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. Cary is very proffesional (as expected), spent time needed for me to clarify any questions I had. I used to have terrible headaches, I was diagnosed with narrow angles and to prevent glaucoma, He performed laser procedure on one of my eyes. I had one headache since the procedure which was several months ago, comparing having headaches 2-3 days in a row every other week. I am so greateful for his work and not sure what the experience is with others, but if I had to do another eye procedure, I would want him to perform it. As far as wait time, I used to get little upset, but because Dr. Carty listens and spends time to answer my questions (I always have lots of questions) I figured time estimated was prolonged because of it. The back office girl is very kind, proffessional and informative. I don’t remember her name, but she had a long hair, I would say she was hispanic (not that it matters) Kuddos to her and Dr. Carty

AVOID THIS DOCTOR! He did the wrong eye on my friend. I have seen him and he is dismissive - hurrying to the next patient. His hands are shaking terribly and I wouldn't want him doing my surgery. Having spoken to several other people who have seen him, they also agree, he is "slipping" and not good at all. Don't recommend at all! He has diagnosed every single person I know who has seen him - with glaucoma. Then he does a lot of expensive testing - and none of us has it! MONEY MAKING SCHEME!
