Total hip arthroplasty done in late February, great recovery, very pleased with the results and with the Doctor/Patient relationship. So much so that a family member will be seeing him for a shoulder issue. read more

He did a revision replacement on my knee and when I went back with some pain and concerns he basically washed his hands of me and told bone of the issues I was having in the knee he just replaced were nothing to do with him. Keep away from him! read more

I saw Dr. Becker on a Tuesday for a consultation on a surgery. I was told I would be contacted in a day or two by a person who would schedule the date of the surgery. After three days, I was contacted, but not to schedule the surgery. No. They told me that Dr. Becker was no longer with the practice and I would have to start over with the entire process of getting surgery. This man just dumped all of his patients and quit the practice he worked for with no notice. This is completely unethical as he left hundreds of his patients out to dry -- those with scheduled surgeries and all others. I was told by another doctor that Pennsylvania requires six months notice from a doctor who is going to bail on his patients, but this man didn't even give one day -- he just walked out. It makes you wonder what happened or what he did to cause something so drastic. I had to find a different surgeon, but I feel so sorry for the numerous patients who had already planned their lives around a scheduled surgery date. I had to pay twice for everything to start over again, so I imagine it was the same for everybody else who had to find a different surgeon at the last minute. When Dr. Becker returns to practice sometime, somewhere else in the future, stay away. Don't trust him. read more

Dr. Becker is great! He takes time to listen and helps find a solution to your orthopedic problems. He's done 3 surgeries on me including a knee replacement and they all turned out great. He also treated my mom and was always so kind to her. She adored him and after she passed away Dr. Becker said he was glad he could provide her with some pain relief while she was alive. I trust him so much. read more

Horrible surgeon who was more concerned on how fast he could perform a surgery then he he was concerned for his patient. I have been permanently disabled since the age of 44 after he performed a hip surgery which another surgeon had to correct his sloppy work. read more

I loved Carl Becker and he did a wonderful job on replacing my hip on my good leg ( other leg had Polio in 1950). He did disappear after my surgery and no one can tell me where he is. I would like to thank him for great job. I was disappointed that he wasn't there for check-up. I have other doctors and they have sent me a note to tell me they are leaving a practice. I did have a dentist for 35 years and he left without notification. Rita C. read more

I had two partial knee replacements a year a part. First one was FANTASTIC, or i thought! woke up with no pain from a nerve block, they used tape, no staples. second one a year later was Horrible! It only took 29 min, becker didn't want to wait for a nerve block, so i woke up in SEVERE pain, and he used staples which left a horror movie scar. Within a week, my kneecap dislocated, saw another DR, only to find out that my kneecaps are misaligned! Most likely going to need more surgery. My advice, go elsewhere! read more

I had to have a total knee replacement in February, after the surgery I had issues straightening my leg from the day after. Tons of pain on a daily basis, I begged him for other options at 4, 6, 8, 10 weeks until I went back to Rothman where they put me back in surgery immediately to manually manipulate and scoped the scar tissue out. Till this day I am dealing with consistent pain, leg stiffness and inability to do things I was prior to Dr. Becker's surgery on my knee. Completely dissatisfied. read more

Dr. Becker was very efficient and did a great job with my shoulder, hip replacement and knee replacement. Very skilled!

In 2013 I had TNR on R knee. With 18 months of pain and being told I had edema and even was given a boot. Dr Becker kept taking x-rays during appt and saying your a sweller. I was sent home with oxycodone but had flagged allergies and codine was one. I called about wrong med and was told just to take 2 extra strength Tylenol every 12 hours. If you've had a knee replacement you know that doesn't touch the pain. I went for 2nd opinion and test were done and found the bottom part of the replacement was loose. I had to have another TNR. That doctor knew what he was doing. I've heard numerous people talk about bad surgeries with Becker that had to be redone in Hershey due to appliances the wrong size being put In. read more
