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.

Words cannot explain my experience it was just so incredible the way they tended to every one of my needs to make sure that I was being taken care of they pampered me like I never been pampered before.

Long unexplained wait, no apology (rather an excuse), and very distant behavior and tone.

Dr. Cristin McGee was a pleasure to work with. She listened well, was sincerely interested in me as a patient, was thorough in her work up, and explained what she was doing at each step. She discussed her findings and options very clearly and treated me with caring, concern and respect. Again, she is a pleasure to work with.

Besides being an excellent ophthalomologist, Dr. Tara McGehee is an excellent and clear communicator, and I learned so much more about my eye conditions than I had in the past. In fact, she gave me great insight into what had in fact happened to my left eye following cataract surgery at a hospital in Washignton DC several years ago. It was the first explanation I had been given that made sense. Dr. McGehee Is very thorough In her exam, thoughtful in her explanations, and presents clear options for improvement in sight. She is also very professional, friendly, and a nice person.
