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. Walsman has been my favorite doctor since he began caring for me 10 years ago. His bedside manner is just excellent. He listens and engages with me and my family. He is caring and very skilled. Friends of ours who had a highly complex situation came to see him, and he could do what seemed impossible. We love him and recommend him all the time.

Dr. Walsman’s office has some of the newest equipment I’ve ever seen. I have a long-standing complicated eye issue and have been to many doctors before. Clearly cares about patient health and providing their patients with the best level of technology and care.

We were referred to Dr. Walsman from our physician in the city. Dr. Walsman had trained with her at Columbia. It was difficult to get an appointment with him but it has been worth the wait. He has been just amazing.

Dr. Walsman is such a treasure. My mother and I were referred to him from our primary doctor for a second opinion regarding her need for glaucoma surgery. He could not have done a better job breaking down our options and the way in which surgery and care for her should be structured. We loved him so much we have referred most of our friends and family to him. And best of all my mother's surgery went wonderful. We were told by other Ophthalmologists that glaucoma surgery would be very dangerous but Dr. Walsman's skills help her do so well.

He took a look at my eye not more than 5 seconds may be and told what it is. That shows experience. It was a minor thing anyway, but his confidence in diagnosing it is fantastic.
