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.

Dr. Woodward is perhaps one of the finest doctors I have ever encountered, in terms of professional expertise and incredible attention to detail. He is also very personable during visits and goes out of his way to explain all aspects of his examination findings, conclusions and recommendations. I would very highly recommend Dr. Woodward to anyone seeking ophthalmological treatment.

I've been a patient of for over 10 years. When I first came to him I was having issues with inflammation in my eyes and it became difficult to see. Dr. Woodward not only addressed the underlying problem but continued to ensure this would not happen again. He gave me his personal number in case I was having any issues. Generally speaking doctors don't do that nowadays but thats what makes Dr. W different, he genuinely cares about all his patients. His heart is made of gold!

Dr. Woodward is the most caring doctor we ever met, He is the doctor who helped my husband years ago, for his blindness; he was still single at that time! Now we are married 22 years and Dr. Woodward still helping us. We followed him in Nyack and We are all under his care! May God always bless him.

For healthcare providers skill, passion, and ' patient centeredness', are most critical. I was referred to Dr. Woodward for an emergency retinal detachment. Though his office was closing without hesitation he saw me and repaired the damage. After 5 more detachments and surgery, I am recovering. Dr. Woodward is unusual and amazing and I would trust my closest family members to his care without hesitation!
