Dr. Alfred Belen, MD

The office!...never even saw the Dr. The telephone receptionist or otherwise the woman who answered the phone, had such a gloriously abhorrent lack of manners that, I immediately reconsidered my options, and subsequently cancelled the appointment. This encounter was so bad, that I have to reconsider, if I can now trust my PCP who recommended Dr. Belen's practice.

Horrible doctor. Does not listen to patient concerns, and yelled at me for asking questions that had to do with treatment for medical condition since the medicine he prescribed me caused severe medical related issues. He refused to believe me that the medicine he prescribed was making things worse and yelled at me when I brought up getting off the medicine he prescribed and trying a different medicine. Im grateful for seeing Dr.Belen because his horrible patient care led me to seeking and finding another excellent doctor who helped me to heal from the medical issues ive experienced my entire life and from the problems caused by the medicines Dr.Belen refused to take me off of even after mentioning my concerns to him.

Dr Belen was kind and friendly to me he asked me questions and he listened to me i told him what works for me so he said ok all the receptionist are very nice and friendly so are his Nurses. I really like Dr. Belen so far i hope it stays that way.

Horrible doctor/psychologist. Not empathic and pretty much tries to rush his visits. He got mad at me for asking questions about the medicines he wanted to prescribe me. I recommend people not to go to him.

This guy sucks at what he does, attempted to mess with my med regimen by attempting to prescribe a "natural alternative" medication; a medication that he said would "put less strain on my body" & that "my current regimen has a chance of hurting my liver." After looking up more information later on, I found the medicine HE recommended is actually known to cause massive liver damage to the point where most people require their liver to be tested before even being prescribed it, and he was just willing to write me a script then and there to replace my old regimen of medication; which by the way, I already had worked out before seeing him and was working fine! And then when I insisted that the regiment I had was working & I wasn't interested in his "alternatives" & that I have long already worked out a balanced regiment his response was "I'm the doctor". After that he started pulling my meds from me little by little at his discretion and as much as he could with plausible deniability.

This guy is a terrible doctor, only cares about money. Fails on all levels, diagnostically he's weak, pharmaceutical recommendations are based on a whim, & bedside manner is atrocious if not nonexistent; literally is only good at the bureaucracy side of being a doctor, which makes me wonder why he's not the working behind the counter as a secretary...Well that's unfair, his secretaries would probably do a much better job than him.

Steer clear of this Napoleon complex of a "doctor." Would get better pharmaceutical knowledge from my grandma with dementia; I can't state enough how much this guy has no idea what he's talking about! Tries to push medication that is physically harmful & unrelated to what he's supposed to be treating me for; which I suspect he gets "some type of kickbacks from," as some of such "medicine that he suggested," is plastered all over his office. And finally, his absolute medical incompetence aside ; he just does not care about his patients, AT ALL. Like most doctors at least have a bedside manner even if they're incompetent, but he is just straight up unnecessarily rude & apparently that's not an abnormality with him. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

I thought Dr. Belen was friendly and supportive in my choices of medication. Helped me out of a rough spot. Surprised by these reviews so I decided to voice my own opinion.

I must say this Dr. Likes to switch around your meds quite a bit! Wish i knew before I became a patient! He does like to monkey around with meds instead of keeping them constant with what works! He will change anything with the drop off a hat and doesn't care what you say. Even if something is working wonders for you he will change it if he gets a kick back from a different me company! This has happened many times to me! he doesn't listen to you nor care about your mental health!!

Too young to be messing with other peoples medications. His bed side manor could use a little work, as his attitude as well. Didn't like him talking down to me, jumped right in during a consult and started reducing meds I've been on for over 20 years. This guy has no clue. Never have i experienced such arrogance from a doctor! And when you call, its all automated and/or run by message only, i don't know how you can run a business playing phone tag with patients, that's not doctoring.

He's a horrible doctor/psychologist. He treated me as if I were a ghost, he didn't look me in the eyes and he didn't even listen to me when I tried to explain my mental problems. In the end he prescribed me something useless and pretty much sent me on my way. I highly don't recommend you go to this doctor.

My husband has frontotemporal temporal dementia. This practioner did not have a good grasp of the disease and was unresponsive to my concerns. Will not be returning

Dr. Belen is caring and friendly. He listens carefully and takes what I say seriously. He offers effective treatment, such was medicines and memory training.
