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.
