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 surgeon, had both eyes done a little over 5 years ago, and have no problems. Dr Vander Plas did a great job on my eyes.

Kind & genuine person. Excellent experience with my two cataract surgeries. I was nervous about eye surgery, especially after reading the previous comment, however, for me there was no problem at all. No pain or even discomfort, & good results. Others that I know recommended him to me. I’m glad they did.

In recent months, Dr Larry Vander Plas performed a surgery on me per a cataract. My eyesight has been a nightmare since. During the surgery I actually felt the process and in my mind it was the worst 20 minutes of my life per the pain and duress I experienced. In his first visit with me after this surgery, he literally waked out of the room as I was asking questions leaving his assistant and I to look at each other in amazement. Dr Jeff had to come in minutes later to step in and suggest options
