Christopher T. Behr, M.D.

Good doctor

Great guy, excellent staff.

Dr Behr was super nice, thorough and easy to communicate with. Thankful for a knowledgable MD who is easy to work with. Thanks again Dr. Behr

Enjoyable and informative, thank you

Dr Behr is a great person, who is very knowledgeable and very nice.. It’s always nerve wracking when meeting a new Dr and the staff. I love that the staff remembered my name when I walked in the office. So thank you all for being so helpful and friendly.

Excelent

Very pleasant, thoughtful and skilled. Good bedside manner.

Dr Behr explains things so simple.

Felt confident with doctor Behr.Answarall my questions.Would recommend him to every one.

Very courteous

Surgery went well. Dr Behr took his time at each appt to answer my questions. Practical and honest surgeon.

Had a terrific session with Dr. Behr who was able to give me an accurate assessment of my situation.

Thank You and your staff.

Informative, easy to comprehend diagnosis. Much appreciated

Excellent doctor

Good doctor somewhat inpatient but good

Very good surgeon.

My appointment was very unimpressive. The doctor was not very personable or seem to care about me and probably spent a total of five minutes in the room with me.

He listens, he’s empathetic and has done nothing but completely help with my myriad yet , so far, orthopedic problems. I really appreciate Doc Behr.

Good customer service

Terrible service at the front desk in el centro Ca.

A lot of confidence helps the patient. Things proceeded as promised.

He was late, blamed MRI tech for not being more accurate and couldn’t come up with a diagnosis for a persistent problem. Told a very active person in their 30’s to possibly “ease off the exercise”. Total waste of $350.

Excellent doctor

Knows what’s going on. Very honest and listened.

Always a good experience when seeing Dr.Behr.

Great Surgeon, he has taken care of most of my aches and pains and wear and tear's for the past 20 years keeping me productive in the work force.

Quick, efficient, helpful.

Very nice, listens to his patients and very caring.

Always gives on point diagnosis. Explains everything in easy to understand language.

Dr seemed uninyet

Very concerned about my shoulder problems

Very confidently explained the process going forward to resolve a nagging knee issue . We really liked his bedside manner also .

Great Dr. very understanding of patients needs. Very professional.

Appt was for 2:30 waited 1 hour Saw him for 2-3 minutes, didn’t seem caring. Did nothing but have me stand up and raise my arms a few different ways. Did not seem to care about all the pain I’m in and Will not see him again and will not refer.

Great doctor and staff!

Great job on both my knees!

Great Doctor. Listens to my concerns and explains to me in detail the next steps in the process.

Excellent Doctor, extremely knowledgeable and he really cares for his patients

Dr.Behr is a fantastic surgeon. I appreciate everything he has ever done for me. I’m always telling family and friends if they need a great orthopedic surgeon contact Dr.Behr.😊👍🏼

Doesn’t like to be asked of anything that are patients concern, he’s always late and when it comes is in a rush and doesn’t answer questions . The surgery wasn’t good and still don’t know exactly what he did

Waited an hour no apology or acknowledgment that they were running behind. Dr visit was 2 mins. Everything of over booked for max profit not care. Going for workers comp wouldnt continue to go here with my person ppo insurance.

Patiently listened and informed me of the suspicion of his onsite diagnosis and moving forward to further check for MRI results to confirm…appreciate knowing my problem

Overall a wonderful doctor. I rated 4 stars only because of time waiting to be seen. I believe waiting over 45 minutes is really not considering of a patients time. I personally am a caregiver who has to have someone take over for me when I have an appt. I guess I'm just ranting here, but perhaps booking appointments is just too close. Sorry and thank you.

Dr. Behr gave a thorough explanation of the problem with my knee. He followed up with the medical options I had in order to expedite the healing process.

Very good doctor, would recommend him to my friends.

Done a good job on my knee and I thank him for that but to me he needs to work on his people skills to some that may not matter but to some it means a lot

Incredibly knowledgeable doctor with great people skills - THE BEST!!!

Always a pleasant personality and very involved in your condition.

Two knees and the most trusted ortho there is! Thanks doc!

Great pre-op visit, Dr Behr answered all my questions and concerns about my up coming surgery. My expectations are that I will have a great procedure with Dr. Behr and his team.

On time, personable and efficient. Dr Behr did a good job explaining my issue and options. Appointment went smoothly.

I appreciated Dr Beth’s input but honestly the reception staff and the process of waiting to be seen needs some work. I waited for 1 hour and 20 minutes before I got called to come back. And then waited another 20 mins in the treatment room.

very nice dr., very professional, asks me when im taking my shot if i'm ok

He is a caring caring doctor.God bless him.

Awesome n caring doctor I just love him!!!

Talked with my daughter on her level where she understood everything. He answered all her questions making sure she was comfortable with the surgery.

