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.

Changed doctors because I always waited much too long-up to 1.5 hours only to have her be rushed and only spend 4-5 minutes with me. She didn't explain things to me and she didn't listen to my concerns or take them seriously.

The practice is very disturbing. No time for proper visits, very bad communication from doctor to nurses to patients. I changed my phone number and gave them the new one a couple different times and they continued to call the old one.

If there were 10 stars possible, I would give Dr. Beckman 10 stars. She is wonderful! She is on time. She LISTENS to you. She answers questions clearly. She only orders necessary tests. She answers questions via the Patient Portal rapidly. I really have come to trust her judgement. She actually talked me into having a colonoscopy. Her nurse is great too. I can't say enough positive things about her. The only problem is getting through to the main office number is difficult right now (Covid-19 pandemic).

My experience with Dr. Beckman when in a room with her was generally good. She seemed to care about your concerns and involved you in the decision making process. However, she was always rushed and I would often get flustered and forget something I wanted to discuss because she was in a hurry. The wait to see her from arrival to actually getting her in a room was never ever less than 1.5 hours and sometimes more to see her for less than 3 mins. It wore on me over the years.

She does not try to push meds on you. She is honest and willing to help.

I have had the pleasure of having her as my primary care physician and my son's pediatrician for over 10 years and she is the best! Takes the time to listen, doesn't try to push you out the door, but takes the time to listen and carefully go over your symptoms. Very highly recommended! Always there when we need her! Thank you!
