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.

One of the beat
He was my optometrist for more than years. Only changed due to insurance and location. He is very professional and informative and was instrumental in helping me get my diabetes under control to help with my vision. I have sent several friends and family members to him over the years. He’s one of the best.

Great experience!
Dr. Backus "Roy" is amazing! He is great at helping you understand what's going on with your eye health and actually LISTENS to what you have to say. He is very thorough and doesn't hesitate to repeat part of the exam for verification. He was friendly and welcoming even though he was very busy!
