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.

Excellent experience
Dr. Penrose performed cateract surgery on both of my eyes. My left eye was considered legally blind before the surgery. I now have 20/20 vision in both eyes. I highly recommend Dr. Penrose. It was a very positive and painless experience.

Dr. Penrose was recommended to me for cataract surgery independently by my optometrist and by a retinal specialist ophthalmologist I had seen for a detached retina. He got me in quickly, explained things clearly, and performed the operations (on both eyes, separated by a couple of weeks) efficiently and obviously very well -- I got 20/20 vision in both eyes the day after my 2nd operation.
