Really happy with my surgery and the care I received.
Excellent care thank you.
Explained everything about the surgery and asked if I had any questions. Very kind and caring.
Had surgery yesterday and followed up with Dr Beckstead today. The procedure went very smooth and my vision is really good even just one day post Am actually looking forward to having the other eye done next week.
Very knowledgeable, efficient, listens to questions and responds with answers that are in layman vocabulary. Genuine caring about his patients!
Dr. Beckstead is always a pleasure to see for my yearly examinations. He’s always very thorough and professional as well as friendly and easy to talk to.
Friendly and knowledgeable
Great knowledge. Great customer care & surgical skills
Highly recommend. Took my mom to have her eyelids looked at. Spent a lot of time with us. Gave her options. Didn’t pressure or rush us. Asked us to come back in a month after we considered the information he gave us. We have a follow-up appointment.
Had cararact surgery on both eyes. I am very impressed with the outcome. He was very attentive and took his time to make sure it was done right. I would highly recommend him to friends and family.
