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. Barry Gaffney has been my one and only eye doctor for going on 38 years! He is understanding, informative, honest, and kind. He cares for his patients and it shows.

Dr Barry Gaffney
Staff are always very cheerful and helpful. Dr Barry is very thorough and explains what he is looking at and why. If I have had any problems I’m always able to get in the same day. I have referred friends and relatives to this practice.
