Dr Kotowski is always friendly and willing to answer any questions even though they may have been asked before. He makes you feel that you are the most important patient he has. He is genuinely a great doctor and I have complete trust in him. His staff is also very friendly and helpful. Thank you for all the heartfelt care, concern and advice you have given me regarding my eye.

Dr Guess and his staff are amazing! I saw him after a referral from my optometrist and he addressed the issue and resolved it quickly. The staff and Dr Guess were very kind and friendly- they explained everything very clearly and so I understood what to expect

Great care and surgery, fantastic results! I am very pleased! I had a detached retina and he, along with me following through on my aftercare, has restored my vision to 20/ 20 from 20/300. What an amazing result! Thank you Dr. Kotowski!

I visited Rocky Mountain Eye Center after being referred by a Helena eye doc who I trust very much. I was very nervous due to recent changes in my eye sight. I feel very grateful to have landed at this bustling, professional clinic and in the care of Dr. Scott Guess who was reassuring, confident, capable and very experienced in the procedure I will likely have done. Whew. Honestly, I wept with relief at my good fortune to have landed at this busy regional clinic and in the capable, professional care of Dr. Guess.

Thank you crew you for making this a real great experience.
