I felt our session was somewhat brief given it was our first meeting.
Dr Backman is ALWAYS very attentive and considerate when I see him. If I ask any questions, he answers in a way that i'm able to understand him. If not, I just ask again for him to explain.
Comprehensive first visit
Dr. Backman interpreted my lab results immediately, and wrote back his assessment of these results, my medical issues and medications, and his recommendations. The heuristic nature of his response, and speed by which he replied, was impressive!
My name is [redacted]. I'm [redacted] years old and I'm getting old. Warren Bachman is excellent. He answers all my questions. He listens to me. He explains everything to myself and my wife who usually accompanies me and she is a nurse. So I have nothing but the highest regard to Dr. Warren Bachman. Thank you.
Warren Backman is an excellent physician, very well trained, very good diagnostician. I cannot think of a physician I've ever had who is as good as Warren Backman, and I have recommended him highly to friends and colleagues.
He was excellent! I have complete confidence in him.
Dr. Backman was very responsive to our needs, which were difficult at the time.
He is competent. Works in geriatrics but not sure he likes old people - or maybe its just me. His physicians assistant is much more involved and caring
He is very knowledgeable, smart, answers to all of the questions and concerns. He really cares about me
