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.

Brilliant gifted retina surgeon
Dr. Keithahn saved the sight in my right eye by performing vitrectomy surgery for a retinal detachment. She is very gifted surgeon who explains everything to a patient in detail. I will continue to see her for my eye care now and nto the future.

Would not wish on worst enemy
This was the worst medical experience I have ever had. She gave a horrific prognosis based on inaccurate information. Despite my PCP and cardiologist giving a much better prognosis, she doubled down. I spent five days thinking I was dealing with a terminal condition. It was so traumatizing and unnecessary. I saw a different retina specialist who did almost five hours of testing and visiting compared to her not even one hour and came back with a much different prognosis. It was not life threatening in any way and even the prognosis for my vision was better than what she had shared. This retina specialist's consideration for my condition included things about my history that she refused to give attention to when I attempted to share. He explored other avenues based on this and came to a much more reasonable understanding of what had happened and what I needed to do. My cardiologist's office had strongly encouraged me to see a different retina specialist based on her inability to hear any

Great Experience
She took the time to explain everything. I was worried about flashes and floaters and she allayed my concerns.

Professional retina care
Had a retinal tear and hemorrhage last year and this was a followup. There is a system to getting you in, vision tested eyes dilated pictures taken, area to wait and called to exam room, procedures dome and you are out with information and appointment. Very pleasant area, very pleasant staff

I found her attitude to be very condescending. She never gave me an explanation of what the other symptoms were with my eyes and another doctor found a different problem that when treated cleared up my vision problems.
