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.

I needed to have this surgery to improve my vision. The surgery went well and I didn’t get black eyes and there was never any pain to speak of. Highly recommend.

He wore his mask below his nose the whole time while within inches of me. Glad I had mine on at least. I am getting a new eye guy.
