Stephanie Becker, MD

Dr. Becker has an excellent bedside manner, and I needed it after another doctor basically said I was going blind from diabetes. He was thankfully wrong, and Dr. Becker put me at ease as soon as I entered her office. I was recommended by my wife, who runs group homes for epileptics. She has her clients see Dr. Becker because of the doctor’s patience and easy manner with these admittedly difficult patients (most of them have MR or other issues; it’s not their fault). Dr. Becker seems to like difficult cases, and not only volunteers her time to work from time to time in third world nations, but actually pays for the opportunity! I sent a friend to Dr. Becker who had been told that her cataracts were inoperable by another doctor, and Dr. Becker totally disagreed with that, and performed successful cataract operations on my friend, who has thanked me endlessly since. Highly recommended, for ability and pleasant demeanor.

Dr. Becker is a total sweetheart, and makes you feel like you’re important when she’s seeing you. She is straightforward and professional.
The receptionist is accomodating and schedules same day appointments if you need to.
When I first came here, her staff insisted that I have a full eye exam even though my other eye doctor had faxed over my chart. Maybe it was a misunderstanding, but I wasn’t told that I would be re-​examined again.
Also the wait for the doctor here is really long. Maybe it’s due to the large number of elderly patients that see her (seriously, I’m the youngest person there by 40 years!). You can expect to wait in the lobby at least a half hour even with a regular appointment.
