Dr. John Pieter Belzer, MD

FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY! Dr. Belzer told me ahead of time that he could not promise good results due to fraying. I didn’t get good results, I got excellent results. Perfect demeanor for his profession as well. Thanks for giving me my shoulder back

Dr. Belzer performed rotator cuff repair on my right and left shoulders (in 2009 and 2014) and most recently, total knee replacement in March, 2026. All three procedures had excellent outcomes. In each case, Dr. Belzer was patient and thorough in explaining what my diagnosis was, what my options were, what the surgery consisted of, and what to expect during recovery. In addition, his staff was friendly and professional when setting up appointments and with aftercare. I would give him and his team my highest recommendation.

Dr. Belzer has been my Ortho doctor for many years. He performed surgery on my right shoulder and is currently treating my left shoulder, both with very successful outcomes that have significantly relieved my pain. I truly appreciate his thorough explanations and the care he takes in discussing all available treatment options. I am very grateful for the high level of care he has provided. Dr Belzer is an experienced and knowledgeable physician. I consider him the best and I have recommended several of my friends to see him as well.

I haven’t had my surgery yet, but my meeting with him went well. He was prompt and took time to explain my injuries to me. The surgery was scheduled much quicker than i expected

Dr. Belzer is a very knowledgeable, skilled and experienced surgeon. As well, Dr.Belzer explained the whole process from surgery through rehab thoroughly, was amazingly patient, and encouraged questions. I highly recommend him and feel grateful that I had him to repair my shoulder. Gillian

Dr. Belzer is wonderful. Great rapport and thorough explanations. I’ve had many ortho needs over the years, my own and my two sons’, one an elite athlete. There is no one I could recommend more for orthopedic advice, opinion, or treatment. His team is knowledgeable and was very accessible with any need after surgery. I would always recommend John Belzer, I have for decades.

Dr. Belzer did a great job repairing my ruptured quadriceps tendon. His good work enabled me to return to my active lifestyle following a catastrophic skiing accident. I recommend him highly.

Professional, extremely competent, sensitive to patients needs, explains courses of care in a manner patient understands.

I went to see Dr. Belzer v for my right shoulder pain last Thursday. After 3D X-rays, Dr. Belzer examined my shoulder and arm, he told me that I Right shoulder has inflammation. He gave me cortisone injection and my shoulder is back to normal on Saturday. I was able to join my team to compete in the Long Beach Dragon Boat races and I got 2 Silver medals. Thanks to Dr. Belzer to take care of my right shoulder.

Dr Belzer is very respectful, explains his exam and conclusions clearly, and I look forward to continuing in his care. I did not have the experience that some have related. An older woman, I did not reveal my experience as a health care professional, and felt I was treated with appropriate respect and consideration (i.e., he was neither dismissive nor paternalistic).
