when I moved to the area I met Dr. Beckman socially at first as his kids went to same church and school as my children.
Going to someone you know socially is sometimes tricky. Dr. Beckman, while a friend, is extremely professional and knowledgable. I am surprised to see that he has stayed in the area as I am sure he could make much more money in a more affluent area. I would consider him to be one of the areas best.
