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.

Condescending and rude.

I have been a patient of Dr Rosenberg for over 15 years. Without going into a lot of detail - He is the first Doctor who was able to look at my eye structure and not be concerned about glaucoma -- he explained what he saw and why others were alarmed. He runs a very busy practice and tries to see a lot of people - so he is rushed at times - but I find his knowledge well worth the wait.

I had a lasik procedure with Dr. Rosenburg 11 years ago. During my pre-surgery he told me I was a great candidate for the procedure and among many statements he made trying to sell me on it, one was that if I had "halos" while night driving they would ultimately disappear over time. They never did. I had to struggle with seeing for about 90 days before they decided performing it again. To make a long story short, I wish I had never gotten it done. A lot of miss-truths to grab the $4,800. BEWARE!

Dr. Rosenberg was informative, and right on the money with his recommendations. He performed surgery and the outcome was better than he predicted. I specifically liked his skill at communicating complex information and his problem-solving actions.

Dismissive of my concerns, felt like he wasn't listening to me, patronizing, seemed as if I (his patient) was the last thing he wanted to be doing, felt like he was barely phoning it in. Look at his other reviews, it's a common theme. Zero bedside manner.
