Patient Reviews
Apr 06, 2019
I’ve been a patient of Dr Backman for many years. His intelligent approach to my health is amazing. I have complete confidence in his care. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He walks the walk as well and it shows in his physical appearance. He’s run over 100 marathons that speaks to his dedication!
