    Do not have any procedures there. I was lied to, ignored and rushed. Concerns of a bad headache and…read moreeye hurting was dismissed as being dehydrated, but they threw away and wasted a half of bag of fluids. I'm a Fall Risk patient, but at no time did they put that bracelet on me. I have severe anxiety, but yet they wouldn't let my wife come back with me even though there was a chair next to my bed. They take your phone off the get go, so I couldn't take my mind off the procedure that way either even though they had me laying there for an hour. It also feels like I have a low grade fever, but after everything else wasn't going to bring it up even though they saw me feeling my head and cheeks. I REPEAT DO NOT USE THEM FOR YOUR PROCEDURES!!! There's multiple other facilities in town that are way better!

    I typically hate going to doctors. The long waits, the mean-ass walruses at the reception desk, and…read moreetc. The COVID lunacy amplified this feeling by 1000. So after trying the "turd in a bucket" alternative, I had to have a colonoscope. Just great. Other than having to starve for 24 hours and a day of "the runs", this was surprisingly a pleasant experience. First of all, the receptionists were all very nice. I didn't have to wait too long either. The nurses were also very nice and helpful along with the anesthesiologist. They explained what they were doing and made being naked pretty comfortable. Dr. Howe was also very nice. If you have to have an air line run up your butt, this is a pretty good place to do it.

    Dr. Beckenstein is an amazing surgeon, a warm and personable man, and his entire office staff has…read moretreated me like family. I was deciding between two plastic surgeons to do a double breast reconstruction from a fire 26 years ago. I had skin graphs after the fire, and then a reconstruction the year after. But I never have had normal looking breasts since the fire. I went to the original reconstructive surgeon from 26 years back, who gave me a new quote for the reconstruction surgery which was high, and he also said I would need another surgery after that one. Neither would be covered by insurance and for two breast surgeries I would be paying well over twenty grand. Even though money was an issue, I also didn't want to use someone who was cheap just because I couldn't afford it. I went to see Dr. Beckenstein to get a second opinion after researching and finding how much reconstructive breast work with women with breast cancer he performs. The vibe in his office was so warm and loving, not like the cold and sterile environment of the other plastic surgery office. I met with him, and found him to listen, to be to the point, and to have new ideas. He came up with a different treatment plan involving one surgery, retaining and grafting my nipples, and was able to get insurance to cover the mastopexy. It was a miraculous day when that happened. But if insurance had denied it, it would have been 1/2 the price for out of pocket pay for reconstructive surgery as the other physician, and would not require a second surgery. He would graft my nipples during surgery, and we would use one of his four tattoo artists on staff to perfect it down the line. When I asked the other physician how we would do tattooing, he was very unconcerned and just said, "We will figure that out later." Well, the main reason I wanted this surgery was to have nipples and areolas that looked like what they were supposed to be. One surgeon had four people on staff trained to create that illusion, while the other said we would figure it out later. I had the surgery last week, and the work he performed was nothing short of a miracle. The staff has been so helpful, and they make sure you have every key person at the office's contact info for questions during the pre and post op process. He called us back over the weekend when we had a question, and has been such a blessing. I would recommend anyone who is interested in a procedure to go see him. Not only is he an expert in the field, his prices are very fair, his staff is top notch, and his surgical hand is amazing. Thank you Dr. Beckenstein.

    I have never met a more caring physician and staff. Dr. Beckenstein went above and beyond in every…read moreaspect of my care. He and the staff made me feel good about myself when I was at a low point in my life. I highly recommend Dr. Beckenstein for the care of anyone going through breast cancer. He is wonderful !!!!
