The best ER doctor I have ever had! I wish more doctors would be as knowledgeable, understanding and honest like Dr. Bellezzo.

He has a terrible bedside manner. He was rude and condescending and not caring at all. I would never wish anyone to see him or to be treated as I was.

I recently had to go to the ER for acute back pain. I had the honor of receiving Dr. Bellezzo and he was the rudest, meanest doctor I have ever encountered. He was disrespectful, acted like my complaint was not valid. Told me my MRI was fine when it shows I have bulging discs and a hernia. My experience of the hospital was good but this doctor would not even come speak to me before I was discharged. He treated me like a second class citizen. Then prescribed me pain killers that I never asked for because I was already taking pain killers I had. What a rude doctor!
