The best Dr you will ever meet. He's literally watched me and my brothers grow up from when we were a babies. Sadly, I haven't seen him in years but I'll never forget him.

He was the doctor that delivered my daughters father and his two brothers. Their mom has nothing but praises for him so naturally, when I had our daughter he was our first choice. He is the first doctor that has ever given me a voice in an exam room. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Backes.

I became pregnant for my first son in 1983, gave birth in 1984. A friend of mine referred me to Dr. Backes. He was wonderful! Chase had Asthama and had a few problems during his childhood. I can remember Dr. Backes calling at 9 o'clock at night to see how he was doing! You can't even speak to a Dr. these days! When I had my second son, he told me, "now someone will come around to ask about circumcision and we will take care of it, if you want. That made me feel so good! Thru the years Dr. Backes office's has been there for me and my children, the entire staff is wonderful! It seems these days you can't find that anymore. Dr. Backes and staff you all hung the moon as far as me and my children are concerned!! My oldest son happened to be the one that said I might go to facebook to find you. Take care!!!
