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.

Simply the best!
Wonderful staff. Dr. Shetty is extremely talented and provides direct explanation of his findings.We followed him from Mayo Clinic years ago. Don't trust our eyes to anyone else.

Lose of sight
Dr Sheety is great, I thought my glasses were wrong but Dr Herron told me glaucoma is progressing so she sent me to Dr Sheety. He diagnosed the problem and immediately put me on a path to improve. He is super knowledgeable and friendly.

Outstanding ophthalmologist specialist
Dr. Shetty had been my eye care specialist since early 2011, shortly after my move from another FL city. My office visits take place at his Baymeadows East and Lake Mead Ave bldg, near I-295 and Gate Pkwy exit, Jacksonville, FL. There is nothing I can add to the posted reviews of this outstanding and very personable physician. He takes time to review with me all of the tests performed by his staff, and answers all of my questions. I underwent cataract surgery in both eyes in 2010, prior to my move to Jacksonville. I know I soon will require the YAG procedure. I have no hesitancy in undergoing this procedure, to be performed by Dr. Shetty.

Best glaucoma doctor!
Dr has been treating me for three years. He has performed several laser treatments for my glaucoma as well as cataract surgery on my eyes. He is skilled, knowledgeable, thorough and explains everything completely. He is also cutting edge with new treatments and procedures. I have been very pleased with his care.
