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. Dickson is an excellent eye doctor. He has treated me for many years as well as my husband and my mother (deceased). He knows his business and goes the extra mile with his patients. Dr. Dickson explains everything so that you understand what's going on with your eyes before you leave the office and that also goes along if you are having a problem with your eyes. I also want to mention that Dr. Kane is also a caring person in the same practice. I would recommend Dr. Dickson to anyone needing an excellent eye doctor.

I won't go to another ophthalmology. Dr. Dixon and his partner Dr. Kane are the best. I would sent any one to them.

Dr Dickson is an excellent doctor. If there was another word above excellent I would write that. They don't come any smarter or caring than Dr. Dickson. My husband and I are VERY lucky to have found him and have his expertise taking care of us over the years.
