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 Verstraeten is one of the most amazing physicians I’ve ever dealt with. His knowledge and confidence is very reassuring and made a very stressful eye issue go as smoothly as possible. He is what makes physicians special people. His entire staff was amazing as well. Thanks

Very kind and professional
Scheduled retina surgery on a Saturday evening after an ER visit while traveling. By the time I returned home on Sunday the coordination was complete. Met Dr Verstraeten moments before surgery and instantly felt better. A very nice person yet very professional.
