Takes time to listen and answer your questions. I was blessed to be given him as my neurologist. I have had him for a few years now. He has stuck with me and worked with me through many different trials. He is such a kind soul. I wouldn't trade him for the world. If I have any problems I contact him through the office portal and he promptly gets back with me. He is a very attentive physician. He is an easy person to talk to and has a kind spirit. I highly recommend. Ten thumbs up.

I saw Dr. Becker twice and spent the entire time typing up on his computer. He was very short and seemed uninterested in my condition. After the first time seeing him, his office sent out for my neuro records. One month later, he finds out while seeing me he didn’t have them. There was no followup with me or communication between appointments. Furthermore, there was no discussion on what our game plan would be regarding treatment or further testing. Basically, there was no care to not waste my time. I shouldn’t have to pay for 3 visits before my specialist has what he needs to assess my situation! The office, however, is very efficient when it comes to collecting co-pays before your visit. I’m not one to complain easily mind you. I rarely write reviews like this. I’m doing so to warn others as to the unacceptable care I received.

Good bedside manor, very knowledgeable and methodical. He takes the time to understand the patient and explain the steps he is taking to diagnose and treat the problems.

I can't really rate the follow up after visit because we have only seen him one time, but I was impressed by his questions and diagnosis. He was extremely easy to talk to, and answered all our questions. He is very thorough and patient. Highly recommend this neurologist.
