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 Becker is the greatest I had my spinal fusion in 1986 and I couldn't be happier. Lived my life like it never happen. Never had any problems. Best bedside manner can't recommend enough!!!!

Dr. Becker has performed a spinal fusion on my sister, my husband and a family friend. ALL with amazing results. He is professional, courteous and will spend the time to make sure that you are comfortable with the procedure and that you fully understand what you are undertaking. He was great with follow up questions and getting back to us with answers. We would highly recommend him

I have NEVER dealt with such a poor doctor. Did my fusion 4 YRS ago and I am in more pain then I was before my surgery. REFUSES to listen to my needs, condition or pain. No bedside manner and in such a rush to get me out of the exam room. Also, he did my Fiancee's father's surgery, and messed up his spine as well. Other people i have talked to since my surgery (strangers) whom also went to him for surgery has said the same as myself. WOULD NEVER refer him to ANYONE!!

The worst doctor that every existed! My spine surgery with him was 8 years ago and everyday I am haunted with excruciating pain, which is much much much worse than before surgery. His methods and techniques are terrible and this surgeon choice has ruined my quality of life.
