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.

It was a nightmare he did my cataract surgery. He was supposed to implant a lens with prescription that would correct my nearsightedness, but after the surgery I could't even see the biggest letter on the eye exam table without wearing glasses. Redo the surgery is risky due to the difficulty to remove the lens. When I think back, this doctor never went over the testing measurements with me and never communicated with me what kind lens he would implant into my eye. The exam date and operation date were more than a month apart, and he operated more than 28 patients on a single day. No wonder he could not remember my medical situations and what supposed to be the correct lens for my eye. I just see there is no quality in place for this doctor. He was not available for the followup visit. I guess he was afraid of facing me about the terrible surgery. Eyes are such important part of our body. I regret for the rest of my life that I chose this doctor for the surgery.

I went to the Rockaway office they told me my eyes did not change much and improved a little. I received a script where my cyl went from 180 to 010 in one eye I called and left a message Questioning the big difference no one called me back. Two weeks later my friend suggested that I ask if I could go in on Sat and have look at my glasses and the percription they gave me to make sure it is correct told me I would have to make an appointment and the next Saturday appointment is in three months
