Dr. Helen Bellete, MD

Was given wrong diagnosis and medicine. Got worse until got a new doctor.

I work in a law firm do my work is very stressful and I do have anxiety and OCD. These symptoms had taken a toll on me for over a decade. I was misdiagnosed and given wrong medication through yhe VA and also through private doctors. My mental health really made a 180 after I met Dr Bellete. Her sensitivity,knowledge, experience and attention to detail nailed all my health issues. I am a NEW man and have not felt this way for over a decade. Highly truly recommend Dr. Bellete to anyone one with any psychiatric help they need.

There was no visit. They cancelled the appointment and rescheduled for three weeks later. Totally unacceptable.

I was a new patient of Dr. Bellette's when we discussed switching from one anti-anxiety med to another at my request. I was prescribed a newer medication, which gave me some pause since those usually cost more. I specifically asked if the co-pay on this med would be affordable, and I was assured twice that it wouldn't be more than $15. I began the transition to the new med, but was not instructed to wean off of the old med, which I had been on for more than three years. I found this strange at the time, but assumed she knew best. For 3-4 weeks, I was in a personal hell, my anxiety crept up to huge amounts, and I found it difficult to perform my normal job functions. About half way through this hell, I attempted to reach her and was told to "stick with it." No alternative options were given. I found out that I would have to pay $125 as a co-pay on this med, going forward. I tried many different avenues to reduce this, but got nowhere. Clearly, I wasn't going to stay on a med that cost t

Very nice person but did not have a great experience
