Basil R. Besh's Online Review Report Card

I just want to say - the staff and physical therapists are amazing, so they are not included in this review. The physical therapist actually corrected the doctor's initial misdiagnosis.Dr. Basil Besh is honestly one of the worst doctors I have ever seen. He rushes patients in and out of his offices and wouldn't let me fully explain what was going on with my arms. His attitude came off as arrogant as if he knew exactly what was going on before I could finish. Because of this, he misdiagnosed me with carpal tunnel and urged me to keep using my arms. Seeing as how I actually had a tendon injury, this was the exact opposite of what I should've been doing and it really prolonged the healing process (in which, it's been over a year and it's still not healed as of yet). I absolutely do not recommend going to this doctor, as he will just assume your issues and not actually help use his knowledge and care to really find out what's wrong.In addition to the above, you end up waiting for a minimum of 35 minutes to be seen by him only to be seen for seriously 30 seconds, not even kidding you. It's just rude.

Defining recommend as Dr Besh is truly “sightworthy” human being. He’s rude, unprofessional, unpunctual, arrogant and refusing to wear masks. He does neither seem to care about his patients nor like what he’s doing.

I’ve had a horrible experience with this doctor. He’s consistently at least 45 minutes late, doesn’t explain a diagnosis in laymen’s terms no matter how often you ask, and then rushes the appointment he was late for to begin with. To make matters worse, instead of informing me of my diagnosis and helping with a treatment plan, he berates you for not following his initial treatment plan (which is false). Stay far away - if you want someone who actually cares about his patients, go somewhere else.

I'm baffled by the number of positive reviews of Dr. Besh. I've had a horrible experience with this doctor. He's consistently at least 45 minutes late (I assume he double books to help pad his bottom line), doesn't  try to explain a diagnosis in laymen's terms no matter how often you ask, and then rushes the appointment he was late for to begin with. For today's appointment, he was 45 minutes late and then berated me for 2 minutes to complete the appointment and walk away. And I'm actually not exaggerating - the entire appointment lasted 2 minutes. Instead of informing me of my diagnosis and helping with a treatment plan, he berated me for not following his initial treatment plan (which was false - he never provided one except for a splint, which I did). For the diagnosis, he read off the technical diagnosis in my MRI report and nothing further though I asked a few times. The only positive is his staff who seemed sympathetic at least - perhaps they are used to these complaints. I have yet to see his therapists but I can only pray they're more personable than Dr. Besh.Stay far away - if you want someone who actually cares about his patients rather than his bottom line, go somewhere else.

Not recommendedDr.Besh is an angry and rude business man.Px care is not the focus of the practice.Front desk is not patient friendly,Cynthia is very arrogant and egoistic.No value of px time.1 hr wait is normal.After 1 hr wait Dr. Besh will examine you for 2 mint ,not even touching or examining the wrist of the patient.All the diagnosis and treatment is based on X Rays and MRI.Overall Very Bad experience.

I felt like all my concerns were answered and left with a sigh of relief my hands were in "good hands"

Dr. Besh had such high ratings that I traveled a distance to see him for my hand. The staff seems nice enough. I was told I first had to have x-rays before I would see him. His assistant was very friendly and took more information from me. The x-rays were on the computer with only a couple of the slides showing.I was told Dr. Besh would be coming in without a mask though the mask mandate was still in place. They enforce it in the office and building, but he would not wear one when seeing patients.When Dr. Besh came into the office, his demeanor was very aloof. He introduced himself and sat down. He asked what problem I was having, and he touched a painful point and diagnosed me with trigger thumb. He explained briefly what it was. I asked about another point on my other hand and was told it was arthritis. He never looked at the x-rays in my presence or discussed them with me. What was the point of taking x-rays if all he had to do was examine my hand?He said I should start with doing paraffin wax treatments along with physical therapy, ice packs and nsaids for 6 weeks before coming back to see him in 4 weeks.I didn't want to travel that far to use their physical therapists, so his assistant was nice enough to find the name of one closer to me. She then walked me over to the physical therapy area to get a paraffin wax machine. I was told insurance doesn't cover it, and I have to pay $40 for it. I later looked online, and I see the exact model for $24.99 at most places. I felt ripped off.After reflection, I've decided I will see another hand surgeon to follow up with. I can't see working with such a cold and disengaged doctor especially if I have to see him more than once. He may be good at what he does, but he appears to lack care for his patients.

Might be a good and knowledgeable doctor, but extremely unprofessional and stuck up.Have not seen a doctor more rude. was at his office twice and both times had to wait in the room for almost an hour for doctor to show up. When Dr. Besh actually showed up, and instead of apologizing for a delay started complaining that I only went to therapy once in over 1 month, when it was his office that could not get me referral to therapy. Once I mentioned a problem with his office scheduling and that it is not professional to be late for appointments scheduled, got an attitude from a.doctor that called his assistant without apologizing stated that patient is not happy with this office and send him to another doctor, got up and walked out of the room.

This is by far the worst doctor’s office. The should fire Marisa the front desk patient coordinator. She lied about my appoitment and didn’t even check my insurance. How are they finding those unprofessional staff? Poor communication. She doesn’t know how to check benefits 😄😄😄😄 wow, dong trust them with your time and don’t go to dr besh not an good doctor

Absolutely worst experience ever with a doctor! My 15-year-old daughter was having wrist pain(only). Our first appointment, he asked us many questions and did a one-minute exam on her wrist and concluded that she had an auto immune disease and needed to see an auto immune doctor. He told her that she has rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 15 with only wrist pain and no other symptoms. I made an appointment with the auto immune doctor, but it was 3 months out. My daughter was having anxiety over this diagnosis, so I asked her pediatrician for advice. The pediatrician immediately ran a full blood panel INCLUDING ALL auto immune and rheumatoid markers. My daughter had a thorough exam as well and the pediatrician said that there is no reason to believe that she has an auto immune disease with perfect bloodwork, perfect exam and only wrist pain.We went back to our 6 weeks follow up appointment with Dr. Besh and I explained to him the homework that we have done on her health while we waited for auto immune specialist appointment. He was OUTRAGED that we saw her female pediatrician and looked for some answers. He said to my daughter, you have an auto immune disease and by your mom not taking you to the auto immune doctor, your disease will not go away. Broadway (she is a performer) doesn’t care that you have a disease. My daughter started to cry. Dr. Besh then says, why are you crying? She says, because I am scared to have an auto immune disease. Dr. Besh says, crying won’t make it go away. You mother needs to take you to an auto immune doctor. He then says, as he slams the folder on the desk…I cannot help you until you see the auto immune doctor and I would be happy to sign your file to another doctor. While all of this was happening 3 nurses came in the calm/observe his behavior. The staff and nurses are nice, and I could tell that they were appalled at his behavior…at this point, we were both in tears. I could not believe the way we were being treated. Especially a child. It was a horrible, ugly, disrespectful experience that my daughter will never forget.We went to another wrist specialist who didn’t believe that it was an auto immune disease. He sent us to a neurologist who did a complete nerve and tendon test and confirmed that she had Carpal Tunnel syndrome. She recommends vitamin B6 300mg a day, wrist braces, rest and to set up an ergonomic distance learning desk. With 3 weeks, (after months of pain and many tests, doctor visits) she was feeling much better.In closing, Dr. Besh treated me and my 15-year-old daughter in the worst manner possible. He did not care for her wellness, pain and refused to listen to her. He was cruel and mean to a child and disrespectful to me who was trying to advocate for my daughter. That is not acceptable behavior for anyone let alone a doctor!! I feel like he let his ego get in the way of doing what’s best for my daughter. We never received an apology.
