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.

Dr. Bea is the best! My 85 year old mom had a lump removed and the healing process was wonderful. My mom experienced no pain or discomfort. AMAZEING! Thank you Dr. Bea. The Daniel Family

Outstanding medical care
Of all the Dr’s I’ve had, Dr Bea and her team stand out as one of the very best! They listen, take the time to explain the options and treatment plans, and genuinely seem to care about all the aspects of my health. I feel very confident that no matter what comes my way, Dr Bea and her team will take excellent care of me!

The Best in Breast Care
Fortunately, I have not had to see Dr. Bea for any crisis or cancer-related breast issue. Mine is mostly cosmetic. However, she has a wonderful bedside manner and accepts her patient's opinions and decisions about non-essential surgical procedures. I am happy that after two visits approximately two years apart, she is still speaking the same language despite being a surgeon who loves surgery. If I feel I can live with my situation, so can she. Her staff is comprised of an amazing group of women of color! They're warm and friendly, and great conversationalists. I had to cancel appointments a couple times and they were most gracious and accommodating. If I had a situation that warranted treatment, I would consider Dr. Bea for my care. She has a Southern soft-spoken charm that is a blessing in big-city Brooklyn!

The best doctor ever!!!
The first thing i noticed about Dr. Bea was her kind voice. She spoke with care and as if she'd known me for years, She speaks from her heart and her honesty gives you comfort. There are so many words to descibe Dr. Bea but the best one is loving it's as if you can see her heart through her smile and concern for her patients. I thank her for assisting with saving my life.

The Best!
Dr. Bea was actually my “2nd opinion” doctor. However, as soon as I met her and felt her energy, bedside manner and the knowledge she had on the issue, I knew right away that I wanted her to be my doctor. She introduced me to the team, treated me, operated and made me feel like I wasn’t alone and I was going to get through my situation together with her. Although, I dread my 6 month appointments for obvious reasons, I look forward to seeing her. I know I am in good hands. I have recommended her and have heard the same sentiments. I feel blessed. Thank you Dr. Bea!
