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.

You Deserve Better
Dr. Beiner collects paychecks and does not care about his patients' well being. For someone who deals with people who are suffering, he lacks empathy to an incredibly high degree. Not only that, but he will refer you to the same treatments time and time again, not even bothering to look at your chart to see what has- or what has not- worked. He is the epitome of what is wrong with the American Health Care system, and he is probably proud of it. Please do not waste your time seeing him. You deserve better.

Current Reviews are Hysterical
Perhaps I saw Dr. Benier on a bad day. The wait time was a short wait, the waiting room had one person while I waited to be seen. Without going into much detail, I'm a Package Handler under Workers Compensation for lower back injury to left leg. X-ray where taken, but never explained. I proceed to explain how the injury occurred, never got a word in edge wise. 'Perscribed PT, which annoyed him, that I was already doing PT' 'Perscribed Medication that I was already on, which annoyed him' The only test he did was a reflex knee test, and put me back to work. After his treatment yesterday, I saw a second doctor today which counteracts everything Dr. Benier said, and also gave me a diagnosis I was never given. I was also a paitent without any MRIs ever taken, which shocked the second opinon doctor. Overall, I left the office in tears for having pain still after 16 days and no help. His behavior was rude, dismissive, interrupts, seemed annoyed and arrogant that I was even sent to see him.

I have been seeing Dr. Beiner for quite a while.
Dr. Beiner is a kind, thorough, and experienced doctor. I went to him many years ago with the beginnings of sciatica. In the last year, the sciatica really kicked in making it difficult to work and get around. It would come and go though.... We decided I needed a lumbar fusion. This was done in November 2023 at Midstate Hospital in the CT-Ortho unit. He worked with Neurosurgeon Dr. Patrick Tomak. The experience was very positive--everyone at the hospital was wonderful to me. The after appointments have been great as well.

My Chosen Neck Specialist
The Doctor listened to my long-term problems I have had, which had been determined to stem from arthritis in my neck in the past. The time to wait for an appointment was very reasonable. I chose this organization CT. Orthopedics because they have many highly qualified Physicians and a website with a complete description of each. This Doctor was chosen because of his education, experience and interest in the cervical spine. He was very interested in my condition, and I am very optimistic because of the preliminary prescription for therapy, which is coordinated within Ct. Ortho, and the x-ray taken along with the process to arrange for an MRI, also handled by Ct. Ortho, to have him determine and explain what exactly should happen to help me. The Doctor is very pleasant, and along with his assistant, very patient and well-spoken about the procedure moving toward the next step.

I felt the office's Covid-19 protocols were comforting. I felt the precautions were very sufficient for safety. The opportunity to receive an epidural injection to see if it'll help relieve some of my symptoms.

Disappointing to say the least. I have family that have had successful surgeries with Dr. Beiner and was referred to him with glowing recommendations. After waiting a month for an appointment, the office called the day before to reschedule to the next week. The morning of that appointment as I leave they call and say they need to reschedule AGAIN and will try to get me in the same day (I live 40 minutes away). I finally got in that afternoon, arrived early with all my MRI's etc. The staff was very nice, however he literally talked to me for less than 5 minutes (did not even let me tell my issues) told me my symptoms had nothing to do with my neck issue and prescribed physical therapy and to see a neurologist. I was back in the car in less than 20 minutes total (and I even had an X-Ray in that time!) No discussion, explanation, etc. I felt like since I wasn't a patient for surgery I was dismissed and was taking up his time. Left the office in tears.

I consider Dr Beiner and his team one of the best. I was admitted due to excruciating pain as the result of a herniated disk. Dr Beiner team was exceptionally compassionate and immediately made me as comfortably as possible. Within minutes of my arrival Dr Beiner had examined me, clearly explained his diagnosis and my options moving forward. He then made arrangements for discectomy surgery at Midstate Medical Center. Due to his outstanding efforts I was able to walk out of the hospital pain free in less than 24 hours. Dr Beiner is exceptional and I have already recommended him to several others with similar issues. Thank you!
