I HAVE BEEN A PATIENT OF DR. BEERS FOR 20+ YEARS. I CONTINUE TO SEE HIM EVEN THOUGH I LIVE OVER AN HOUR'S DRIVE AWAY FROM HIS OFFICE. THE REASON? HE'S A GREAT CARING PHYSICIAN. I WOULD GLADLY RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE.

I have worked with Dr. Beers as my PCP for almost 35 years. He is an excellent doctor with great communication skills including, but not limited to a great sense of humor. We discuss- when relevant- best evidenced based research from a collaborative perspective. He is well informed about a wide range of medical and/or other subjects. Legacy and his patients is/are fortunate that Dr. Beers is still working.

I have never had a poor experience with any associate at Legacy. They are always friendly, efficient and get me checked in and ready to go. I really appreciate staff getting me (on short notice) to see Dr Beers for injuries from an auto accident last May. Staff got the insurance info from the person who collided with us for billing my accident out quickly. Thank you everyone.

This office could be so much better if it ran on time. Everything is usually late. Can also be very difficult to get an appointment. Put the blood draw option back in the clinic. There should not be a requirement to have an office visit to refill a prescription. It might be easier to get an appointment when you need ift if there were not done many unnecessary required visits. This comes across as just a way to charge more money than to offer better care.

Dr Beers was great. But the exam room was icy cold and there's no blankets available. I had an EKG done and shivered through it all. After Dr Beers was done, the physicians assistant didn't return to give me directions and I sat in the exam room long enough that I finally stepped out to see if they forgot me. The doctor also said I would pick up a heart monitor the same day, but found out at the desk I would need another appointment. Just seems to be a lack of continuity of care.

I, as a pediatric medical provider have never seen an annual wellness exam being done by asking questions only; If I had not asked for Dr. Beers to check my ears for a possible cerumen impaction or ask for a pelvic and pap smear, I would have not been touched!!!! What about the person who has a melanoma or precancerous mold on the skin that they cannot see, a lump in the breast and no mammogram was requested? I, as a provider would have done the whole spectrum of S-O-A-P and a thorough examination. I have an Ophthalmologist for the glaucoma issue, a dentist for the dental needs, and I stay on top of my health by asking questions on MY RECORD. The time has changed, I know, but an annual P.E. Where you onlyl have a Q and A time together? Is this the new standard, usual and customary way an annual P.E. Is done? Dr. Beers was always one who took the time to ask, share and examine my body, at least look into the ears and listen to the chest for any cardiac symptoms, but not this time. What is happening? I felt somewhat insulted to have an annual P.E. Via Q/A only. This is the new standard of doing a P.E.? I would never bill an insurance company the billing rate for a total P.E.after dping a NO TOUCH, Q/A exam. I actually received a report of one of the providers that Dr. Beers referred me to for a right hip wound and he listed the total exam being done (HEENT/NECK/CR/ABD/EXTREMETIES/REFLEXES, etc. And he never touched me. He pulled down the dressing on the wound and inspected the drainage, but never touched me. I was appalled and insulted to have this NO TOUCH physical exam. I am being honest and sincere in all that I say.

Dr. Beers is the best! He easily cites evidence from medical literature when answering my questions (eg, regarding sleep, as well as how Losartan and Carvedilol work). He listens, is supportive and builds on my strengths! (Give him a raise!)

Hopefully, Legacy will continue facilitating Dr. Beers training next generation of health providers as he is a great model to follow. He is a terrific MD with great communications skills and a very wide range of specific medical/scientific skills. He has been my PCP since around 1986-87; I am very grateful for all his care.

I do not recommend any product or service. I will tell others my experience and let them decide if the product or service is for them.My visit went well with Dr Beers. He ordered an A1C blood test and a 4th Covid shot. Then I sat and waited. After 30 minute wait (it Is now 1115) I went to the nurses station and no body was there. I then went to the reception desk and asked how to find someone to do the blood test and give me the shot. They found a tech to complete those functions. A 1020 hr's appointment stretched to after 1200 hr's. I don't think that the nurses and techs checked to see that all the ordered tasks were complete before going to lunch. I had to send me copes for a noon appointment. I think planning 90 min in my schedule for routine medical care should be enough.

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.
