Dr. Steven J. Becker, DO 13930 Seal Beach Boulevard, Seal Beach, CA 90740

"My mom was assigned to Steven by her insurance; however, when I called to schedule a first appointment for my mom, the receptionist rather rudely stated that they do not accept my mom's insurance. It made me wonder why they are listed with that insurance. I do not know how good is the doctor, but he needs to get someone nicer to answer the call."

"To date: My experiences with Dr. Becker and the majority of his staff have been stellar. I would recommend them to everyone. Definitely 5 star rating. The exception here is one person. Ashley. I can’t rate her individually on this service, so by splitting the difference, everyone has to be affected, unfortunately. I did my homework first and based on the information I received, placed a call to the office about a prescription that had not been filled. To be fair: The pharmacy gave inaccurate information regarding the prescription. Because of this and having had similar issues with office staff before, my overall tone was from the inconvenience of trying to solve the riddle of what was taking place and not directed at any individual. I left a message. I received a call back from Ashley initially stating the cause of the issue was not on their end. She continued to fill me in on the events she thought contributed to the problem. According to this info, it appears everything had started with the pharmacy. (Ok, now this makes sense) But, before I could comment, acknowledge or apologize for my prior intonation, Ashley says: “Next time don’t be so accusatory.” (Now I’m paying close attention to every word) “They lied to you and they lied to us and they didn’t even have the right information. So, you need to ..” I was pretty cool about the whole thing until I detected a rather self-righteous air about the manner in which she was speaking to me. I don’t argue with people over the phone and I certainly wasn’t about to get into it with her. I let her finish. I said, “Ok, bye.” and contacted the pharmacy who then sent proof that the issue wasn’t theirs. Proof I’ll gladly provide to anyone who asks. I don’t like liars and I’m easily annoyed by self-righteous, privilege. The worst of them though, is people who are in service positions that should not be. This is my opinion of someone who should probably be elsewhere and not dealing with the public at large."

"When my mother broke her hip I was fortunate to find Dr. Becker and blindly chose him as her primary physician. The quality of care and attention to her needs went far and above. Within two months I switched to have him as my primary as well. He is direct, thorough and listens to our concerns. After years of searching I finally found a doctor to whom I could relate and place my complete faith. Staff can sometimes appear standoffish but I attribute that to the amount of work they have, the constant phone calls, and often unappreciative patients. Overall, nothing but kudos."

"Staff is rude and inept. Staff was very quick to dismiss me do to their incompetence to clarify insurance enrollment. So MY whole day was a waste. Waited 30 days for my first visit just find out at the last minute they screwed up! Picture of Dr. Becker is not reflective of his actual demeanor. Quite the opposite. Cold and unwelcoming. It reflects on his staff. Same attitude. My attempt to enroll left me wondering if this had to do with my skin color or name. It was really disheartening that they just didn't care."

"I do not believe there is a better doctor around! Dr. Becker heard the same complaints from me that several doctors had over a few years. they shrugged me off, Dr. Becker listened, tested, found the issue and I now not only feel better but my overall health seems to be improving as well. He has always been very attentive with me and seems more caring than any doctor has in years. He is easy to talk to, I could go on and on. His staff has always been very helpful (even when you can tell they are very busy) I would not change from this doctor for anything."
