Dr. Beck is excellent.
Dr Beck is an extraordinary physician, the very best of all that I have seen in the past few years. I feel blessed that she is the person looking out for my kidney health but a video call does not allow for a physical exam hence my reluctance to continue with this type of appointment. I understand that there was a concern regarding the possibility that there may have been a temporary staff shortage on the day of this appointment so the video conference was justified for this one time.
Dr. Beck is a fine doctor who really cares about what I've been going through (my husband recently died) and is an excellent kidney doctor.
Dr. Beck is responsible for prescribing medication that lowered my BP, which was very high. She always takes the time to answer my questions. She is a good doctor, and I highly recommend her.
Listened intently to.my concern and was polite in every way.
