Providence Patient
My husband had lower back fusion surgery with Dr. Beck this spring. We were very comfortable and pleased with his surgery results and the great care he received from Dr. Beck and the entire hospital staff. When I started having my back issues mid summer, my primary Dr ordered an MRI and decided to refer me to a Neuro Surgeon. My choice was Dr. Beck. My appointment was to establish with him as a patient and discuss a plan concerning my back issues and future treatment. Our faith and respect for Dr. Beck shows when we drive from Great Falls to Missoula for our appointments.
Providence Patient
Dr. Beck is a true professional: he is an outstanding surgeon, thorough, friendly, knowledgeable, and direct. He explained the upcoming procedure In a way that I was able to understand without "dumbing down" the Information; and he delivered on his promises. What else should a patient expect?
Providence Patient
Dr. Beck is the BEST! He's done my spinal fusions and my neck. Now he's fixed my wrists, carpal tunnel syndrome. They're working like brand new!
Providence Patient
My prior concerns were met and satisfied very well
Providence Patient
Dr. Beck had reviewed my medical records, MRI, and CT scan. He was fully aware of my condition and symptoms. I asked about a surgical solution, and he clearly explained the option. He thoroughly answered all my questions. I left with a great deal of confidence in his knowledge and capabilities.
Providence Patient
He was very focused and to the point when it came to the exam, and recommendation for surgery. I liked that matter of factness and his confidence helped my anxiety of having back surgery.
Providence Patient
Kind and could feel that he are doing his best. Thank you!
Providence Patient
The follow up appointment after my surgery went well. The results so far, from my surgery are outstanding. I believe this is because of Dr. Becks' knowledge and skills.
Providence Patient
Made appointment with Dr. Beck because no one else has been able to solve the problem with my back. D I feel confident that Dr. Beck cam solve the issue. To do so Radiology has to agree to giving me an MRI. They don't w as nt to do it because I have a pacemaker. The pacemaker is MRI compatible. Hoping this will be resolved quickly.
Providence Patient
I'm pleased with all the providers that I've dealt with.
Providence Patient
Very good. Informative and helpful.
Providence Patient
Answered my questions very well & left feeling very informed. Thank you.
Providence Patient
He is great at his job (surgery) he has very poor social and bedside manner and makes the patient feel less. But knowing he is very knowledgeable in his practice makes the other still tolerable because you have comfort in knowing you are getting the best surgical treatment.
Providence Patient
My appoint was to talk about options for my back pain. Dr. Beck thought surgery was best and only option for permanent pain relief. I was hoping to discuss other options even though other options may not have been permanent.
Providence Patient
Dr. Beck is personable, knowledgeable and professional. He appears confident in his field.
Providence Patient
Knowledgeable. Accessible. Confident. Answered my questions. Adequately described the surgery.
Providence Patient
Dr. Carter E. Beck, MD, is in my opinion one of the finest doctors in his profession. I have been seeing him since 2018 and he has had to successfully operate on me eight (8) times due to degenerative spinal conditions. He has always taken whatever time I required for discussing my issues and has given me the finest care available at Providence St. Patrick Hospital. I have the absolute highest regards for his abilities and character and I have recommended him to other individuals in need of care.

Providence Patient
Dr Beck is kind, caring,and thorough.He sets the standard for all neurosurgeons.
Providence Patient
Dr. Beck does not mince words. He was very direct in his assessment of my back condition. No surgery as my MRI doesn't have any red flags, just normal wear and tear. But he has me coming back for injections and then a phone call to follow up. We will continue injections until one of them works that's the bottom line. Dr. Beck was my last-ditch effort after 6 + years of back pain. I needed to see a surgeon. Dr. Beck was excellent.
Providence Patient
Dr Beck is a great doctor. Personable and very clear with explanations about my problems. Did a great job on all my surgery's that he had done for me.
Providence Patient
Dr Beck helped assure me that I was doing well enough that my back did not need surgery at this time. I really appreciated this information, and it increased my resolve to do all my exercises and stretches and everything else that I can to stay in as good a shape as possible.
Providence Patient
All is good!
Providence Patient
With the exception of our primary care physician, all of our family health care providers are based in Missoula and specifically at Providence. We live in Helena, two hours away by car and it's worth the drive to receive the quality care provided by the physicians at Providence.

Providence Patient
Very professioal
Providence Patient
I was told by several people, if I needed back surgery, Carter Beck is the only one to do it and do it right.
Providence Patient
Dr. Beck was very nice. He has ordered additional imaging to review due to the fact that the previous images I had were poor quality. I appreciate his professionalism and care to detail in giving a proper diagnosis and care plan.
Providence Patient
Was seeing Dr Beck because the earlier neurosurgeon we saw in another town didn't demonstrate concern about my condition. When it got worse, I wanted a second opinion. Was very impressed with the out-of-the-box thinking Dr Beck demonstrated. Before doing surgery he recommended thorough evaluations by Ortho and rheumatology since my symptoms are atypical in some ways from the norm for what the diagnostic tests I have had this far.
