Dr Becker is a calming, caring, presence. He states his approach clearly so that the patient can determine whether that approach is in sync with their expectations. He is a dual-doctor, so obviously super-smart. He provides an environment in which honesty is encouraged and explored.

I've only had one appointment so far, but already I can tell that Dr Becker is a true professional and a great person. He was calm and kind, and asked all kinds of detailed questions that I wouldn't have expected to be asked, but that showed his attention to detail in all of the little things that make us who we are and could have some kind of effect, however small or large, on our mental health, self image, and behavior. He took more time with me than was booked and even gave me the opportunity to ask him questions as well, to make sure it's a good fit for me. He was not eager to jump to medication as the answer, and seems like he has a balanced approach in mind from the start. He exceeded my expectations in almost every way and I'm greatly looking forward to continue working with him.

This was only my first visit with Dr. Becker, but it was a good one. He was easy to talk to and seems like a very reasonable and logical individual that I will continue a relationship with going forward.
