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.

A Clinician with World-Class Bedside Manners
I have been Dr. Gindzin's patient for over a decade. Every time I visit him, he makes it a point to completely answer my questions and concerns. I never feel rushed when in consultation with him. Dr. Gindzin advised I undergo cataract surgery and he has been diligent in providing World-Class Care in a personalized and empathetic way. I hope he is back in the office. I haven't seen him for almost 2 years now.

The most important statement is that Dr Gindzin has saved the sight in my right eye and prolonged the vision of both eyes. The degree of technological experience required to successfully complete some of my delicate and difficult surgeries is second to none. He is not only respected by his clients but perhaps more importantly, his peer group of retinal specialists. Dr Gindzin must be your go to Dr for all things eye related. You are the best Dr Gindzin Ray D

Dr. Gindzin is very professional, caring, complete and wonderful. He has performed five successful retina surgeries (four in one eye and 1 in the other) for me over the past several years: tears, detachments and one hole. At one time I was completely blind in one eye. Now I am 20/20 in both eyes. He is a God sent!!! I can't say enough good about this man and have recommended him to to many, many people who have experienced similar results. I would NEVER consider going to any other eye Doctor. Thank you Dr. Gindzin and staff!!!

I had a problem with my right eye. I called the practice and they got me in the next day. Dr. Gindzin was busy with other patients but when he was told what happened to me he made time to laser up a tear in my retina. Can't say enough good things about this man.
