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.

Outstanding Doctor and Person with a wonderful sta
Dr. Beckhard is an amazing doctor and person. She spent so much time listening to my husband's issues on our first visit to her. Then, on another visit, she was extremely interested in hearing my son's issues. She is smart, kind, knowledgeable, and really cares about his patients. Her staff and Nicole are wonderful and caring. I would highly recommend Dr. Beckhard.

Found Dr. Beckhard a knowledgeable, caring and supportive doctor. Spent triple the time of any other doctor on the first visit to thoroughly go over all symptoms and questions. Would recommend her to anyone who suspects Parkinson's Disease. Glad I found her!

I love her. Yes, she doesn't mince words, but for me that's best. She's solved my decades-long migraine problems...and not with kindness, with some medicine and life changes that required me not doing what I was doing any longer. I've gone from many bad migraines a month to just a few mild ones.

I would never recommend Dr. Beckhard. On my first visit I was explaining my migraine history and she kept cutting me off saying she didn't want to hear that part yet. I was to wait until she asked a specific question. She criticized my other doctors. She talked to me condescendingly as if I were a child and reprimanded me over the phone because I told her my migraines were so bad during her so called preventive treatment, that I had to take medication. Then she had the nerve to bill my insurance company for $180 for a 5 minute phone call! I only gave her one star because you're required to and that's the lowest you can choose. Otherwise I would have given her no stars.

I would never recommend Dr Beckhard to anyone. She is condescending an rude and absolutely has no interest in hearing what a patient has to say. I questioned a decision that she made about my treatment and she billed me for an extended appointment. The next doctor that I saw told me that the medication that she repeatedly prescribed for me is contraindicated for other health problems that I have.

I have been a patient of Dr. Beckhards' for over 10 yrs. She has been there for all my neuro problems as well as all of the personal " stuff " that goes along with it. She takes time with me and I feel she really is happy when I tell her I feel good. I would recommend to anyone.
