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.

Very dismissive
I was just following the path the PA sent me down in GVH. Post MRi & PT sent to me to Dr. Beam. I said I had pain near my coccyx. The bed side manner was deplorable, like I put her out. Sorry your hospital system sent me down the orthopedic chain. Horrible!

My visit to Dr. Beim's office was as a representative of a young patient who was unable to speak English, frightened about dealing with an alien system, and deeply worried about his injury and his inability to understand the procedures involved. I was deeply impressed by Dr. Beim's ability to assess the injury, and her immediate follow-up work to expedite the highly complex surgery by a trauma specialist uniquely trained for this procedure. I was in awe, however, by her kindness, her ability to explain all the exceedingly challenging ramifications, and to put her patient at ease. Her clarity, and (dare I say in a medical dialogue) sweetness, was extraordinary. The follow-through of her office reflected Beim's gifts, and underlined what a good team can do to render the daunting aspects of a severe medical challenge to human scale, and put a patient on a confident path to recovery. The very best of medicine, the very best of humanity.

I can't say enough good things about this office. Dr. Biem and her entire staff make you feel like a friend from the second you walk in the door. I have absolute complete confidence in the skill level and performance of every single employee I've come in contact with AND I actually really enjoy "going to the doctor!

Dr. Beam saved me from making a HUGE mistake in my treatment that would have cost me 1,000's of $ and a lost year. She diagnosed my knee problem quickly with unique XRays right there on the spot and outlined several options available to me. She provided literature to help me make choices on my next consult and she exudes confidence, knowledge, skill and she has an INCREDIBLE resume of experience with the US Olympic teams. DR. BEAM ! If you want to continue to be an athlete and live life strong!

Five weeks out from a Morton's Neuroma Surgery I am in regular shoes, pain free, and resuming life as I knew it! I followed her post surgery instructions to the letter and had zero pain, very little swelling, and was off crutches in about a week. My recuperation was speedy. I am now ready for a big hiking trip out of the country. The surgery centre and staff in Gunnison were exceptional. If you have a neuroma...see Dr. Beim!

Dr.Beim is an extremely competetent, careful, knowledgeble, experienced orthopaedic surgeon. She listens to her patients and considers the whole person before deciding on a course of action. If possible she prefers physical therapy over surgery. Dr. Beim follows up with patients and genuinely cares about their well being. I have never felt rushed when in an appointment, I feel comfortable to ask questions and to take time to make decisions. The whole staff has made me feel cared for.

Dr. Beim was the most amazing doctor. I have seen many orthopaedists in my life but the time she spent with me showed how much she cared. I was not just a "number"! Her skills are amazing and I felt as impoortant as an Olympic Athlete. I could not recommend a better doctor!

I have had nothing but kindness and excellent care everytime I have seen Dr. Beim over the last 12 yrs. I have referred many patients to her because of the quality of care I know they will receive. she is not only an amazing physician but a wonderful person who cares very much about her patients. Even if she is busy, she will spend the time that the patient requires. The Alpine Surgery Center is a great facility with a wonderful staff who deliver first rate care.
