          Dr Belzberg answered all my questions and provided information that I did not have about my syndrome. I was thrilled to be able to have the access to him through a virtual appointment. My syndrome is fairly uncommon and the doctors in my area were not as versed as Dr Belzberg is on the situation as they had not been presented with it often.

He listened to my complaints and concerns regarding my health and after the review of my records, he had a clear understanding of what could be contributing to my current health condition. He was very professional, knowledgeable and thorough. He ensured that I understood what the plan was moving forward and that I was in agreement.

          Dr. Belzberg was excellent. I walked into this appointment very nervous, seeking a second opinion following months of medical gaslighting at an outside institution. I don't think this was terribly obvious at first but Dr.Belzberg caught onto this quickly and adjusted from what I would say is a very normal approach to an H&P to much more gentile approach. He understood that while I work in healthcare, it's different when you're the patient. He was willing to sit in silence for a moment while I processed the information he was sharing and thinking of questions.
