TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR PATIENTS
This has been an Incredible surgery and recovery process. Neurosurgeon Dr. Beckett is exceptional, one of a kind in diagnosis, surgical skill and communication; It was an honor to be cared for by him and his entire team. I have had immediate relief from a tough- long-standing injury. Dr. Beckett’s team, including Brian Sorto DNP, Cat Gonzalez and the staff of the in house surgery center made my surgery and recovery a smooth and seamless experience. I recommend Dr. Beckett highly and his surgical and office team.
Before and after. All the nerve pain is gone!! Thank you Dr. Beckett!!
After more than a year of debilitating pain in both arms, I had given up many daily activities. Dr. Beckett carefully explained the issues in my neck and how disc replacement could help. He reviewed my imaging in detail so I understood the treatment plan. Six weeks after surgery, my symptoms are gone and I’m back to the activities I love. I’m deeply grateful for Dr. Beckett and his compassionate team.
Artificial Disc Replacement
Dr Beckett is an especially skilled doctor and surgeon. He takes the time to explain things thoroughly thus managing patient expectations. I went into surgery with 1000% trust which made the entire experience pleasurable
After a year and a half of severe nerve pain in both arms, I was referred to Dr. Beckett for C5–C7 disc replacement. He explained the diagnosis and treatment clearly and helped me feel confident moving forward with surgery. The results have been outstanding. Dr. Beckett and his entire staff showed exceptional care and compassion throughout the process. I would trust him with any member of my family.
C5-7 Disc Replacement
Dr. Beckett and his entire staff are thee best. I am in my six month of recovery from my L4/L5 surgery and it has been as good of an experience as I could have hoped for. Dr. Beckett, Brian Sorto and Cat Gonzales were always there to help and support me any time I would reach out. Dr Beckett is never in a rush and I always felt I was being heard. I hope I never have to go through another back surgery, but if I do, there is no one I would rather have taking care of me.
L4/L5 Surgery
Deciding on a surgeon is always scary, but putting your trust in someone to operate on your spine is honestly terrifying. I spoke with a couple of surgeons about my case, but after my first consult with Dr. Beckett, I knew he was the right choice. Even over Zoom, it was clear to me that he wasn’t just a gifted surgeon but also an exceptional person.
