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.

Excellent surgeon
Dr. Becker operated on my right hernia in 2016 and just did my left in 11/2023. Told me what to expect. Very caring and efficient both operations full recovery, overall excellent surgeon and communicator.

The BEST surgeon!!!
Dr. Becker is the absolute BEST surgeon anyone can ask for! He’s kind, compassionate, empathetic, patient, & extremely thorough! I was so nervous going into surgery to have my gallbladder removed, but he calmed my nerves right away! I had a whole list of questions & he took the time out to answer every single one. His secretary, Annie, is also the best!! Anything I needed, before or after surgery, she was always there! My surgery went really well & I'm so grateful to have found Dr. Becker. I highly recommend him, he’s just simply the best!!

Dr. Becker is the kindest, most compassionate and empathetic Doctor I Have ever known. He listens to what you have to say and has a wonderful, low key personality and never frightens you. He is calm, down to earth and just amazing, just like an old friend. I have had him for 3 emergency surgeries and I never would want any other surgeon work on me....You feel like you are his only patient and get extremely good care both physically and mentally. He is just the best for most surgical procedures especially emergency surgery and planned surgeries..

Personable, caring, and excellent. My gallbladder got very inflamed quickly and had a severe attack. Dr Becker saw me the day after I called and managed to do surgery the day after that, laparoscopically, even with the inflammation. Aces!

I had a great experience with Dr. Becker. He saw me quickly and was easy to reach through the whole process. He calmed any nerves I had about going into surgery for my Gallbladder and got it scheduled very quickly. He did a fantastic job with surgery and was available for any questions. I would strongly recommend him to everyone!

I recently had my 2nd surgery by Dr. Becker. This time I was admitted to South Nassau Hospital and diagnosed with Klebsiella as well as a prior diagnosis of gallbladder stones. In my 2nd week at hospital, it was very much recommended to stabilize me for surgery. Dr. Becker checked on me each day prior to scheduled surgery date to see if my infection has improved. Dr. Becker did perform surgery on May 25th 2016 with success. Dr. Becker is a great guy and would highly recommend him to anyone!
