This provider did not listen to me, was very unkind to me, presented incorrect information to me, and didn't explain her plans. She made up her mind, required tons of tests, and made the wrong treatment decisions. I would not recommend her to anyone I care about.

After years of suffering, I was seen and accurately diagnosed with crohns disease within a few weeks by Dr. Bewtra. She coordinated my care between the radiologists, the procedures and the surgeons. When I was admitted to the hospital, she visited me and she keeps me informed of new therapies. She was very sympathetic to my pain and suffering. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Bewtra treats my son as if he were her younger brother, he has complete trust and faith in her and that gives me peace of mind. After each visit he gets an indepth report of the current office visit and any test results, very comprehensive care. When he was planning a trip abroad she made sure he had all meds he may need and contacts in other countries if needed.

Dr. Bewtra had looked up all my past medical history before my visit. She was on-time and very complete. She sent a personal follow-up letter with my full history and findings. She followed up everything and accommodated me when I had difficulty scheduling an appointment. When I developed another serious illness, she helped coordinate my care and referrals.
