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.

very thorough and empathetic, he explained everything he was doing, called the next day to check on my eye status, absolutely trust this doctor with my eyes!!!

A gem
Dr Backes is the most thorough dr I’ve ever had. He takes his time with you and double checks everything then explains what and why so you know what’s going on and why it’s important. I’ve had eye doctors in the past rush me in and out and I left wondering if I was even getting the right prescription. You won’t feel that way with him.

He can come off a little surly and cranky at times. Anybody sane would after X amount of hours spent in a Walmart. Look past that. He is very careful and thorough, and he performed the best eye examination my wife and I have ever received. A very competent and professional Optomitrist in a world where that's becoming very hard to find. I highly recommend.
