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.

Management changed a few years ago which made a big difference. My wait time is short, and my exams are detail oriented. My questions are addressed; at other offices, I feel rushed. I also felt safe here as schedule is limited with no gathering in waiting room, filters in every room, with temperature checks and pre-screening questions for COVID. This office runs safely.

I have been going to DR.Tearse for two decades. I have found him to be professional, highly educated and involved in my eye care. Dr. Tearse discovered I was going blind when other doctors claimed i just needed glasses. I don't know what I would have done without his support in finding I have an eye disease that took my central vision. One must allow time for a visit, but the services are well worth it.
