Beckers Dr M J

Nice people just terrible doctors. If you already know what's wrong with you the Beckers will happily dole out anything you request, but diagnosis is not their strong point. Over a period of 9 months and 4 visits to both Martin and Sue Becker they misdiagnosed my eye complaint repeatedly. Eventually my eye got so bad i took myself to Dorchester Hospital accident and emergency. When i arrivied they were shocked at the state of my eye and referred me directly to the royal eye institute, bypassing the normal doctors referral procedure. When i next visited the Beckers and suggested they misdiagnosed me on numerous occasions Sue Becker became indignant and agitated claiming her and Martin would support each other if i took the matter further. I would like to say this is an exception but having talked to others about my experience it seem many more people locally have had the same experience. So in conclusion nice people but terrible doctors

I have a neurological problem, one time I was visiting a friend who lives in Charmouth. I had a seizure in her house. My friend called Littlehurst surgery, the message was passed on to Dr Martin who was doing his home visits at that time. He was there almost immediately and was there while I was becoming conscious. This meant I didn't have to go to Dorchester A&E in an ambulance which is what usually happens. The Becker's do home visits to people who are to ill to make it to the surgery. My friend is very ill at present and they are always available. In my experience no Dr's are good at diagnosing all illnesses. For instance my Granddaughter died from TB. She saw three GP's and was taken to Bristol children's hospital three times! It was only on the final visit when she started to have seizures that it was taken seriously but by then it was to late.
