My experience with Dr. Beck was very unique. I’m the type of person where I have to feel a connection or just something in order for me to proceed with anything I do. With Dr. Beck all I can say is I felt “IT”. I was going for a top surgery consultation and to be quite honest I was nervous. Being in the LGBT community you find doctors to be assholes and just flat out rude and you feel just almost like you aren’t human. So I was really nervous on how he was going to approach my situation. Once I walked through the doors the ladies up front were more than welcoming. They make you feel normal and welcomed, which for me was a huge factor because I’m not open about being trans. So I went back and put on the blue vest and yes it’s weird having a doctor look and touch your chest, BUT the way he made me feel was very comfortable and normal. The biggest thing for me was he listened. I can’t stress that enough. I went to see 2 other doctors besides Beck and I knew once I met with him that he was that one. He had comparison pictures of someone who was the same age as me and the same fair skin. He explains everything so thoroughly that you feel like you know exactly what’s going to happen. For me, like most trans men, we want to have the keyhole surgery. As you know it’s rare and most people have to have double incision. I expressed how I felt about that to him and he listened. He understood how I felt about the scars and how I really didn’t want my incision to connect. So he did exactly that and that right there is everything you could ask for in a doctor. He looks like a hard ass don’t get me wrong, but he’s really caring, understanding, passionate, and believe it or not very loving. I highly recommend Dr. Beck over anyone in this area. He doesn’t take the easy way out like most doctors, Dr. Mossor, and makes you feel normal. I absolutely love Dr. Beck and I’m not too fond of people haha so trust me he is the right guy for the LGBT community.
