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.

Unbelievably poor experience as a new patient. In calling to set appointment based on a referral from my optometrist I was grilled by whomever answered phone as to what type of treatment I needed. No idea that's why I WAS coming to you. Terrible experience.

Please do not take your child here yo ANYWHERE else. He couldn't tell the difference between my 4 month old and my 2 year old. He didn't do throughough testing on my child just the basic after 2 er visits and a referral to him and said it's ok you don't need to follow up. Had to go to holland to find a competent eye dr. He is the reason my child has vision in one eye.

Dr. Hosner and his staff are very efficient and courteous. Procedures were well-explained and questions were answered completely. Follow-up was timely and thorough. I am thrilled with the results of the surgeries and highly recommend Dr. Hosner. He is a great surgeon with a full patient load, but his office runs smoothly and efficiently. My personal preference - I would rather have a skilled, busy surgeon than a less-skilled surgeon with fewer patients / more time on his hands.

The Doctors and the staff are very caring and always making sure their patients are well taken care of and the doctors have a great 'bedside' manner.

Office staff was very unprofessional. Very rarely did I actually get to see Dr. Hosner. I had two cataract surgeries and saw him the day of surgery only. The procedure and recovery were only explained briefly.
