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.

Both my husband & I have been patients of Dr. Walgama since moving to Longview in 2017. We both couldn't be more pleased. He takes time to listen & answer questions. Although wait times have occasionally been longer than half an hour, we are still pleased. He treated my husband's glaucoma as well as perform cataract surgery on him. I recently has laser procedure in on eye for my glaucoma. We both recommend Dr. Walgama.

I’m 84 years old and he and his staff are extremely rude. I do not recommend him. He is not a good doctor and he does not deal well with elderly patients. Both times I saw him I had to wait over two hours and was very condescending.

He and his staff are very rude. He keeps you waiting for hours and let’s you know his time is way more important than yours. He is very arrogant without reason as his reputation in town is not good.

Dr. Walgama & staff were a Godsend to me. I had put off surgery for over 2 years, afraid my eyesight was hopeless I was extremely nearsighted & farsighted & now cataracts.Getting worse every month. Now I see perfectly! No lie. GOD bless you Dr. Walgama & staff.

He has no bedside manner and doesn’t explain anything. Will not take time to explain what to expect or address concerns.

Had cataract surgery. Very good Christian doctor who prayed with me before surgery began. I had no bruising and no pain and by the time I left the hospital, I could already see so much better than before I went in. His entire office staff was very professional as well. They all explained each procedure and what I was to expect. I did not have to wait long for an appointment for consultation nor for the surgery. I feel so blessed by this entire experience.
