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.

O man. This guy is a major disappointment
I VERY WELL remember this fellow examined my eyes when he worked at ProOptical Boston. He was in a rush. He was rude. He didn't even check my eyes completely and the power he checked was wrong. I do not think he remembers any of the optometry courses he took in his school centuries ago. Avoid this guy by all means

I love Dr. Smith! I went to an optometrist who panicked when he saw my corneas and referred me to an ophthalmologist. The ophthalmologist panicked also. A second ophthalmologist (a specialist) said "absolutely nothing to worry about - you have MAP DOT fingerprint, basically bumpy corneas". Went to Dr. Smith for glasses and he IMMEDIATELY recognized the condition. He did not disparage his colleagues, just faulted a general lack of training. I saw him for years afterward and he was great. The consummate professional. I only wish he wasn't so far away. Condescending? Obviously in his medical capacity Dr. Smith caught someone in some sort of fabrication and gently but firmly called them on it, as intelligent people frequently do.
