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.

Reassuring and Knowledgable
I went to this office after I had sudden eye pain in one eye that made me unable to function normally. I went to a nearby urgent care and the dr there said I needed to see an eye dr bc she couldnt help me. I was worried bc my husband was out of town and I had 6 children including an infant to care for. I called the office and described what had happened and they said I could come in that afternoon. I got a ride and although I did wait for a while, I was thankful that they fit me in. Dr. Yanik wasted no time diagnosing my corneal ulcer and sending my prescription to be filled. He impressed on me the importance of following the instructions precisely (meaning I would have to use the 2 types of eye drops every hour even throughout the night, setting an alarm to wake myself) and that if the pain was not significantly better in the morning than I was to call as soon as the office opened to be checked. Thankfully it was much better and continued to heal over the next several days.

On March 18, 2021 I had a two hour surgery after which I suffered a corneal abrasion. When I got home after the surgery I called my Eye Dr he wasn't in but they gave me the name of Dr Yanik who is in their group and was seeing patients. I called and he had finished his patients for the day . He asked how quickly could I get there. He waited for me and I am forever grateful to him for that because Corneal Abrasions hurt a lot. He fixed the pain in a flash.

When I had a sudden serious eye issue I called a number of Phoenix Opthalmology offices. All tried to set up an appointment some time in the future. When I called this office they asked me to describe my issue. They put me on hold and then came back on and said Dr. Yanik wonders if you can come in right now? After nearly 3 years as a patient, I completely trust this office and this doctor.

Picked this location solely on geography, as I was paying out of pocket. Dr. Yanik and the support staff, technicians, etc. were all unfailingly courteous and helpful. He immediately diagnosed the cause of my recent vision loss in one eye due to a retinal detachment (that had gone undiagnosed during a prior 8-hr visit to a nearby ER), took time to walk through the imaging results and 'next steps', and arranged a consult with a retinal surgeon.