Cortisone shot was great! Shoulder already feels better!

Great doctor.

Dr. Behr is great ! very gentle with shots telling me if i'm ok

Excellent surgeon. Confident and calm.

Flat affect could be more engaging

Doctor was Fast, precise. Getting an appointment easy. Front desk and medical assistant helpful an courteous!

Helpful employees and Dr. Behr advised me in a timely manner.

Outstanding surgeon, takes time to explain the procedure and listens to all my questions.

Still wish staff would return phone calls.

Dr Behr is a pro's Pro! I've been a patient for 10yrs and would recommend him to my family and friends...actually, I have!

am pleased with Dr. Behr's approach to my surgery.....made me feel very comfortable.........

Behr’s a good man

Is one sided and believes what he says is God. Only his opinion matters.

Great quick service

I have been seeing Dr Behr for many years now and he is an excellent Dr. professional courteous and makes you feel important and deserving of his care

WAITED1.45 MIN. from my appt time and this doctor could not have cared any less about my injury. I had to suggest a cortisone shot for temporary pain relief. (which his office doesn't do BTW) He went on to lmk I'm too old (I'm a very fit 62) to have surgery to repair and instead suggested I wait until I need a full hip replacement!!

Doc is straight forward and Professional I always recommend him to everyone in need of Orthopedic Surgeon.Thank God for Dr.Behr

Punctual, had reviewed chart so was prepared knowledgeably on my son's injuries to make an informed judgement on new injury.

always seems to solve the problems

Was running 50 + min behind. He said 2 or 3 persons out and they were covering. I made The appt for both shoulders, upper arms and elbows. He t told the nurse I would have to make another appt for elbows. I told her Zi drive 2.5 hrs to get there and why can’t he do my elbows also. I ask about elbows and he said he didn’t think I had a chipped elbow. He didn’t feel or X-ray it. He is a dr of too few words. He said I could have a rotator cuff He did X-ray shoulders. I asked him what type of images would show him. He said, mri, I said let’s do it. MRI IS March 17.

Very nice. Timely in your service to the patient and that is always appreciated. I also get treated by Dr. Toliver and he is terrific also.

to wait an hour to see the doctor.

Great guy. Great surgeon.

does not inform you on the decision he make, in till you see them on the work status report,

Very helpful in determining a second opinion. He fully answered all my question.

Love Dr. Behr??

Dr. Behr has a good manner about him, listens well and answers question in an easy to understand way. I have seen him several times and would not hesitate to see him again if needed.

Great care and successful surgery. Fantastic staff as well. Could not have asked for better care.

He listens to what you have to say and he consults very well

Excellent doctor, very professional and kind, highly recommend to anyone with orthopedic problems, thank you doctor Berh, Your patient Jose Estrada

Been seeing him for years. Never had any problems. Always made aware of risks and rewards.

Dr Christopher Behr is an excellent doctor the very best I’ve enjoyed his professional helping my behalf and now I will enjoy better health

Long time patient of Dr. Behr, no finer man and surgeon anywhere!

nice guy easy to communicate with helpful with my issue

Very efficient staffs from schedulers to doctor assistants and X-ray tech. Dr. Bher was so diligent in evaluating my progress and he was so concern of me getting back on track. Thank you Dr Bher and your staffs. God bless.

Listens and offers different treatment options.

On time, very knowledgeable and friendly! A+

Apparently Dr. Behr doesn’t see patients who had surgeries with other surgeons. That’s fine, it’s his prerogative — though it seems rather silly when all I am seeking is a consult and a referral to traditional post-op PT. That said, if he doesn’t want to see a patient then, first, he needs to make that clear to his staff who all knew I was 10-weeks post op and even asked me to bring the op report. Secondly, if he already knows he won’t see me, then when he enters the room he should state something like “I’m sorry, there’s been a misunderstanding and I can imagine how frustrating that is. I will help you resolve this or get someone who can.” Instead he peppered me with questions, extremely curtly as if I was wasting his time, demonstrated a complete lack of compassion for my situation, kept telling me to do things like return to Kaiser HMO, which is legally impossible under Work Compand and was dismissive and rude, at one point even stating “well, that’s not my problem.”

Very personable, clearly describes everything and helps to show path to recovery.

Great doctor.

I feel Dr Christopher Behr is the best orthopedic dr he did an excellent job on my right knee replacement. I have no complaints. I only wish he also did surgery on shoulders my right one is bad

Didn't want to hear me when I told him I was in pain just didn't have a bedside manner or compassion

Waited over 2 hours for Dr Behr to show up in my exam room. This orthopedic office needs updating. No computers in exam rooms so you can't see the x-ray you just paid for. Furniture beat up. Doctors look dirty (white coats need washing.) Dr Behr could not care less about your problem. I won't go back.

he took good care of me

I like that he remembered me, his patient, listens, assesses, and is direct.

