Our physicians are experts and great people too!
Meet Dr. Dave Beck, FACOG, the March 2016 Provider of the Month. Dr. Beck is Board Certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and joined the medical staff in 1994. He attended medical school at Rush Medical College in Chicago, IL and completed his OB/GYN residency at USC/LA County Women's Hospital in Los Angeles (University of Southern California), and at Rush Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center.
Dr. Beck was always interested in science while in high school, and knew he wanted to be a doctor by the time he was ready to attend college. He chose obstetrics and gynecology because it combined his passions for surgery and family medicine, with the added bonus of delivering babies. He was looking for a small town practice, and feels incredibly lucky to have been recruited to Gillette after his residency.
The ability to develop personal relationships with his patients has kept him energized over his 22 years in practice. He feels that the uniqueness of living in Wyoming has kept medicine fun and fulfilling. In other areas of the country an OB/GYN may see 10 patients per hour while he sees two.
Dr. Beck and his wife Niki have two sons, Zach and Rick. Zach plans to attend the South Dakota School of Mines this fall and Rick is finishing high school. Dr. Beck's whole family; parents, sister Dorie and brother all relocated to Gillette over the years.
The family loves to travel, hike and enjoy winter sports. And, according to Dr. Beck, his wife's menagerie is now down to only two dogs and four horses, plus chickens, cats and other assorted animals.
Thank you Dr. Beck, for providing our patients with excellent care.
