She didn't even look at me. She stared at her computer. Entirely rude. Poor customer service. Dismissed all my concerns. Physical exam, for an annual physical, was pathetic. She took hardily any time and was rude.

Personally I feel that Dr. Belanger is a terrible physician. She is not a very nice person either in my opinion. After 4 years in her care, i have never felt worse physically and mentally in my entire 34 years on this earth. I am not blaming her for my overall poor helath and wellbeing as of late, but I know that my symptoms are serious and have been debilitating for me in many ways, and I know this is a concern for me, because I've been healthy and happy my whole life, until 4 years ago. I was desperate for help and answers and was then referred to our local internal medicine department where I met Dr. Belanger. I thought our first visit was horrific, but I'm big hearted, forgiving, and optimistic to a fault. I excused her unexceptable demeanor and treatment by chalking it off saying it was just a bad day for her. However, she seemed only to get worse with every appt. She expresses no empathy for me, she is disrespectful and degrading, brash and condescending, she shows less than no interest in exploring my symptoms and concerns, and seems annoyed when I ask questions or ask for explanations. I've never been more humiliated to ask for help and so embarrassed or worried about being judged when sharing confidential information about myself with anyone. She has never seemed to believe me or trust my words regarding my health and my concerns. She has never treated any of my health concerns or helped me feel better apart from treating a horrific skin issue I had at one time, but of course this was something she could physically see and examine and could see so she believed me for once and treated me . Funny she's an internal medicine doctor and the only time she had compassion or concern for my health was when I came to her with an external health issue. She's rude, abrasive, and careless. She didn't even catch that my vitamin D deficiency test results were extremely low, she just rushes my appointments, and she missed this. Almost a year later I brought it to her attention after I saw the test result on my mycare account when sadly I resorted to doing my own health care investigating. I brought this to her attention and she acted like it was nothing! No apology or emotion at all. My level was at 15 for a year without treatment, 50-100 is "normal". My vitamin D was so low I had to take 5000iu daily for 6 months and I'm still on 3000 daily 3 months later. Also this is when I noticed other test results that were both high and low. She's so detached that I do not trust her with my health and wellness. No wonder I was labeled severely depressed by my mental health provider last year. I am done paying someone to make me feel worse when I go to them feeling vulnerable asking for help and care. This isn't a business where one can afford to be treated like a number, or be misdiagnosed repeatedly, or be looked over because it's busy that day. This is a business of care and compassion regarding life and living. There is no worse feeling than the feeling that my quality of life and my health and wellness are nothing but another appointment slot, another nuisance or burden to someone who seems she's just trying to get through her 8-5. When I go to walk out after an appt. with Dr. Belanger I feel violated and degraded. I can almost hear her eyes roll to the back of her head the minute I turn my back to her. She's a nightmare! I've heard this from many other people, even some of her colleagues! If you want feel better about your health, or at least not worse, take my advice and find a different provider.
