/20 vision already. The staff is wonderful, too. My surgery was at 6:00 a.m., and his staff were all smiling, very energetic, and friendly to the patients. I would recommend Dr. Hopen if you need an eye exam or cataract surgery.

I had my first left eye cataract surgery done by Dr. Hopen in 2014. I just had my right eye cataract surgery February 2018. I had excellent care from the time I made the appointment as well as during the pre and post op visits. Dr. Hopen and his entire staff made me feel beyond comfortable. I highly recommend Dr Hopen. I work for doctors and was referred to Dr Hopen by my doctors. I am 100% satisfied and will continue to have all future eye care with Dr. Hopen. Thank you Dr. Hopen!!

Worst experience from a doctor ever! After botching up a simple cataract procedure I was left blind until two emergency procedures were performed by a retina specialist. Still experiencing pain from Dr. Hopens botched surgery.
