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.

Dr B. takes the time to listen to you. I was very impressed that he sent out for extensive testing so that he could pinpoint the issue(s). Dr. B. found the reasons for some of my health issues that the other doctors (pill pushers) couldn't find. I would recommend Dr. B. in a heartbeat!

I found Dr. Backenstoes through a friend of mine. From the moment I set foot in the office I felt I had found what I was looking for. During our appointment he took his time, never rushing me or making me feel like I was just more money in his pocket. He cares. He did testing on me that none of the other million Doctors did. He found things in me that were causing my pain, lack of energy, depression and on and on. There isn't enough space here to tell you what he had done for me!!! Please, call
