Dr. Belmar recently replaced my left knee. I had my right knee replaced 7 years ago by him as well. I came back to him because of the superb results from my last replacement. Dr. Belmar did a great job in both cases and my recovery was even better than it was 7 years earlier. He is a very kind and caring surgeon and takes the time to address any and all questions I had. His office and staff are top notch!

Dr. Belmar is a positive, pleasant, and meticulous surgeon. Thank you for always listening to my questions and validating my concerns. His kindness and expertise have set the bar high for other medical professionals. I am looking forward to a second successful knee replacement soon. My only regrets is that I did not do this 9 years ago when he told me I needed it done.

Absolutely amazing! 3 months ago I could hardly walk due to my right knee collapsing. Six weeks ago I had the knee replaced. Last week I was in Florida on a golfing junket. Been hiking, digging "ditches" in my yard, can do everything. Out-of-this-world results!

Dr. Belmar did three procedures on my right hip that I had been getting steroid shots for for three years. The procedure went well and I was walking with a cane in a week after I got home. He makes sure you totally understand what is going to be done to you and answers any questions you may have. I was 70 yrs. old when I had this done last year and I healed way before he thought I would. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Carlos Belmar to anyone who need a great doctor!!!

Dr Belmar was obviously caring when discussing my needs. He is a cautious surgeon attemtping to avoid all infection possibilities. I have had both hips relaced by him and recommend him highly.
