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 donโ€™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. Backe has been my dermatologist since 1980. He always seems glad to see you and just has a way of making you feel better just by talking about what ever skin troubles you were having. He really seems to care about his pashients but the most important thing by far would be that he always knew what to do and resolved so many of my skin problems. I never liked having to go to the Dr. for anything but I was always was glad to see him
