Seems like a good doctor when you have his attention. If you can get his attention. Very hard to work with. Months of silence after my child's initial visit and blood work, despite my and staff's repeated efforts to get a response. Ultimately made the difficult decision to take a step backward, switching doctors in order for my child to move forward.

Does not return calls, emails or send follow up reports. The worst doctor I’ve ever dealt with.

I’m really disappointed to be writing this review because I had high hopes after meeting with him for the first time. I liked his demeanor and he explained things very well to both my daughter and I but since that first appointment, don’t expect him to respond to emails or calls. I trust his medical expertise but what good is it if you feel like just another number? Based on the reviews here, I probably shouldn’t expect that to change and feel I may have to find another, more responsive doctor within the practice.

Easy to make appointment and get a physical but other than that very poor office and doctor. Poor Bedside manner and followup considering he is a pediatrician. Needs better people skills and remember who his patients are.

We have been seeing Dr Becker for 5 years. He is at times hard to get in touch with but always does get back to us. He is very good with the kids. They don't mnd going to se him at all.
