"We had a short 30- day follow up. What was exciting is the treatment he prescribed worked. I’ve had an ear infection for nearly a year and multiple antibiotics didn’t work. Dr. Backous was where we were referred and he took good care of me. This visit was quick and positive because I’m doing so much better! Thank you!"

"Dr. Backous is the best!! I saw him over fifteen years ago with an amazingly huge colestiatoma and he walked me through the whole procedure managed to get it all done in less time than he thought and saved my life as well!! I can’t say enough good things about him but he tried to say some nice things about me too the man is a godsend and I wouldn’t be here without him!! He’s got a great heart and a wonderful sense of humor, if you need this kind of doctor he is the very best. I would give him a hundred stars if I could!!"

"I will not let any other Doctor touch my ears. He fixed what most other doctors said was a hopeless case. I have been seeing him for years and have never had an issue. He might not have the best bedside manner but he gets results and that is what matters most to me."

"I had Otosclerosis and researched Dr Backous and had him do one ear only about 10 years ago because I didn't trust doctors after having my nose butchered by some clown doctor in Seattle area. Things turned out great. My other ear declined over 10 years so I just had Dr Backous do the other ear. This one turned out even better. I have been told that he has his own special approach and others study his methods. Great doctor. Very nice too."
