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.

Billing issues and they simply blame it all on the customer. Very unprofessional

I have been seeing an Optometrist for over 2 years and felt she was not trying to find answers to my visual problem. So decided to see Dr. Becker, his reviews were very good, and patients liked him and his staff. He ordered some tests to be done, and within 4 hours after getting home he called with the results. That is excellent care.

I have been a patient with Dr. Becker for over 20 years and find him to be extremely professional and caring . On 1/8/20 I had my annual exam and Dr. Becker determined that I had some plaque in my eye. His quality exam afforded me the opportunity to schedule appropriate doctors to prevent a stroke. Dr. Becker’s expertise and quality care for my family is appreciated more than words can say. I strongly recommend Dr. Becker for your eye care.

I seen Dr. Becker a couple months ago after seeing changes in my vision and my mom going blind with immaculate degeneration I wanted to know my situation. Dr. Becker was amazing, the best eye dr I have ever seen. He assured me that was not my case with much relief. My husband recently started seeing like these blue oras so of course Dr. Becker was referred. After consultation an MRI was ordered by him. The MRI showed Maxillary Sinus Disease, concerns of carotid artery and possible aneurysm and he went out of his way to contact us and ordered CT being done tomorrow. Without Dr. Beckers true concern of his patient this would have not been detected. My husband never gets sick besides common cold and rarely sees Dr. of which his recently retired so Dr. Becker stepped right up to make sure my husband is being treated promptly. We recently found new MD and now praying for nothing to serious. Thank You Dr. Becker, you would also be a fabulous MD. I'll refer you to anyone!!!!

Dr. Becker is simply the best!!! He takes time to listen and gives his full attention. He educates me and provides insight at an amazing level! He shared a close up photo of a spot in my eye and explained environmental factors that might have led to this spot which turned out not to be an issue in my case. He has expertise in making careful observations and fine discernment as to what's a concern and what's not. He also told me how squeezing my eyes can give false high pressure results for the glaucoma test. After not squeezing , my eye pressure results fell into normal range of 16 which was a fantastic news to me!! His staff is also very helpful and supportive. August 25, 2019

I am writing on behalf of my husband who has been under Dr Becker's care for years. Recently a very serious issue came up related to his glaucoma. Dr. Becker took the time to evaluate, contact other doctors in the field, and those doctors already working on my husbands issues. I was most impressed because Dr. Becker took the time to immediately address a serious problem over two days/evenings/and into the weekend. We are extremely grateful and can not express how much it means to us the professional care and commitment Dr. Becker provides.

Was given a list of local doctors from my insurance provider. Upon reading reviews I selected Dr Becker. His staff was extremely helpful and courteous. Dr Becker was very professional and actually listened to my problem! I left being assured of my future eye health while my initial issue has been corrected. I highly recommend Dr Becker.

My experience was amazing. Unlike another doctor of who insisted I needed cataract surgery, Dr. Becker first did a through examination before telling me that the cataracts had changed little in ten years. He said they barely met the requirements to be covered by insurance and he gave me an alternative. Surgery would give me 20/24 or 25 vision. He could give me glasses that would give me 20/24 or 25 vision with no consequences of surgery given my other health issues. He was detailed in his explanation and caring in answering my questions. I will go no where else for my eye care.

Recently visited Dr. Becker due to an ongoing eye infection. Called to get an appointment and the staff was very helpful. I called late in the day and was able to get an appointment the very next morning. Dr. Becker was very friendly and easy to talk to about my problem.
