    I have been seeing Dr. Beck for more than 25 years. He is always engaging,thorough in my exam and answers my questions and my parents questions. His care is excellent, however, the Emory Eye center really does not need to triple book appointments. It was clear from the board in both waiting areas that at least 2 other individuals had appointments at the same time.

    Dr Beck took sufficient time to answer all my questions and explain the pros and cons of surgery. I love that he's a straight shooter and doesn't sugarcoat things. Living with advanced retinal disease is difficult and I know I will get to a point when surgery is not an option for me. We had a wonderful yet Frank discussion about my next steps. I appreciate him taking the time that was needed to discuss this in full.
