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.

Amazing Experience
Had an epidural procedure with Dr. Behr today. He started on time, is very congenial, making the experience so much more comfortable. I did not experience anything more than mild discomfort. Dr. Behr was highly recommended by other physicians and current patients. I will not hesitate to recommend him myself. The staff at Excelsior was amazing as well. My ride sat in the waiting room and commented how kind everyone was. 10 out of 10 thrilled with Dr. Behr!!!

Best pain manager ever.
Dr. Behr inserted pain relief electrodes for a test of SCS pain blocker. He is a very concerned, attentive and informative Doctor. Spartanburg will miss him when he moves.

Dr Behr was kind, attentive, and listened well. He explained my condition and test results in ways that I could understand. He presented my treatment options clearly but never pressed me to make a quick decision. He was not rushed and answered all my questions. I especially appreciate his professionalism and that It was laced with compassion. I also appreciate a physician who looks you in the eye when talking to you.

I have been seeing Dr. Behr for almost a year and he has always been amazing. In this day and age it is hard to find a dr that doesn’t dismiss you, and he listens to me. His office staff is caring and polite. He is hands down one of the best ortho docs in SC.

Dr. Behr has an excellent and compassionate manner. His PA, Kelley is honestly one of the best I've ever dealt with. His nurse Sonya handles issues that come up very efficiently. She has helped me communicate with difficult pharmacy staff more times than I can count. Highly recommend.
