Dr. Belfie exhibits the attitude, skill and judgement that every patient wants in a surgeon. He is thoughtful, cautious and caring about each and every person whom he sees. I appreciate that he researches each appointment before I see him and when appropriate he offers choices as to treatments. I have seen Dr. Belfie for over 10 years for both knee and shoulder issues. Both he and his friendly staff want the best outcome as they keep us moving forward! Gregg Rule

Dr Belfie has PT education as well as Ortho surgery. He fixed my rotator cuff back to 100% I highly recommend him to anyone with ortho needs/injuries!

I had seen another doctor who insisted that I needed knee surgery. I wanted a 2nd opinion so I saw Dr. B. He examined my knee and thoroughly reviewed my MRI's with me. He said that I had pseudo gout and that in would reslove itself. He was spot on and I am 100% recovered. I just keep wondering what damage the 1st doctor might have done if he's got me on the table. Thank you Dr. Belfie!

Dr. Belfie refused to see me... and told me that he could not help me. He said torn muscles cannot be repaired. I don't understand how he can make such a broad statement. Doesn't depend on the type of tear? How can he know that it is even torn if he does not examine someone?

Dr. Belfie was the best I've seen' he was super informative on his surgery and recovery times' also I went in for a completely torn ACL and he found that I had a partialy torn meniscus as well! Probably the Nicest Dr Ever. I wouldn't go anywhere else! My knee is back to 100% no issues at all

An excellent physician and surgeon. After an 1.5 hour rotator cuff repair surgery, I was well instructed on how to was expedite my recovery. The nerve block was expertly placed and amazingly effective...no pain. Virginia Mason is a well organized and highly competent health provider. They bent over backwards to do the repair surgery on my schedule two weeks following the MRI

At first he seemed to explain my problem thoroughly to me, with pix and seemed to spend time with me. But when he said I wasn't a surgery case and it would heal on it's own. His opinion carries so much weight in the Virginia Mason system that you will NOT be ABLE to get a 2nd opinion in the Virginia Mason System. He either helps or DOESNT

I deeply appreciate Dr Befie's skill and knowledge in repairing my badly damaged shoulder. He's also a very nice man.

He sure did not want to help me with my torn bicep.I thought that is what he works on.
