Dr Beckstead was great. Very kind and explained things in terms I could understand. Highly recommend him.
Very personable and professional. I only wish I’d been informed that I needed to remove my lashes before the tests. I had to reschedule for the end of September.
He was a busy doctor due to a previous emergency. That was okay with me to care for another patient.
very concise in his explanation as well as providing me opportunity to ask questions and voice concerns. Thank you
