He has a very caring staff that supports him as well as you! All in all- very professional and precise. He’s kind of giggly too!!!!!
Everyone there are very nice
I have had Doctor Beckstead for both cataract and upper lid surgery.I have been extremely pleased.I And would recommend him
Dr. Beckstead and staff have been very kind, caring and professional. I would refer there office to my friends, family and colleagues.
Patient-centered care is not only a theory, it is put into practice by Dr. Beckstead. From my first appointment to my last Dr. Beckstead carefully outlined what he would do as well as what I should do to address an eye-lid condition. In prior appointments, he informed me of each option I had based upon my condition and family history; his understanding of each option as well as his clarity in communicating to me why one option (which involved a biopsy) might be beneficial given my family history, was greatly appreciated. In this appointment, Dr. Beckstead examined my eye-lid and noted that it and the biopsy looked good. I left the appointment knowing that I’ll have a slight scar on that eye-lid, but I’ll also have peace-of-mind for taking an option that Dr. Beckstead thought would be best for me: [patient-centered care in practice].
Like that he is personable with us along with his skill- we like him
Personality & competence!
