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.

Great Doctor - Top Notch Care
My husband came to Dr Nezgoda with an unexpected detached retina. He was able to save his vision thanks to his expert diagnosis and care. Without his medical expertise, my husband would be without vision in his right eye. Thank you Dr Nezgoda!

A surgeon's surgeon
Dr Nezgoda was able to restore my sight after I had a cataract surgery that left me partially blind. I did not know that there could even be a complication from cataract surgery. If your ophthalmologist is inexperienced -they leave the pieces of cataract in the eye and your vision is blurred forever. Dr. Nezgoda is kind, follows up in person, answers all questions and he is highly skilled-he saved my vision. He is a surgeon's surgeon - he is the one to go to if you have serious issues.

A Beacon of Medical Excellence: Dr. Nezgoda
Navigating a diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy was overwhelming, to say the least. Yet, from my first interaction with Dr. Nezgoda, a weight was lifted. His evident expertise, paired with an innate warmth, provided immediate reassurance.It's rare to find a doctor like Nezgoda who combines technical skill with such profound empathy. He took the time to deeply understand my concerns, distilling intricate medical concepts into easy-to-understand explanations. While his depth of knowledge is remarkable, it's his patient-first approach that sets him leagues apart.The dedication I witnessed in Dr. Nezgoda was reflected in his team as well — a group of professionals who managed to blend efficiency with genuine concern effortlessly. In an era where healthcare can sometimes feel transactional, Dr. Nezgoda stands as a shining example of what it means to care, both as a doctor and as a human being. I can't commend his exceptional services enough.

An Unexceptional Dr.!!!!!
Being diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy was a daunting experience. However, ever since I've been under Dr. Nezgoda's care, my eyes sight have transformed significantly for the better. His warmth and professionalism immediately set my worries at ease.Dr. Nezgoda doesn’t just go through the motions. His genuine concern for his patients is evident. He listened intently to my concerns, took detailed notes, and then simplified complex medical terms, helping me understand my condition and the treatment process. While his expertise is undeniably impressive, it was his compassionate approach that truly stood out.Dr. Nezgoda and his team are standout exceptions. Their care for my diabetic retinopathy was exceptional, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Really Wonderful Care!
I feel confident in this doctor. He was highly recommended by a friend of mine who is also a doctor. Retina had a hole and he fixed it. Really solid all around and explained it all to me. His receptionist Tammy was also super nice.

Terrible would be kind
My father has seen this doctor a few times, but never again. Describing this doctor as terrible would be kind. Shows up late, bad attitude and curses at patients and staff. Don’t think about asking him a question, he will snap at you. He needs a reality check.

Great eye doctor
Dr Joe Nezgoda is a wonderful eye doctor specializing in retina issues. I had some serious eye problems CRVO, and the treatment includes some delicate and potentially uncomfortable and dangerous treatment. He was very calming and careful and I have to say I have the utmost trust and confidence in his abilities and knowledge. I would highly recommend Dr Nezgoda to anyone with retinal eye issues and his staff in whose office Dr Nezgoda practices.

Saved My Vision
It is extremely scary when you go blind in one eye, literally overnight! The next morning, I was referred to Dr. Nezgoda by my ophthalmologist and he performed surgery within hours of my visit. My vision was restored! Knowing I have an exceptional doctor and his team working to keep me healthy is very reassuring and a comfort. I'm truly grateful for Dr. Nezgoda and the expert attention he gave me during that scary time and the care he continues to give me now.

LACKS PATIENT RESPECT
This “doctor” has zero care and concern for his patients AND EMPLOYEES! I was a patient for four months-too long!!! I went to Mettleman! I prefer a doctor that has time to explain patient condition and prognosis! I witnessed his rude behavior toward employees?!?!
