Testimonials from Dr. Beals’ Patients

Craniofacial Procedures

We are very grateful to have Dr. Beals as our daughter’s surgeon. He did an absolutely amazing job on her cleft lip repair. The results were beyond our expectations. He has made a life changing difference in her life and ours.

Mother of Patient

My 18 year old son, Ryan, was born with a severe form of Goldenhar Syndrome coupled with a Mid-Line Facial Cleft. Ryan has additional special needs. He has had several reconstructive surgeries and we are fortunate Dr. Stephen Beals has been his surgeon.

Dr. Beals’ center has always been supportive, patient, and understanding of Ryan’s needs. For over 18 years, we’ve had positive experiences with Dr. Beals’ staff and they support his mission of improving the lives of people with craniofacial disorders. We associate with several professional doctors/surgeons and it is clear to me that Dr. Beals walks a different path. There is an obvious difference in the degree of commitment and compassion unique to Dr. Beals. I personally believe Dr. Beals understands Ryan as a person first and not just another patient who needs a surgery. Dr. Beals and staff have supported Ryan’s medical, social, and educational needs throughout the years because they have taken the time to understand what is important for Ryan and his future. His staff has also understood my visions and concerns for Ryan, too.

In summary, Ryan has benefited from Dr. Beals’ commitment to not only improve the function/appearance of his facial deformities, but to also enhance other facets of his life.

Dr. Beals, you are an amazing plastic surgeon and I can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for me. It’s been at least a year since my last surgery and I still look and feel amazing. Both me and my family are blessed to have you in our lives the past 15 years, and I would recommend you to anyone. I’ve never seen a doctor put as much time and energy into a patient the way you have and I truly can’t thank you enough.

Teenaged Patient

At our first meeting with Dr. Beals we knew our precious baby girl would be in great hands. He has handled all of our office visits in a very professional manner and provided support and information for our daughter’s cleft palate. Our little girl is approaching three months and her first surgery. We have all the confidence in Dr. Beals and his team as we approach her surgery. This is our first child and we entered this experience with fear of the unknown, but Dr. Beals’ support and care has given us assurance that our little girl is in excellent care.

Parents of Patient

When we first met Dr. Beals we were devastated by our daughter’s syndrome. We feared what the future held for her. We wanted our daughter to get the same opportunities as any other child. Dr. Beals provided us with hope we needed to be able to accept and help our daughter cope with her syndrome. Dr. Beals has performed all of Syerra’s plastic surgeries. We no longer fear the outcome of her surgery, we now look forward to them. He always keeps us informed on each step he plans to take with her care. I trust Dr. Beals because he treats our child with loving care. He is always there to offer a kind word to friends and family. He has touched all of our hearts especially that of our little girl who believes she is his most important patient. He is highly skilled in his field and together with his compassion and kindness he is the best.

Parents of Patient

We did not discover our son’s cleft lip and palate until he was born. We were totally uninformed about this condition, and completely unprepared and anxious on how to care for him. Dr. Beals and his staff answered our questions, eased our concerns, and provided us with a roadmap for the years ahead. Our son continues to benefit from his interdisciplinary approach to treatment. The doctors that we were referred to are of the same high caliber as Dr. Beals. We are very pleased with the results of our son’s lip/nose repair and extremely grateful for the excellent, responsive, and professional care that Dr. Beals and his staff provides to us.

Parents of Patient

Dr. Beals and his staff took the time to sit down with us before our child was born to discuss all the possibilities in what was to come. His willingness to speak with us at such an early stage helped put us at ease and began to build trust. Our trust and reassurance in his expertise continued to grow with each visit. One quality that has helped us through this very difficult time is the fact that we can call with any concern, and with each call someone takes time out of their very busy schedule to discuss our worries and help put us at ease.

Dr. Beals and his staff also took the time to form a relationship with our son, they have never looked at him as just another case or a study. We have always felt that they truly want what is best for him and have made his visits as comfortable as possible. We are truly appreciative for everything Dr. Beals and his staff has done for our son, and our family!
