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.

My experience with Dr Cady was horrible! He has been my Dr. for a few years. This man is rude. He acts like he’s doing you a favor. What good is a doctor who really doesn’t care about his patients vision complaints or their feelings? I understand that anyone can have a bad day but even seeing this guy once a year has become too much.

Cataract surgery and follow up
Dr Cady and his staff were wonderful. Everyone was friendly and very professional. They answered all of my questions while I was in the office but most importantly when I left a message for a call back, I got a call back! They even saw me on a Saturday! I highly recommend Dr Cady.

I have seen Dr. Cady for a number of years with consistently positive results. He is polite, professional, and respectful. My vision is fantastic after cataract removal and lens implants.

Regular eye doctor referred me to Dr Cady for cataracts. Very COVID prep aware on all levels. staff was friendly with being officious. From start to finish [ I had both eyes done ] I was completely please with the entire experience. The surgical staff, the nurses, the follow-up visits -unbeatable. I highly recommend this surgeon

I went with a friend and the appointment went very well. Dr. Cady was professional and he took all the time we needed to answer our questions. He and his staff were very thorough and the visit was productive and pleasant. I would recommend him to any of my friends in need of an opthamologist. THANK YOU to this doctor and to his staff.

A neighbor had actually undergone cataract removal with Dr. Cady. He was thorough and kind at my first visit and I was immediately scheduled for surgery. The former practice I saw had told me no/kept me coming for what I view as unnecessary testing for over eight years. I just had the first surgery and it was very successful and you could not tell (also) that I had surgery. Very professional staff including scheduling and the surgery center nursing/anesthesia staff were wonderful. Five stars.

Horrible visit on 1/9/17 with dr Cady. Very unprofessional and very rude. His exact words were "I don't care that you see double, you are supposed to give that info to tech" - which we did - he then said " when I come in I'm done". Walked out the door and waved "Bye, Bye". We all were stunned.
