Dr Beers has been my PCP for 20 years. Through every health care provider change, my FIRST requirement was that my carrier be one that allowed me to remain In his care. His incredible wealth of knowledge has kept me alive when I absolutely should be dead.I have had a cascade of life threatening Illnesses, and under his care I am thriving. His habit of reviewing each patients health records that is seeing that day, is incredibly rare, and is very beneficial to his clients. He has called me at home, he has given up his lunch to see me immediately, he is the best possible physician. I have seen many healthcare providers in my life, including some excellent examples. None compare to Doctor Beers, he Is better at his profession at nearly 72, than many fresh graduates are In their 20s and 30s. As for reception, they are invariably kind and helpful. Even as the staff has changed over the years, the level of service has not. I also use the services of the Medication Management Team, they are absolutely wonderful. Lab services phlebotomists draw my blood very often, I have never had a bad experience with a blood draw. Even when I have had to have a second stick (my veins are scarred from years of chemotherapy), It Is painless.

Dr. Beers and I have worked together since [year removed] or so. He is very familiar with my complete medical history. A top professional, we often discuss the most medical/scientific findings relevant to a condition or concern. A very decent, genuine and empathic MD! I have never had any unsatisfactory experiences. He has been extremely helpful over many years right down to our mtg this week. He carefully explained my current concern/issue and related it to known medical history. Very helpful visit as was our last visit regarding possible hearing loss.

I have had good experiences with Dr. Beers and would recommend him to any friend or family. The only questionable treatment I ever had with this office is when I was diagnosed with Morgellons disease. I believe that I did not have enough of a medical background to fully understand Moregellons. Dr. Beers is the best doctor that I have ever seen.

Good experience did what I expected

Dr Beers and I discussed every concern I had at this time. Along with some other tests the doctor ordered for me, he also encouraged and reminded me that I am late for my mammogram. I will be getting it done soon with my other tests.

As expected, Dr. Beers established rapport immediately, listened to my health concerns (e.g., HBP), discussed with me a possible strategy, while sharing pertinent "latest research" info. He is friendly and professional.

I have known Douglas Beers, MD since around 1986-87. He is a very ethical and science informed MD. He is the best PCP/MD I have ever had. I have great respect for his outstanding care for a wide range of diverse individuals. Dr. Beers is always well informed regarding my medical history and we have a great working relationship. I have never had a bad experience with Dr. Beers. He was very supportive and science informed when I needed his help during a sharp rebound in major depression following a careful titration off Paroxetine with my psychiatrist, which unfortunately was not successful. Restoration of Paroxetine by my psychiatrist worked. When my psychiatrist became disabled by a stroke, Dr. Beers took over prescribing my psychiatric medications. Fortunately, for me, Dr. Beers is well informed in that regard (as am I given my career in mental health). I trust him 100%. He has been very supportive of my successful climbing experiences post retirement and gave me wise and informed advise regarding safer skiing and the need to avoid any closed head injuries.

The only area that bothers me is how charts are written up saying things I do not agree with. When at Emmanuel, for example, "they" wrote that I presented with "chest pain". That is not true and I specifically told them I had chest PRESSURE. Pain and pressure are two different things. I have noticed statements in my chart that do not reflect reality and that bothers me. I specifically asked them to change pain to pressure. I do not know if that is the case. In that case, by the way, they mentioned them putting me on nitro. I never even filled the script. When at Emmanuel they wanted to make me take a prilosec/lidocaine combo and a shot for DVT. They said it was preventative. I did not need that and it should have not been offered. The average patient would not know enough to decline. I was in medicine for 30 years and know. This sort of thing is aggravating. Dr. Beers, on the other hand, is a fantastic, knowledgeable, helpful, considerate, and good physician. Keep up the good work.

Best doctor I have ever had. Would not be alive today with him.

Everyone, from the front desk, doctor, and the entire medical team are above and beyond what he would expect in excellence. I just can't say enough good things or give a higher recommendation of one and all
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr Doug is without question the best doctor I have ever had. He genuinely cares for his patients, knows their history, carefully considers each possible diagnosis and follows through with after care and checkups. I wish that every doctor was as compassionate, considerate, caring and professional as he is. But he's one of a kind, and I am so fortunate to have him as my physician.

Visits are never on time in this office. I do not appreciate having to have an office visit with the DR just renew a perscription that I hav ebeen taking for years. It is a waste of the DR and my time especially when visits are mostly 45 minutes late.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr Beers is an ideal primary care doctor--personable, smart, open to questions about anything. My only issue this time around was an 18 month old charge popping up when I was checking in. Instead of looking into it (since it may have been a coding error), reception told me to call Billing who were helpful but not very adept at handling the issue and following up with me. General comment: the office is pretty drab (and not very comfortable) compared to other clinics at Legacy and elsewhere.

Have been a his patient for over 40 years and he treats me with respect and friend at the same time.

My wife dropped me off early and I was given a quite place to wait until the Doctor could see me. We talked about my condition and symptoms then the doctor did some tests on me and quickly came to a diagnosis.

Always excellent
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
The office lab closed early the receptionist didn't know how to get labs drawn due to prior covid scheduling. They could have called the hospital lab but instead said I could check. I went over and had my blood drawn quickly. I would have taken the receptionist a quick second to call the hospital I'd hope she would have done that for a pt who may have medical issues that would have made going to hospital more difficult luckily I work for legacy so know. She should have as well!! This was a newer receptionist not the usual people I'm familiar with who are generally very helpful ND knowledgeable.

The provider left the room before i had an understanding of how to treat a particular skin lesion and he had to be requested for a return visit to clarify the treatment needed, but did so after around ten minutes. He always i very thorough, but this time, somewhat hurried.

Dr. Beers always knows me by name, history, and family situation. He is the finest doctor I've ever had with the possible exception of my childhood physician.
Dr Beers has been seeing [name removed] for years. He has treated him like a regular person. Even though his disability keeps him from answering in correct way. Dr Beers has a unique special way he treats [name removed]. I wish all Internrsts and reg Doctors were the same.
