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.

Best experience
Dr. Becherer really listens to you but also explains why or if you would need surgery. I just had a laminectomy and discectomy March 10th 2025. I have never felt better and I am so happy to did the surgery. SO happy my doctor had referred me to this practice because my experience has been top notch.

I lived in pain for over 15 years-off/on. No doctor gave me any diagnosis that was applicable to my situation-arthritis, etc. at 40 years old. Immediately, upon review of my MRI, Dr. Beckerer knew I needed a double discectomy, just before I experienced permanent nerve damage. Don't listen to your doctor, if it's cronic, it's serious. Seek a specialist for a complete diagnosis. Dr. Beckerer literally saved my life!

He was incredibly patient and listened to my concerns. He explained more about what's going on and advised he was going to help me go in the right direction and instead of surgery referred me to a neurologist. I left feeling heard and hopeful for the 1st time in a long time.

Dr. Becherer has been an excellent provider and his office staff are top notch. I have had two cervical fusions performed by Dr. Becherer with better than expected outcomes each time. I would recommend him without reservation.

From my initial contact to his office to my follow up appointment, this dr and his staff are top notch. Very upfront about prognosis, risks and cost. I have referred several to this office. The staff treats you like family and I never felt rushed. Immediate relief after my lumbar laminectomy. I walked out of the hospital after my outpatient procedure. Wonderful experience for a person like me that's very fearful of surgery at my young age.

Dr. Becherer didn't spend a lot of time with me but I think he covered everything needed. He's very straightforward, something I value highly. He wasn't eager to press surgery on me, another plus. The office staff are superb.
