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.

Dr. Beckett changed my life
I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care I received from Dr. Beckett and his outstanding team during my spinal fusion surgery in January. From the moment I walked into their office, I was met with kindness, responsiveness, and a level of compassion that immediately put me at ease. Dr. Beckett's incredible talent and expertise were evident throughout the entire process, as he took the time to thoroughly explain every detail, ensuring I felt informed and confident in my decision. His ability to make complex medical information easy to understand was truly remarkable and greatly appreciated.The surgery itself was a life-changing experience. Thanks to Dr. Beckett's skillful hands, my sciatica and lower back pain have completely vanished, allowing me to embrace life with a newfound sense of freedom and comfort. The post-operative care provided by his team was equally impressive, as they were always available to address any concerns and offer support during my recovery. I

Outstanding Surgeon
After a year of icing and sciatica pain, I just completed lower back, minimally invasive scope surgery with Dr. Joel Beckett at DISC surgery center. The outpatient surgery went well, and there was immediate pain relief with no complications. The brand-new surgery center is state of the art and Dr. Beckett and his entire staff were incredible. Many doctors at his level are always in a hurry, but this was not the case at my initial meeting with Dr. Beckett. I was impressed how much personal time he spent detailing every aspect of my problem and how the surgery would benefit me. I have 100% confidence in Dr. Beckett and his team and would encourage anyone who is suffering through back pain to contact him.

Total spinal fusion for s-scoliosis condition
I had surgery on September 6th 2023 for s-scoliosis, total spinal fusion and 41 staples later it's a miracle!! It's been a long journey and lots of rest. But Dr. Beckett gave me my life back! Now I can walk a mile without sitting! And I can stand and play my guitar with my strap on! These are things I couldn't do at all. I'm so very impressed with his focus, he laid out completely what to expect and how difficult it would be in the beginning, so I was prepared to meet the challenge. I can say anyone with severe scoliosis, don't be afraid, yes it's tough and a long recovery but the reward is you can have your life back! Thanks again Dr. Beckett for giving me this gift.

Great surgeon with great outcomes
I originally saw Dr. Beckett due to severe and debilitating nerve pain stemming from a herniated disc at the L4-L5 level. Dr. Beckett immediately prescribed an MRI and subsequent microdiscectomy all within a short period of time. The surgery was a huge success as the pain was completely eliminated and my recovery is proceeding accordingly to plan. Dr. Beckett was patient and clear all along the way and has always made himself available to answer questions and explain things to me whenever necessary.

He changed my life!
I had a previous spinal surgery that was no longer working. I was in terrible pain, couldn't stand up straight and had to use a walker to get around. My original neurosurgeon didn't want to operate on me again. His answer was to insert a pain pump. But, my back was getting increasingly worse at a rapid rate and I was already taking 9 pain pills a day. Dr. Beckett looked at my xrays and said, "Sure, I can fix that." And he did. After surgery, I am now out of pain, take no medications and can walk upright without any walking devices. I highly recommend Dr. Beckett. He's my hero!
