Dr. Backhus Ralf

Unfortunately, I was unable to reach Dr. Backhus. For almost a week and a half, I called the listed number daily and couldn't get through. There was a sign at the practice with the listed number, another number, and the message: "Consultation hours by appointment only" (possibly not quoted correctly). I couldn't reach anyone at the second number either. After a few days, the line was permanently displayed as "busy." There's no voicemail for either number, and since there's no website or email address, I still had no way to contact Dr. Backhus. I didn't receive a call back. If the practice is closed for vacation, it's not obvious. What a shame!

We've been taking our dog and cat to this practice for years and are completely satisfied. Ralf is always friendly, competent, and takes his time with each animal. We particularly appreciate his calm manner when dealing with anxious animals and his clear, understandable advice. Even in emergencies, we could always rely on prompt assistance. A veterinary practice with heart and understanding – highly recommended!

My animals have been under Dr. Backhus's care for some time now, whenever they need a vet. He is very empathetic, highly knowledgeable, and very attentive to both the owners and the animals. I can wholeheartedly recommend his practice.

Well... I absolutely cannot confirm that he's unreachable. Dr. Backhus has been there for us for 10 years! Even on weekends! He's a super competent veterinarian who always has a sympathetic ear for all our problems and always leaves us feeling reassured (after receiving good advice and support).

We've only recently started taking our two Irish Wolfhounds to Ralf for treatment. Our dogs have never been so relaxed during a treatment before. Ralf is competent and takes plenty of time for both the pet owners' questions and the animals. We highly recommend his practice.
