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.

Awful experience - DO NOT RECOMMEND
I went to him to receive an updated Rx for my glasses and contacts after I moved to the area. He did not provide this to me after 3 examinations over a span of almost 2 months because he wanted me to keep coming back after he tried different contacts with me. I told him on the first visit which ones I liked using and that I have always used. He ignored that. He put experimental plugs in my eyes for dry eye (first time hearing that I had dry eye) and told me they would be covered by my insurance, which they were not. Each visit he tried to get me to take additional tests for my vision, which after I caught on to I refused to do any more. He tried to get me to come in for a 4th visit. I refused and after contacting him via email and phone, I finally got the Rx released to me, which was the same as my old one! His service is a sham just trying to get the most money. His assistant has a terrible bedside manner and his isn't much better unless you want to talk politics. RIDICULOUS

I always return to this clinic because the treatment and exams are thorough and the doctor is very detailed with his staff and the patient. I always learn about the health of my eyes from my experience here. I really appreciate the friendly and knowledgeable staff here. I love the fact that the employees are happy here as well.
