About Vet: I have been practicing veterinary medicine full time for almost three decades, mostly in rural areas. My pragmatic AND creative solution driven support is extensive with a broad 'toolbox'. My love is holistic and functional medicine and getting to root cause. I have certifications in acupuncture, chiropractic, and medical ozone therapy, utilize and have an awesome donor dog for microbiome restorative therapy (fecal transplants). I have an insatiable love of learning and love of nature, with over 10,000 miles of competition in equine endurance.

Dr: Backus was so helpful. She helped me understand what was going on and my best route for treatment. Also, this was for a Mustang that still has stranger danger so being able to do this virtually def helped get him the care he needed in a way that would have the most likely success.

Dr. Backus was warm and friendly and took great care listening to our concerns regarding our cat. She gave us many holistic options and resources and explained everything in great detail. She answered all of our questions thoroughly and was a joy to work with. I will be referring my friends to her as well.
