A trip to the OB is never fun, but Dr. Backhus was a true professional and set me at ease the entire visit.

She was very thorough and was very helpful in quickly understanding an issue I've been to several doctors for in the past (and received no answers). Wait time in the office was very long, but in the end, worth it. Dr. Backhus was great.

Dr. Backhus was fantastic. I was in and out of the office within an hour, she was super knowledgeable and answered any questions I had, and she made me feel comfortable during what is always an uncomfortable visit. I would easily recommend her to those I care about.

Dr. Backhus was extremely professional, understanding, and helpful. She was very patient and addressed all of my concerns and questions. Completely put me at ease about the visit. The procedure itself was thorough but super quick and painless. And since I don't have health insurance, she went out of her way to get me info on a clinic that offers sliding scale fees just so I could have the option available to me in the future if costs become a prohibitive factor or concern. I highly recommend her.

She seemed a bit scatter brained, and she neglected to perform a breast exam after stating that she was going to.
