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.

Does not listen, hear or care about your problem and concerns. Rude, abrupt and condescending.

The reports of Dr St Claire being rushed and abrupt were true when I started seeing him a year ago, but he's improved lately, maybe due to this feedback page.

I just had cataracts removed with Dr. St Clair. Overall it was a very positive experience. Office visits were always on time, staff was always very friendly, & many precautions were taken because of covid. Waiting room & exam rooms were clean with chairs spaced apart for social distancing & surgical masks were provided. Dr. St Clair made me feel confident about having the surgery (he does a lot of them), was very friendly, and ALWAYS answered any questions I might have had. The actual surgery went very smoothly and quickly with no pain - I was fully awake! AND my vision is crystal clear!!!

Great experience with Dr. St Claire both times I’ve seen him. Thorough and took the time to figure out a diagnosis and treatment.

Dr St Clair is quite obviously an expert in his field. He had all the answers I needed and suggested a bunch of different things I could do to help my dry eye problems. I recommended him to a few friends and they said they had great experiences as well.

Two visits to Dr. St. Clair have been way less than disappointing. He is rushed, very abrupt and displays a total lack of care or willingness to listen or help me with my vision and eye problems. Very cold and disinterested. Not what you would expect from a Dr that cares at all for his patients. terrible experience.

Dr. St Clair was not interested in helping me figure out my problem. He was rushed and offered no solutions or willingness to investigate it any further. Suggested that I could "come back in 3 months if I wanted to". Did a "routine" eye exam, and sent me on my way. Not a good experience if you have anything that requires thoughtfulness or is not in his wheelhouse. I think he is probably ok for routine care only.
