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.

Fabulous and caring lady. Took her time with me, answered all my questions thoroughly, and gave great professional advice. She's great!

Might as well use Google
Uncaring and not interested in answering questions or giving information about the conditions being treated. Prescribed eye drops that were over $1,000 out of pocket. I gained more information about dry eye from a Google search.

Very caring, informed and personable doctor
Dr. Fernandez removed a cataract last year. I was very pleased with her professional ability and demeanor. She is caring, thorough, informative, friendly, and honest. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing eye care at MUSC. I was very comfortable with all aspects of the surgical procedure and the aftercare.
