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.

Lupus
Never met a eye doctor being so thorough but he is aware of all my other health conditions. With lupus being one of my autoimmune diseases. Dr. Scothorn has always made sure how frequently he checks my eyes. If you’re looking for an awesome optometrist he’s the one you are looking for even for competitive sports like shooting. He will make you a pair of glasses for this type of sport.

I am very pleased with Dr. Scothorn. He went out of his way to get the drops I needed when the pharmacy did not carry them. I recommenced him to a lady the other day, she was having so much trouble with blurred vision and said Dr couldn't seem to do anything about it.

I have been a patient of Dr. Scothorn for many years. He has always presented with a caring spirit and a professional attitude. He not only is very thorough with his examinations, but makes sure there is follow up care. I would not hesitate to recommend him for anyone’s eye care.

Dr scothorn did a great job of advising me 0n my borderline glaucoma condition. He spent time with me showing me the scans and pictures of my optical nerves,etc - and how this supports the poisition that i am ok now. And prescribed a recheck in 6 months to monitor this. I was very relieved after this visit, and was very worried before i came in. I thank dr scothorn for his expertise, and taking the time to provide thorough explanations. And also being sensitive to my heightened concerns.
