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.

She provides a very comprehensive exam. She explains everything clearly and answers all your questions. Her staff is friendly. I highly recommend trusting your vision to Dr. Helfrich.

Patient care at it's worst...rude, unprofessional staff...main reason for visit was to perform glaucoma test but their equipment failed and provided no valid results...yet a staff member later blamed the patient for the failed test...leaving patient confused and lacking the necessary analysis...with no option to repeat the test or explanation why it couldn't be rescheduled that day due to its importance to the patient's eye health. Prepare for combat if you do question your treatment or the bill. Plenty of better options for eye care in the area. One Star is generous...
