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.

I would highly recommend Dr. Ness to anyone.
He has gone above and beyond for my 4 year old daughter, I would sincerly recommend him to anyone with little ones. He's been there every step from her first pair of glasses to the surgery she had to have to correct her eyes.

Exceptional
A full two hours were spent carefully doing a very thorough exam and diagnosis. The staff was pleasant and caring. I plan to continue to go to this office for evaluation of my vision.

Wow!
My daughter had gone to a doctor near our home and was traumatized by the experience. After that we started to see Dr. Ness. He was knowledgeable, kind, and very patient with my daughter as she was not yet ready for the surgery she needed. After a few years under Dr. Ness' care she was eager to have the surgery done. The surgery was yesterday and Dr. Ness came and talked with before and after the surgery. Dr. Ness' experience, expertise, bedside manner, and sense of humor made him right doctor for my daughter and our family. I highly recommend him to anyone, especially if their child is apprehensive about surgery.

Great physician
He is patient, calm, and kind. He took the time to answer all questions, from both adults and our child. He is upfront and realistic with all expectations and very respectful. As a medical social worker I am very picky when it comes to doctors and I couldn’t ask for better from Dr. Ness.

Dr Ness is absolutely amazing. He genuinely cares about his patients. I’ve never experienced the level of care that was provided to my husband by Dr. Ness. I thank God for the knowledge, precision and care that he provided us with.

Outstanding care. Very complete exam and treatment. I'm new to this area, having moved from a large city. This care was equivalent &/or superior to what I received in the city. We are very fortunate to have him here in Brownwood.
