Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

FANTASTIC
I do not usually leave reviews but Dr Bekley is a FANTASTIC skilled surgeon

Where Is His Superhero Cape?
This man should be wearing a superhero cape as my life was saved by his skillful hands and mind.I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer (highly aggressive and invasive) in November of `23. Akin Beckley, MD was the only breast oncology surgeon in the region that I came across who was willing to modify a tight surgical schedule to get me in before my prognosis would have worsened. I told him that I was 'desperate' to have the tumor removed and kept getting the neoadjuvant chemo run-around from other practices as well as 'We can see about getting you in January of `24'. January?! He remarked that I am being REASONABLE in wanting immediate excision. His semi-soliloquy to himself: 'I am going to help this woman' ' and he did exactly that, operating on me before Christmas, with a superb bedside manner and a winning smile.He made sure my parents understood what was to happen during the double mastectomy and he even made an effort to speak with my 10-year-old about her though

Awesome Physician
I had chronic recurring appendicitis and looked at reviews for surgeons ultimately choosing Dr Beckley. I am so glad I did! He is extremely intelligent as well as caring enough to walk me through my MRI and answer a question on email. He performed the surgery and everything went perfectly. Stop looking this man knows what he is doing. He was the only surgeon of the few I went to that actually showed me my MRI results and saw that my appendix had a growth of sorts (mucocele). No one else saw that. He is patient, very humble and friendly.

Terrific doctor
I was looking for a doctor for a minor surgical procedure--if you are also looking for a general surgeon to perform minor surgery, who is recommended by their peers; who is competent and has performed your particular issue before; who listens well; who is compassionate and doesn't make you feel rushed or that they don't really have time to diagnose your problem; who has a wonderful sense of humor; who makes you feel comfortable throughout the procedure; who has a lovely staff--then Akin Beckley is for you. He is terrific.

I was incredibly impressed by Dr. Beckley. I went to him to diagnose a hernia and not only was he personable and caring but he sat down and answered every question I had without rushing me. I feel very comfortable with Dr. Beckley and will be scheduling my surgery with him. Also his front office staff was wonderful and helped me navigate the very complicated financial side of this surgery as well.

5 stars are too few for Dr. Akin Beckley and his team. His staff is both courteous and efficient. They schedule appointments, send reminders, provide comprehensive summaries in writing, and have a very user friendly website. Dr. Beckley is remarkable. With a warm and compassionate demeanor, he provides a thorough examination and an easy to follow full analysis of the patient’s options for treatment. You know he is on your side and will answer any question and listen and respond to any concern. It was altogether the best medical experience in my long life.

Dr. Akin Beckley performed surgery for my mom, and I will say that nobody could have done a better job. Breast cancer is a scary thing but even more frightening in the very beginning, when one has numerous questions and there is a daunting amount of information to process. Dr. Beckley's office was cognizant of this - all the staff in Dr. Beckley's office was so respectful and accommodating and they were able to get us in very quickly. Dr. Beckley was thorough when explaining the surgical process to us, but his competence and intelligence aside, he was understanding of my family's specific needs. English isn't my mother's first language, so we worked to have interpreters there. When that wasn't possible, he took time out of his busy schedule and called me to give me a summary of what he had discussed with my mother - just to make sure that my family had all the right information. He personally stopped by after my mother's surgery to make sure she was doing well and held my mother's

Dr. Beckley and his team recently performed a routine groin hernia repair. The pre-op and post-op visits were informative and understandable and it was very quickly obvious that he has performed many hundreds of these procedures. Surgery went fine and our anesthesiologist at Foothills was also great.

The whole team at Alpine Surgery is fantastic. They are always welcoming and friendly. Dr. Beckley is exceptional. He is friendly, knowledgeable, takes his time to explain things and makes you feel important. Most importantly, he takes the time to actually listen to you and your concerns. He is the first surgeon that I have EVER had that suggests other options and not just assumes that you need surgery. I highly recommend him and the whole office staff.
