t has taken me a long time to write this review. Dr. Beckerman was a doctor me & my family went to for years. He was always nice, a jokester, easy to talk to. I can write a 10 page essay about him on my review and how poorly he recently misdiagnosed me. VERY LONG story short, he diagnosed me with SMA syndrome (one of the most RAREST DIGESTIVE DISORDER -- look it up, it doesnt even have a freakin webMD page its that rare) for no reason other than I had 1 or 2 symptoms related to SMA (nausea, throwing up, weight loss -- also related to MANY OTHER DIGESTIVE DISORDERS) I canceled my business trip, went to 4 surgeons who told me that having surgery was NOT advised because if I had SMA, I would be basically hospitalized because of the severe pain, I would be emaciated and I wouldnt be able to digest any food. Which none of the above was happening. When I went back into his office telling him that the surgeons needed more tests to prove that I had nothing else going on (example - stool test, breath test, MRI, doppler test) he said it was not needed and I needed surgery. I told him, well, the surgeons wont give me surgery...what if this was your daughter what would you do? He responded with "well thats why I dont have any daughters" I left his office, found a new GI would gave me all the needed tests & treated me with THE MOST COMMON DIGESTIVE DISORDER. Unfortunately, since I was misdiagnosed for so long, and suffered months throwing up, in and out of hospitals, losing tons of weight, taking so many medications, my stomach has irreversible damage and I may have chronic issues all my life because of Dr. Adam Beckerman. Funny thing is, I was going to wait a bit longer to write this review, but as I was getting my nails done today, I saw his mugshot on the news for not paying his taxes. Karma is a B**** baby

I was pleased that Dr. Beckerman took me with 2 days notice. While I was concerned that my chart was not viewed as part of the intake, he seemed competent and caring. I arrived early but did not have to wait as I was taken right in. It was agreed that a test would be performed. Its not been almost two weeks and I have not received an authorization for the test or had any communication regarding any problem. I called the office, and after a lengthy recording, was hung up on twice. Someone answered the third time and put me on hold. After 11 minutes, I called back only to hear a recording that the office was now closed - which is three hours earlier than what the message stated. I called the service, and after an even longer message, was hung up on. The second time, and hearing the same long message, I was put on hold for 4 minutes and then told to call back the office because they are not really closed. So I call back, and after a lengthy message, they did not pick up the phone but again provided the service number by message. I understand that doctors and medical facilities are expected to perform to high standards and perhaps dont earn the proper amount for their services. But I have a firm belief that medical care for the average citizen is a miserable proposition, however, because access to care is difficult. There should be procedures in place to request authorizations for tests, availability to speak to at least a receptionist, and a phone system that does not misstate office hours or otherwise can be used to communicate with the office. Perhaps the office should invest in an email address or fax machine to allow for communication when the phone system does not work. I firmly believe the doctor will treat me competently, but as a patient, my experience with the office staff was less than expected.

Dr. Beckerman takes his the time to talk to you one on one concerning your ailments, His office staff is always there to help as well. I love going to him he makes me feel very comfortable.

Dr Beckerman is probably the most professional and communicative doctor I have ever been to. I wish my other doctors were as comforting to visit.

Dr. Beckerman has a calm and reassuring bedside manner. One of my favorites.
