Christine A Becker, MD

First time meeting with Dr. Becker, and she is extremely personable and through in her exam. They have good mini lab on the premises, so they can handle some routine work there without aving to go to the hospital to have your labs drawn. She has a long-​time nurse an dthey know each other’s styles well, so the nurse can answer many questiosn without having to run out to ask the MD.
I felt like she was touching on what I needed to tell her, and she even ends the interview with a great summary and allows for you to discuss anything that may have not been covered in the standard interview.
Only drawn back for me is the outdated office, they do not do electronic records, which is not a big concern for me, but it may become an issue if you need your records to a hospital on the weekend.
FYI: She doen’t do GYN exams so you do have to go to a GYN specific MD for that.

I recently moved to Dallas and was referred to Dr. Christine Becker — my experience started out bad and got worse.
When I arrived I was told the nurse had called in sick, so the lady from the front desk was taking my vitals (seemed weird to me that a professional would not have used an ‘on call’ service that has nurses on call — but OK, it was just my blood pressure and temperature — anyone should be able to check those and make a notation for the doctor.
When the Dr came in to talk with me, I was a first time visitor — she sat me in a chair and asked a lot of questions — but I thought it was weird that as we discussed things that bothered me she didn’t make any suggestions on how I could handle the issues — First I stated that I was in fairly decent health — but a few things I wanted her to look at: 1. Some rough or scabby places on my back and my legs. 2. Incontinence — yes, I am getting older and it happens to a lot of us — but happening a little more frequently 3. I had been nursing a cold — but now I still had a cough from the post nasal drip, not due to a cold. 4. Weight — I also stated that I had gained quite a bit of weight over the past 2 years — about 15 pounds…
Her response for item # 1. did not look for the scabby places I mentioned or even respond to the fact that I mentioned I had them, just made some notes as we talked. 2. Said that at my age _​_​_​_​_​_​_​is normal — didn’t suggest exercises or indicate there were things that could be done if it got worse. 3. Listened to my chest to see if I had any congestion in my chest — and told me that I did not — take some claritin for the post nasal drip. Then wrote me up to have a chest x-​ray. .. 4. No conversation on weight gain issues — did not ask me why, was there stress in my life, is there obesity in my family — nothing was asked or suggested.
Then the EKG lady came in — I felt this was also someone who worked in the file room or the front desk also — she rolled the EKG Machine into the examination room — but couldn’t get herself and the EKG machine in the room and close the door — she finally was able to close the door on the 3^rd try — small room, yes, but surely she had done this before??? She placed the sticky electrodes on me and ran the machine — showed the results to the Dr. and told me that I could remove them, unless I wanted her to. .. I never had anyone tell me to remove those before, but I went ahead and removed them myself.
I was told where to go for my blood work — not walked to the area as is done in most Dr’s areas — they don’t want people roaming the halls of the office.
I didn’t feel good about the professionalism and I did not feel the Dr. gave me any good suggestions or at times even heard what I said. I just thought this will be the last physical in her office.
However, I was really surprised when I got my lab results — no one called to explain what to do if your cholesteral or trigycerides were high — which they were — info just came in the mail — but the biggest surprise was that the Dr’s summary identified that I was FATIGUED and had RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS — neither of these were true!
I am turning this into my insurance and asking them not to pay this Dr’s fees — I will be seeing another Dr for a physical because I don’t feel that I can trust the results I got from Dr. Christine Becker.
