Dr. Alejandro Betancourt, MD

Haven't seen him yet. Been trying to set an appointment for the lasat 3 monhs'

BEWARE... This guy operated on my father-in-law

No bedside manners at emergency, could not understand him even after I asked again, he didn’t care, follow up was a month and a half later, again just a number and he doesn’t seem to care. Only one parent allowed so if one doesn’t understand him, he doesn’t care.

After my spinal fusion I was told it would be three months to feel relief. After 6 months he said a year. Every time I called his office I was told no appointments were available and was referred to the emergency room. After 9 months of pain I went to get evaluated by a doctor in Houston and another in Austin. Both said the wrong hardware was used in my back and a screw was floating around. I had to have a second spinal fusion to correct what he did. Doctors said it was surprising that I was still walking. All this at the age of 32. Stay away from this doctor.

Called about 10 times and they never answer.

Dr. Betancourt was amazing! My father had two hematomas and Dr. Betancourt saved his life. A gifted surgeon and an excellent doctor! Despite his busy schedule- he works at two hospitals- he took the time to clearly walk me through each step of my father’s issue. Without that guidance I could not have made some very difficult decisions the morning of my father’s surgery. I also found his bedside manner terrific: confident and jovial. I can’t recommend Dr. Betancourt enough, if you or a family member are seeing him for a neurological issue, you could not ask for better care.

My dad had surgery with Dr. Betancourt back in March. He explained the surgery to my mom and sister and after the the surgery, he came out and told my mom and sister that the surgery went well. Unfortunately, that was the last time we saw or heard from Dr. Betancourt. My dad was discharged from the hospital and still has his staples from the surgery in his head. My dad's hospice nurse is the one that has to remove them. I can't believe how unprofessional this dr has been. Not even checking up to see how my dad is doing. We definitely do not recommend him at all.

Dr. Betancourt is an excellent Dr I will say he is a miracle Dr I was about to become paralyzed of a broken spinal he subjected an operation with only a miracle of GOD would work and the miracle happen I’m walking

Very competitive and knowledgeable staff. The Dr takes time to explain and listen your questions and needs.

My husband had back surgery this past June. He is worse and Dr. Betancourt has taken no interest in trying to help him. They take forever to answer the phone when calling the office. And when you finally get thru you’re asked to please hold, again! I would definitely NOT recommend them.

Took 2 months to get an appointment with Dr. Betancourt. On 2/17/20 my husband had his appointment and I took off from my work to take him to the appointment. I was called the day before to remind us of his appointment and for him to be sure and bring his insurance cards. I told them we would be there. Appointment was at 3:30, got there at 3:15, stood in line with about 5 other people, and when my husband got to the window to tell the lady at the desk his name and date of birth, she casually said that the doctor wouldn't be there. Everyone in line was upset. My husband stated that they could have called to let us know that, and the lady was unconcerned. If he was the last doctor on this earth we would not go to him. Completely un ethical behavior, worst office staff in Harlingen!

You have to wait for hours at the office and most times he will not even show up. Been going through one test after the other and still don’t have diagnosis. He will not check in with you before or after procedures. You have to wait for months to get refill for medications or appointments for tests. Office staff usually don’t know what’s going on or when he’s showing up or if he even was in the office

I have a lumbar Surgery with Dr Betancourt, with excellent results, but I mess up the Surgery when I get into a pool, messing up my Surgery. Dr Betancourt is a great Surgeon, dedicated to his patients.

" possible" spine surgery. However, during the time I spent talking to him, he dozed off 3 times! Scary!!! reception incredibly hot...see . , . experience. ,

Dr betancourt did surgery on me and now I am getting seizures and paralysis.I use to be able to walk 5 miles a day and I'd still have medication leftover.mow after he did surgery I was in recovery and had a surgery then i was paralyzed for days but the dr said it was me pretending and after that he dissmissed me from his care and said it was diabetic nerve damage.I've never had diabetes.this dr is a fraud and only does the surgery for insurance purposes.I needed another surgery on another 2 disc

He did not help me and will not take time to release me to the doctor my family physician wants me to see. Very lacadasical in response to patients.