Great doctor. No BS on his part. Dr. Behr gave me a quick assessment and decided on a fast plan of treatment. I very much appreciate his expertise and candor.

Wait was 1hr and 20min and visit was 5mins before he left the room without saying goodbye (said he was grabbing something and had his medical assistant do it) and without asking if I had questions or understood the Dx and treatment plan. I was left to wait another 10min in the room.

I can't say enough great things about Dr Behr and his nurse, Blanca. Great Care and great people!

personable, informative, gentle

We just met today. Seems fine; whole procedure was a little slow.

Spent only 5min. with me---waited 1 1/2 hr from time of appointment.

Very competent

Dr. Behr is an excellent surgeon. He listens to my concerns and tries to the best of his ability, have procedures approved to help continue my shoulder injury healing process. I truly appreciate his concern. Thank you Dr. Behr.

Dr. Behr is amazing! He explains everything clearly regarding my health. I was able to view a recent MRI I had done! Blanca his assistant is very kind and helpful.

Very professional and knowledgeable. Great surgeon. Always listens and always has patients best interest in mind.

If you want a professional orthopedic surgeon that has your back Dr Behr is my choice from my experience with him

To early to tell. Would have appreciated options detailed for my condition. Follow up appointment will give more to ascertain.

I love this doctor. He is caring and does excellent surgeon.,

Has done wonders for my knee pain!

Outstanding orthopedist. Kind, professional...knows his area of expertise well.

He is very knowledgeable and gave me good advise about my foot problem & how to take care of it. Thank you.

Time in waiting room was excessive

Dr. Behr and his staff are very thorough and fast!

X-rayed, diagnosed, and treated in one visit. Thank you!!

Dr Behr is an excellent surgeon; has a friendly demeanor and the patience to spend the time necessary to answer all your questions.

Very honest and friendly. I appreciate the honest opinion on my situation

Not satisfied with the visit and didn't receive recommendations or medications.

My first visit with Dr. Behr went exceptionally well. I was immediately impressed by his friendliness, professional manner and medical know-how. He put my concerns at rest, treated my condition and left me feeling very encouraged about my expected recovery. I'm so glad I chose him!

good explanation of condition and expected recovery process, answered all my questions

Have been to Dr Behr before. Always right on and explains things thoroughly.

Thanks Dr. Behr , I’m feeling better already. Thanks for going the extra mile. Marc

Awesome doctor, would recommend him to anyone.

Excellent, caring physician.

Dr was amazing! Beat shoulder shot ever!

Rude and condescending a horrible bed side manner. Doesn’t explain things.

Great today. On time. Personable. Clearly very knowledgeable and I felt like he was giving good advice and not rushing into surgery.

He diagnosed my injury and set the recovery plan right away. He is a wonderful and gifted doctor. Again, I am fortunate to have him for my care.

Listens to my concerns & gives options for treatment . His assistant Blanca also listens to my concerns & is always kind & caring.

Had to wait a very long time. Start to finish 2 hours

Very professional,knowledgeable and personable

Dr. Behr always goes into great detail regarding any injury mand provides patients a lot of time to ask questions.

From appointment reminders, front desk efficiency & friendliness, nurse professionalism and physician’s expertise; SDOA has it all.

Was told a lot of people live with numbness in there hands so I’m ok if it bothers me to much just get another job. I have had my Career for 16 years!

Very professional and great care.

Dr. Behr is a great doctor and explains your diagnosis thoroughly. Very professional and has polite delivery of sometimes bad news. Always answers all your questions patiently. The only downside is the wait time to be seen, this is likely not his fault and he is just overbooked but it’s rather bothersome to have to wait at least an hour in the waiting room after your designated appointment time each time you’re seen.

Very Professional, looking out for the patient and explained the situation clear and concise to the me.

He’s the best. Does and always taken very good care of me. He is a straight shooter, no sugar coating, yet kind.

There is no better!

Very rude and mistreats patients knowing they are in pain.

Cold

Always so profession as is his staff that comes to El Centro.

Very professional!

I’m a retuning Patient of Dr Behr and once again he didn’t let me down .. He’s a Great Dr and his Staff in El Centro & San Diego are Friendly, Respectful knowledge, Professionals. Office is clean and Have Covid 19 restrictions. In place Which is very important right now ..

Explains himself very accurately. Felt comfortable with him as a patient.

Waits are usually long, but today I waited 1 hr 15 minutes in the examination room before the wonderful Dr. Behr could see me.

The Dr visit itself was fine, but the wait was not. I was required too check-in 30 minutes early to fill out paperwork that could have been done online, then it took an hour to be seen. I think that's unreasonable.

Didn’t make me wait much. Clear explanations. Just what I needed.

Clear and concise

He may be a great surgeon but the wait is always over an hour.

