Patient Reviews
Dec 12, 2024
Dr. Backus was very clear why I needed surgery and how he would fix my foot fracture. My outcome was perfect for my 5th metatarsal fracture. His staff was very helpful for all of my paperwork as required by my employer and for the purposes of Colorado's FAMLI program (FAMLI is a program in Colorado that ensures workers have access to paid leave) Post surgery instructions were clear and his staff was easy to reach and responsive via email. I am so thankful to return to running, hiking, and cycling. Thank you Dr. Backus and to his staff.
