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.

Left me waiting 6 hours for cataract surgery .. one eye didn't go well and when I asked about it he said "you don't walk with one leg, do you". Nuff said!

WARNING!!! STAY AWAY FROM SPADAFORA!!! – Nov 01, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Spadafora?
Outstanding experience! Dr. Spadafora was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, respectful, and caring as was his staff. Both he and his staff took the time to listen and thoroughly understand my situation. Dr. Spadafora took a significant amount of time to explain his findings and help me understand them. Most importantly, though he could easily have recommended a variety of treatments, his plan was simple, inexpensive, and because of his thorough explanations, one I had complete confidence in. He also discovered and took the time to alert me to a previously undiscovered issue to pursue with my general practitioner. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

I feel the care and advice my husband received was predatory medicine designed to confuse and convince us to allow him to perform laser surgery. This after receiving a second opinion which agreed with all the prior eye care my husband has received.

They waited until I arrived for my appointment today to let me know that they no longer take my insurance, even though I made my appointment a month before, they had all my contact and insurance information and I have been a patient there since my cataract removal almost 2 years ago. Unprofessional and rude.

Despite an appointment taken a month earlier, had to wait over 45 minutes. When I asked when he would see me, received a vague answer. Decided to leave as was unable to speak to anyone responsible. Very poor customer-client service!