Fir my first visit. I'm extremely satisfied.

Very long wait time to be seen. Not very friendly or personable. I wasn’t given much detail on what my pain is or what is causing my pain. Huge waste of my time and gas. Not impressed.

Every visit I have had took over an hour before the doctor could see me.

Was a good service !

very professional, and listen to my concerns

He is very professional

I love Dr Behr I’m gone to him for years , have always been satisfied with his care . I have recommended him to family and friends and they are always happy with the results. His staff is friendly and helpful .

Dr. Behr was wonderful. He gave me a detailed explanation of my injury and suggested a recovery plan that didn’t involve surgery. It’s evident that he cares for his patients and is willing to spend enough time during the appointment to address all questions they may have.

Great verbal communication

Very direct and efficient to come to a conclusion and problem identification.

Waited an hour, didn't give me more than a minute, not sure if he's a good doctor

Ever since the pandemic, my wait time has only been about 10% of what it used to be. Everything moves much quicker now.

Thank you so much Dr. Behr, my knee feels so much better already. My visit to your office was actually very nice, I didn’t have to wait long at all, even with having to have x-rays. And your staff was so pleasant.

Very nice, listened and took his time.

Great doctor didn't talk to me about surgery, but physical therapy instead. Now that's how you take care of your patients!

Excellent medical treatment.

Excellent doctor! We trust him with any surgery.

Friendly, accommodating and takes the time to answer questions. Office staff is very helpful as well.

Very professional, knowledgeable and great rapport with client.

Great receptionist and service.

Felt taken care of.

Dr Behr is the Greatest

Very personable and explained everything in great detail for my mother and I. Very nice office staff as well.

I have been Dr Behr patient for many years . I have complete confidence in his abilities .. I have always had excellent care and results..

Doctor Behr is a real professional while being a friendly neighborhood doctor. I like and trust him, his opinion and his abilities.

He’s a very Experienced Doctor . I had a very nice first visit.

So wonderful thank you for all you information and all your new time for today at today’s visit thank you very much have a wonderful day call

Dr Berh is an excellent doctor who patiently listens to all concerns and questions, clearly answers them and offers realistic suggestions to help in the recovery. And he does all this with a smile

All staff members put in best effort to keep a busy office flowing. Thanks for all you do!

Listens and smart

Thorough, personable and most important logical.

Waited 50 minutes for a 4 minute consult. He was dismissive and extremely unhelpful.

Excellent!

This was my 2nd visit to Dr. Behr. The 1st he seemed distant. This was a much better experience and he was engaged. Both appointments I really appreciate his willingness to talk about all my options and he does not push me into a decision.

Very abrupt and brief. I felt he did not want to spend any time with me. He made me feel like he just needed to get to the next patient.

This is my favorite doctors office to go to in San Diego. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Dr Behr is the best!!

Dr Behr has a very nice and professional approach. He explains himself clearly when talking to me. He provides the right answer every time I asked about my recovery process. His assistant is realy nice and empathetic with the patients.

Great Doctor !

Have had both shoulders corrected by Dr. Behr and both came out great. Very short recovery time. I find Dr. to be very thorough , gives me his full attention and takes his time with me. On top of that he is also a very personable and friendly gentlemen. Would not hesitate to have him work on me again but i'm out of shoulders.

Extremely easy to talk to. Listened to all my concerns and explained the procedure to me fully.

Thanks for your excellent care and service to you and your staff.

Very approachable and explained assessment and xray results thoroughly.

Bedside manner is nonexistent. Felt rushed even though Dr was late for multiple appointments. Did not review chart before proceeding with procedure and verifying the patients issues/symptoms and even extremity effected. Once seen had maybe 4min of the doctors time to ask questions and have a small invasive procedure performed.

Still and always will be the best.

Can’t say enough for how much I appreciate Dr Behr’s care and expertise. He is better than the best review out there.

Dr. Behr seemed in a huge rush to get out of the office. I had many, many more questions to ask. He made me feel that every question I did ask was stupid. He was not personable at all. I was very disappointed.

Very knowledgeable and willing to fully discuss treatment options.

An excellent surgeon!!

Fine diagnosis. Would have loved info on prevention or what else I can do.

I appreciate the professional help. I'll be dancing those ol' steps again thanks to the painless shot in the knee. RR

Best Orthopedic doctor there is!!

Excellent doctor

I think he explained things well. I didn't feel rushed and he gave me time to make decisions. I thought his manner was distant bit not rude. I waited quite a long time for him to see me which I understand can happen sometimes, but I would have appreciated some acknowledgement of my time waiting.

Excellent doctor, wonderful staff, great service.

Dr Behr has provided the top-notch care for multiple members of our family.

Almost 2 hours to get in to see the doctor

Dr Behr has done work on me before and he is very thorough, explains everything...

To the point.

He knows his profession.
