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.

Ridiculously long wait times
The thing about Dr. Belding is that she's very knowledgeable, she's thorough, and you will feel taken care of when you're seen by her. What I cannot stand is the wait times, this marks the third time in a row that I've had to wait more than an hour and a half to see her. THREE TIMES IN A ROW. It's malicious in the way that they divide up my time between the lobby, then vitals, then waiting in the room by myself to give the impression that things are moving along but if I had known each time that there was still a long wait ahead of me, I would leave.

Lack of ethical behavior
My mother took the risk to be her 'client', nor patient, for more than 7 years. Still today after 3 years She is still suffering her kind of 'care'. Prepotence to its maximum extent. Make an appointment with 'Dr' Belding and since it is going to take several months, think about it. Do it at your own risk. Good luck

Better look for any other doctor.
After several years with her although advised to leave her I had to learn the hard way when 2 years and 4 months ago she broke my rectal wall when trying to find a hernia in such a way that still and with permanent pain I'm looking for a solution to this problem that has left me totally defenseless plus lots of money spent in many doctors fees.

Dr. Belding is knowledgable in what she does. However wait is torture and getting appointment with her takes FOREVER. She also sent the wrong script to the pharmacy and when I called her office to correct that, there was no follow up. Even though it will cost me more, I've decided to go to my own personal doctor. Unless she sees you, she will not prescribe anything, even if it is for a coldsore. Not only is her manner more suited to me, but her staff corrects and follows up errors.

Dr. Belding is a very insensitive doctor. The wait time at her office is torturous. It could be even upto 2 hrs. with an appointment! If you have an emergency, forget it; she won't accommodate you even if you are dying. The staff is equally rude and insensitive. They can leave the phone ringing or over half an hour. An honest opinion, don't go there. Find yourself a better doctor to take care of you!! I wish I could give her less than one star!!
