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. Farris did not stare into his computer screen and check boxes to determine why I had a stinging pain in my eyes. He talked to me, read my notes thoroughly and completed a thorough range of tests. He explained clearly, not in a patronising or annoyed manner, but with courtesy and intelligence. He has the deep understanding of his subject which enables him to diagnose problems in simple and clear terms. I came away from my visit knowing what I had to do to ensure my speedy recovery.
