Samuel Backman, MD
I’m thrilled to be in primary care and to care for patients of all ages, gender identities, and backgrounds throughout every stage of life. I believe the best care begins with listening, building trust, and creating a welcoming, judgment-free space where patients feel comfortable being honest about their health. I have particular interests in LGBTQ+ health and medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorders. My goal is to form lasting partnerships with my patients, support them through everyday concerns and difficult moments, and help them feel informed, respected, and confident in the decisions we make together.
