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. Thom is a doctor’s doctor, along with his professional staff at Eye Consultants of North Dakota and The Center for Special Surgery of Fargo. He spent ample time carefully walking me through a detailed and nuanced understanding of the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure itself - intraocular implant options for my cataracts. The surgical and post-op outcomes in both eyes met (and even exceeded) my expectations. From the first visit to the last post-op visit, his staff were kind, warm, helpful and patient-focused. I heartily recommend Dr. Thom and his staff to my own family and friends. Kenneth J. Fischer, M.D.

Dr. Thom doesn't seem to be very knowledgable, see Dr. Strinden instead. He advertised that he was does comprehensive ophthalmology, but when I asked him questions about my glaucoma he said I'd have to drive to Minneapolis to see a specialist, just to get answers! After being so upset by my appointment with Dr. Thom I went to see Dr. Strinden and he was able to help me and since switching to Dr. Strinden my glaucoma has significantly improved.
