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.

Best Dr I have ever seen
He assisted with the birth of both my children. He found my cancer and I am grateful for the all the years I had him as my family doctor. He saved my life bc other doctors insisted I had a cold, upper respiratory infection and was treated for those things for over a year. His attention to listening to his patient is what saved my life. I can’t thank you enough and I’m forever grateful for you.

Greatest Doctor you can ever receive care from. I follow him in Kingston and I live in Port Jervis. Now he is no longer in Kingston Family Practice. I have to find him because I will not see any other doctor there. He is very attentive and have no problems educating his patients.

Dr Back is one of the best doctors that I have ever had experience with. I do not believe the other comment on here about him. He has been my doctor for over 20 years When he moved to practicing in Kingston, I followed him even though I live in East Greenbush (over 60 miles away). He is attentive and listens to you as a patient and a person.

An allergic reaction to food; swollen face, hands, feet and limbs. Dr. Back stated it was not an allergy; it was herpes. I told him my allergies were severe. He stated again that I had herpes and my pregnancy - I should get rid of my child because “you shouldn’t have anything coming out of there.” I took the herpes test. He refused allergy medication. Next hospital, I was immediately given injections to stop the reaction & allergy meds. The herpes tests - negative; my son is now 26 and healthy.
