I found Dr Beckles to be charming and very sympathetic to talk with. He eased my mind regarding my symptoms and provided good feedback and what options I should take next. Would very much recommend him and I only wish I'd met him earlier and we had gone to him for my father's care.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your feedback.

I feel very secure with Dr Beckles, who seems genuinely interested in finding out what is wrong with me, and has referred me to other specialists as necessary. His verbal explanations are really helpful, but the written ones less detailed. I would definitely recommend him. It is not possible to get directly through to his secretary on the phone and sometimes arranging appointments has taken a bit of time, but possibly this was de to the Christmas/New Year holiday
Thank you for your recommendation. I am sorry that you had difficulty getting through to the office. We had an answering service and a temp over the Christmas and New Year holidays. I do hope you are better.
