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.

I am very happy and satisfied with my experience in the field of ophthalmology, Dr. Dacanay Leonardo. He is the most cooperative and the best specialist eye doctor I have met in California. I thank him from the bottom of my heart for saving my sight. I was discovered by dancing in time with the diagnosis of glaucoma. I have recommended him to many of my friends.

I have Glaucoma and my eye pressure is 20 over 20. I had laser surgery in June, and after one month, my eye pressure is down to 15 for both eyes! This is really good, and the Dr. Dancanay is a very nice person! My mom usually goes to another Doctor in a different office, but I am so happy with Dr. Dacanay's services that I switched her over. Now she is a patient in the same office as me. Glaucoma runs in my family, my mom has it too, so I am very happy to have found a doctor who I can trust and believe in his performances. He predicts that the pressure will continually decrease, and I am optimistic with the results. Thank you Dr. Dacanay!

Dr. Dacany is exceptional. Along with cataract removal, he inserted custom lenses that were supposed to be good for about ten feet to infinity. Actually, I see well enough to read from infinity to fine print in decent light. Color vision is exceptional, important because I custom print color photography. His photographs of my eye interiors enabled him to determine that a blood vessel that might be a serious problem actually went away. He is energetic and personable with a great staff.
