Your professional eye administration is very fortunate to have someone of Dr. Beckstead‘s caliber and quality working for you. He is an A+ doctor and I always enjoy meeting with him. He has been very helpful to me personally with my eye problems. Congratulations to your organization for having him on your team
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
