Dr. Becker is one the most competent, kindest, caring, and considerate doctors I have ever had the pleasure of being treated by. He also has a delightful sense of humor. I will miss him sorely when he retires.

He actually let my Dad increase medication for his RA without taking a baseline blood test. Who does that? He now has Pulmonary Fibrosis which could've been avoided. Great job Dr. Becker. It's time to hand in your retirement papers.

Wait time is the only fault. Dr Becker is a sharp guy. he reaks of someone who knows his stuff. Doesn't make you come in more than you have to and is also very pleasent.

Dr. Becker is a wonderful, compassionate physician who has an endless wealth of knowledge about rheumatic disease, in addition to general health. He is extremely reassuring and makes going to the doctor a pleasant experience. Dr. Becker has such a pleasant, warm and caring disposition. I have never met a doctor quite like this one. He truly cares for people on a level that I have never seen before! Dr. Becker treats my boyfriend for a rare autoimmune condition and he is just wonderful. I called him at very late hours of the night when my boyfriend was sick and rather than being grumpy and annoyed, he was concerned and happy to help. I saw Dr. Becker when I had swelling in my hands of unknown ideology and even though I have an anxiety condition, Dr. Becker calmed my fears and made me feel so relieved. He is the most well-respected, knowledgeable rheumatologist I have ever come across. He saved the life of my boyfriend and my sanity as well. Dr. Becker is not only a wonderful physician… but an incredible person as well. You can just feel the compassion and concern when you speak with him. He respects all his patients and spends a lot of time with them. His bedside manner is excellent! We will not go to anyone else! Dr. Becker is absolutely wonderful and I would never trust anyone else to take care of my boyfriend!!!
