Patient Reviews
Nov 13, 2022
Dr. Betancourt was amazing! My father had two hematomas and Dr. Betancourt saved his life. A gifted surgeon and an excellent doctor! Despite his busy schedule- he works at two hospitals- he took the time to clearly walk me through each step of my father’s issue. Without that guidance I could not have made some very difficult decisions the morning of my father’s surgery. I also found his bedside manner terrific: confident and jovial. I can’t recommend Dr. Betancourt enough, if you or a family member are seeing him for a neurological issue, you could not ask for better care.
