"I help patients of all ages with problems with the ear, nose and throat," said Becker. "The first step in the examination is to make the patient feel comfortable so they can explain their symptoms and concerns. I am a great listener and I believe in giving a patient the time and space they deserve. I am thorough in my exam, and take ample time to discuss and explain any tests, treatment plans and options I recommend. I stay involved in the whole process and encourage patients to ask questions. A thorough examination is the key to proper diagnosis and treatment. 'Passing' this exam leads to a better grade of health."
In her spare time, Becker enjoys cooking and spending time with her husband. For more information or to make an appointment, call (715) 361-4560.
