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.

Dr Chang is the absolute best. He did a Cornea transplant back in 2011. He is doing great. We just moved back to NY from NC. Sure hope we can find an eye Dr as good as he is. You'll not go wrong if you need a great eye Dr. Thanks so much Dr Chang!
