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.

Wonderful doctor!
Knowledgeable, pleasant and gentle!

Great Doctor & Staff
I have been seeing Dr Gauthreaux for about 18 years. He is knowledgeable, compassionate & explains everything so I can understand what going on with my condition. Eye problems can be very stressful but he & his staff go out of their way to ease some of that stress. I feel truly blessed that he is my doctor.

My name is Veronica Duhon. I have been a patient of  Dr Gautreaux since 2014, when I was diagnosed with retina detachment to my left eye. Then again in my right eye in 2016.  I have had two surgeries since then. If it was not for the persistence, patience and care of Dr Gautreaux an his team during surgery and post op, I really don't know where I would be visually today.  Thanks so much and you get a 5 star rating.
