Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Suz in Great Neck, NY – Dec 04, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Belmont?
Demeaning, combative and went out of his way to humiliate me. I traveled 150 miles for his opinion about my longstanding, life-altering symptoms. I'm a lawyer, my husband (who was with me) is a dr and I don't take any pain or psychiatric meds, yet he treated me like an attention-seeking hypochondriac. Dismissed all symptoms or findings as "lab error" or due to "aging" (I'm 44) and asked if I'd be "upset" if he told me I don't have an autoimmune condition. Suggested I "want a disease."

What could be improved

  • Appointment was rushed
