Patient Reviews
Dec 03, 2022
I ruptured my Achilles tendon in October 2021 and due to the emergency nature of the situation, I was referred to a local doctor in my town. I had surgery and a couple of weeks later developed an infection. The original surgeon performed a second surgery to remove the infection in December 2021. My ankle still was not healing properly and a few months later another infection. A friend of mine actually referred to BJC where I found Dr. Backus. I appreciated the care taken on my case from the very first phone call to schedule my appointment. I had to provide my records and the imaging records from the previous doctor. When I got to my appointment, Dr. Backus came in, sat down and discussed my entire issue and had a plan of action. Although this resulted in a third surgery for this same issue, I was VERY pleased in the team of doctors who worked along side of Dr. Backus to make sure my issue was resolved! Today I'm healed and SO GRATEFUL to Dr. Backus!
