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.

Right now we are sitting over an hour in his office.... again!! There are ten workers hanging around doing nothing ... and ten people waiting on the doctor!!! Why does he schedule ten people an hour???? Our appointment was at 11.... shouldn’t be this backed up already. Every. Single. Time ?? We will not return for the second cataract

I would not recommend. I waited almost 2 months for an appointment(new patient) waited over 2 hours(insane) to see the doctor. I had a weekday morning appointment. I informed staff that I had another appointment and she just shrugged her shoulders. No explanation no information what is going on. Terrible unprofessional. I will never return

My Father had cataract surgery by Dr Swerdin 18 months ago. My father complained of scratching in the eye after surgery. Swerdin sent him to a retina specialist (Dr.Kiernan) that he saw for a year. Neither doctor could see a stitch left in the eye from the cataract surgery. We went to a different doctor after 18 months and he found the stitch in 30 seconds.
