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.

Very pleased with the care during my recent surgery. All the staff were professional and friendly. Enjoyed Dr Hobson and his bedside manner. I felt confident with his expertise. Everything went as expected and will have him do my follow up surgery in a few months.

Office staff was friendl and wait time good. But was when the Dr. Hobson came in, was rushed and did not take time to explain anything to me, less than 5 min. Not a comfortable visit. Am looking for a different doctor.

Was told I needed eyelid surgery for widened vision. After surgery the stitches did not work out and became infected on both ends of of lids. Developed a grape size infection pocket that sent me to ER. Dr Hobson looked at it and sent me home with no antibiotics and I ended up in severe pain again having to return to the ER again because the infection spread through my sinuses. One eye also still drooped and was told it wasnt my lid..it was my eyebrow! But yet he performed lid surgery. Doctors at ER were shocked this eye surgeon never put me on antibiotics before scheduling me for removal of the abscess. Bedside manner is arrogant, uninformative, cold and he cant wait to get out of the room. I paid off my bill with a direct letter to him and 4 months later received another bill for the 2 seconds he looked at my abscess. This experience was very costly, agonizing and unproductive. I ended up with one eye brightly open and other eye still droopy. BEWARE.

He took about 3 minutes with my elderly mother at each appointment and made her feel very rushed and misunderstood. At her last appointment with him, she told him that her eye was still very sore almost 3 months after surgery, at which point he poked the corner of her eye in a rough, hard manner. When she said, “Ouch”, he said, “No pain, no gain!” How terrible. I’m not allowing her to go back to this animal.
