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.

A rare gem
One of the kindest, most patient doctors I have ever known. Even when he is super busy, he never rushes his time with you. Knowledgeable and well spoken, always explains things without talking down to you.

Never called back
I called, was told to get a referral. Did so. Didn't hear from Avery's office. I called, was told my case was under review and that they'd call me. They never did.

Dr Avery has been my eye doctor for more than 10 years. Because of him I have good vision.He takes a conservative approach to treatment and in doing so is often able to avoid invasive procedures. He explains things as well as includes the patient in the decision making process. Bottom line - he's the best!

Dr. Avery performed bilateral cataract surgery on me. He is wonderful as a doctor and person. I must admit at first I was very rude, insulting and generally not nice. Dr Avery was professional, kind and very proficient with me and my care. Thank you Dr. Avery. You helped to restore my faith in doctors.
