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.

Excellent results from eyelid lift!
Dr. DeBacker was highly recommended by several friends for eyelid lift. I can see why. He did beautiful surgery on both eyelids. Also had fatty pockets undereye taken care of. Absolutely no pain during or post surgery. He responded immediately to questions I had a few days after surgery. Have received many compliments. He has a very professional, kind staff. I definitely recommend Dr DeBacker.

Dr. Debacker took care of my eye problem. The wait was worth it. I wish I had found him years ago when I first started with the problem. I no longer feel a pebble in my upper eyelid! The staff was wonderful. Thank you José, David and Pauline for your outstanding customer service. To Dr. Debacker so very grateful to you. Verónica Gaitán Bagheri

Upper and Lower eye surgery.
I went to Corpus Christi for my initial evaluation with Dr. Debacker. . I then went to San Antonio for the surgery. with him. I needed the help and I was very pleased with the outcome he gave me. The staff was wonderful every step of the way. 'I just love my new look and feel much more confident about my appearance.'

I highly recommend Dr Christopher DeBacker
From my first visit with Dr DeBacker I recognized that I would be in good hands for my eye lid surgery. He didn’t try to over sell me by saying I wouldn’t be happy if I didn’t get a brow lift too (as another doctor had said). He answered all the questions I had and did not rush through the initial consultation. I am extremely happy after 10 days of recovery. The South Texas Surgical Center was outstanding. Their staff was friendly and efficient. Together with the doctor I had a great team.

Eyelid surgery
Dr. Debacker did a marvelous job to restore the positioning of one of my eyelids.After a thorough investigation had been done, the required surgery was a'snap' for me as patient. I had great difficulty reading before, and have finished two books in the 3 weeks that followed. I highly recommend him and his staff.

Dr. DeBacker reconstructed tissue on my lower eyelid through some complex microsurgical procedures for which he is known to perform with delicacy and precision. In pre- and post-operative examinations and on the day of the procedure, I found Dr. DeBacker to be a precise and clear communicator. I dreaded the surgery itself, yet I was very confident in Dr. DeBacker's training and specialization. I feel he is exceptional, a highly skilled, composed, articulate and compassionate surgeon.

So Glad I had THIS Dr. do my surgery. – Apr 19, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Debacker?
My droopy eyelids were interfering with my vision. Dr DeBacker did surgery on them.... 28 minutes of IV sedation at a free standing, very clean surgical center. They made a return appointment at the time they made my surgery appointment and the stitches were removed. Very little bruising, just some swelling of my eyelids. Can’t imagine an easier or more life changing surgery. My vision is greatly improved and I felt very safe during the entire process. Only had a couple of “down days” after surgery. Very nice and competent office staff as well. Highly recommend Dr DeBacker.

I have seen Dr. four times and each time I find him comforting and knowledgeable. He reconstructed a small area under eyes were I had a basal cell carcinoma removed. I would highly recommend him and his staff. Normally you are in the procedure area fast and have very little waiting time back there. 3 months after there reconstruction there is barely any evidence of any surgery.

Dr. DeBacker was recommended to me by another physician and he is highly regarded as an expert in his field. I found him to be very reassuring and personable. He took the time to answer my questions and fully explain the issues I was experiencing with my tear ducts. I found his office staff and medical assistants to be very helpful and my surgery and follow-up office visits have been great.
