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.

Great!!!
Dr Elhalis and staff made me super comfortable. In the past I have been opthalmologist phobic. No more! Cataract surgery was a breeze and all follow up appointments great. Answered all my questions and put me at ease. I would recommend Dr 100% to anyone. Even the scardey cats like me.

Dr. Elhalis was very nice and proficient.
My visit was two fold. The staff that I interacted with were very nice and thorough. But the entire experience leaves me thinking if I want to return. Almost two hours to get an eye exam. Not acceptable. When an organization thinks that their time is more valuable than mine is not the correct way to do business.. I spent atleast half of my time WAITING.
