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.

BEST in Bangor for eye surgery – Oct 16, 2023
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Wilbanks?
The visit was great and the left eye cataract went great but, I discussed with Dr Willbanks that I wanted the right eye to see distance like the left one so I would only have to wear reading glasses. When he did the right it was a reading lense so now I have to wear glasses for both distance and close up. NOT Happy !!!
