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.

very comforting, experienced, put me at ease

I was originally scared to have the surgery done. But Dr Hirschfeld is so competent, my fears subsided. I am indebted to her for my excellent vision now! Love no contact lens. I highly recommend Dr. Hirschfeld.

awful Service
A routine exam should not take over two and a half hours! This is the fourth year in a row. Will be looking elsewhere for my medical needs.
