Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

One of the kindest and most knowledgeable doctors
Dr Beckley goes out of his way to make the patient feel safe and comfortable, answer any questions asked, takes no offense even though I'm the most annoying patient ever and goes out of his way to accommodate any requests for assistance with anything that's needed like important prescriptions or physical therapy or anything. Phenomenal physician. His bedside manner is just as good as his extensive knowledge of medicine.

Fine man, Fine doctor
An excellent physician and an excellent man. I've been paraplegic for more than 50 years, so I've encountered more than my share of rehabilitation doctors. It's a field that attracts caring people, but even in this group Dr. Beckley is outstanding: warm, thorough, oriented toward the whole patient not just the body.

Top Doc!
I have a lot of experience with doctors, and Dr. Beckley is one of the best I have ever seen. He listens with such depth and understanding, assesses the situation with skill, and gives direct input on next steps. He also cares about the entire patient and helps troubleshoot issues beyond his area by helping me reach out to the right people.

SIMPLY THE BEST
Dr. Beckley truly cares about his patients. From my first visit, he made me feel comfortable, as I was unsure about the treatment. He makes you feel like he cares about you as a person & your well being. I Love him. We need more Dr's with his bed side manner which I feel is excellent. He goes above & beyond what is expected of him.

Amazing doctor
Unfortunately have had to see many specialist over the past few years Dr Beckley truly stands out as one of the best. Knowledgeable, empathetic and listens to his patients. He gave a more thorough Neuro exam than many of the neurologists I had been to and found problems that weren’t addressed before.

Postive Doctor!
Doctor Beckley took the time to explain my conditions. In explaining, he used computer graphics as well as hand gestures to explain in a manner that would be easy for a layperson to understand. Not once did I feel rushed. I feel as though WE collaborated on the best course of treatment after weighing my options. His upbeat personality is inspiring and most encouraging
