Dr. Belanger is awesome. I’ve been going to him for years. He’s done surgery on my knees and has kept them functioning for many years since. He is always nice, approachable and knowledgeable.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Belanger for several years now. He has excellent bed side manner, explains the plan of action so you are aware of what’s going on, and his follow up is phenomenal. He is also willing to cater to your input with alternatives if at all possible. Nothing bad to say about him. I would recommend him to the people I care most about and anyone else looking for an outstanding orthopedic specialist. Thank you Doc for the work that you do. 5 stars!

Its still early to tell while I came in for 2nd opinion even though I know the causes of the pain i have. Yes, it was similar things I heard from different othropedic but at least with this one was little different and somehow felt comfortable in spite of my anxiety through tears after last appt with different othropedic. Definitely coming back in few weeks for follow up and he will contact my p.t. too to see how its going
