    Dr Belzberg is great at translating complicated health issues and terms into language that is easy to understand. He presents all options, as well as his professional opinion, but does not pressure you to make any decision you haven't thought through and are comfortable with.

    Provider did not have a good bedside manner. He was seeing my records that were sent in for review for the 1st time. I was told at in order to schedule He would review my records and then decide if he could take me on as a patient. He told me his office no longer reviews records and accepts everyone because they get in trouble if they don't. Since no one reviewed my records I wasted his time and mine.
