My experience with Dr, Becker was very negative. She misdiagnosed a staph infection, did a completely incompetent history compared to other NDs I have seen and was insulting and demeaning. When I didn't see results with the antibiotics she put me on and felt horrible, called her asking if I should go into the ER, she was so dismissive and rude. She also missed 3 different infections & didn't even bother with labs to confirm what I had. Later, I made an appt for acupuncture and she didn't bother to read what the appt was about, so sat there talking for 45 min and when I mentioned " What about the acupuncture?" she said that my time was up and blamed me. Unbelievable. I would never recommend her to anyone.

I had been sick for two weeks when I finally made an appointent with Maureen... 30 minutes for $48. Even though I was paying more than a dollar a minute for her, she up and left the exam room for 7 full minutes with no explanation. When she finally did come back to speak with me, she asked me NO questions about my medical history, did not delve into my symptoms, and did not ask questions about my personal life and habits. She performed a quick exam, mentioned something about it being viral, and then started to write me a prescription without telling me what it was. When I asked, she said it was an antibiotic (which should not be prescribed for viral infections) and I then had to ask her point-blank what it was that I was sick with (she was not going to volunteer that information to me). When I expressed that I didn't want antibiotics, she proceeded to try to sell me a Chinese medicine that was pretty much all alcohol. If she had asked questions about me (my life), she would know that I DO NOT drink alcohol. I tell her this and she laughs and says that once she "accidentally" gave this medicine to a woman who was alcoholic.



I was almost in tears by the time I left because I felt so confused and neglected. I called her a few days later to tell her to please not cash my check yet, that I want to speak with her about the treatment I received. She made no effort to return my calls to make the situation right, and cashed my check anyways.



I have never been so appalled by a health care provider and encourage anyone needing a doctor to look elsewhere.
