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.

Great experience
Dr. Bettencourt explained what he was going to do, which was very helpful, and talked to me during the procedure. He was very personable and encouraging. He told me what to expect in the coming days. Although the injection was uncomfortable, I felt assured that it was treating the exact spot it needed to treat. I hope I don’t have to go back for more, but I felt very much at ease with Dr. Bettencourt.

I was very pleased with my visit. Dr Bettencourt examined me and listened to my problem. We discussed it and decided on a treatment. I am much better today.

6 stars for Dr. Bettencourt
I encourage readers to put your trust in Dr. Bettencourt. I had some unpleasant hip pain. Dr. Bettencourt gave me and injection. The injection did the trick and thankfully it was painless. I have zero hip pain now. There is a chance it will only last 3 months but it is also possible that it may not come back at all. I am currently going in for physical therapy to strengthen that area. Having the hip pain gone makes it easy to do the exercises that strengthen that area. I wish I would not have waited 2 months to finally go to see Dr. Bettencourt.

Second PRP
Dr. Bettencourt did a previous PRP procedure. It was so successful that I went back for another issue. The entire staff was easy to work with. He is very personable, excellent at what he does, and clearly determined to obtain the best possible outcome for his patient. I'd go back again.

Office visit for trigger finger release
Entire staff was friendly, kind, and accommodating. Dr. Bettencourt had a professional, engaging and knowledgeable demeanor. He explained everything clearly without talking down and offered options together with pros and cons of each. He was respectful and supportive of staff, and has a great sense of humor.

Great PRP experience
Dr. Bettencourt and team were professional and patient. As a healthcare provider, I have full confidence that I had a very skilled procedure performed and therefore the best chance of it helping me. My one piece of constructive feedback would be that phlebotomy is required for this procedure and better “hard draw” processes are needed on site.

2nd round cortisone (6mo), easy, painless & fast.
Second round of right hip & knee cortisone. Had hslf second twitch during first round hip injection six months ago likely because I was tense…not Dr Bettencourt. Second easy-peasy with no pain.

Feel very happy with Dr. Bettencourt
I saw Dr. Bettencourt for a chronic pain issue at the end of his very long day. He was very friendly, engaged, and committed to sorting it. I am middle-aged and he treated me like the strong, active person I am, not as if my injury does not really matter because I am older. I feel like I am good hands and am hopeful about the potential for a good recovery.

I have seen Dr. Bettencourt for my hip injections. The doc has a great sense of humor, takes his time and explains his work as he goes along. And answers any questions you may have. I would totally recommend Dr. Bettencourt.
