Patient Reviews
Mar 22, 2024
I have been harmed multiple times by western medicine and pretty much just see NDs now. Dr. Belkin is one of the kindest, most thoughtful doctors (MDs) I have ever seen. He listens without judgement and is very patient oriented. I have a hard time understanding the negative reviews. He is definitely a five star doctor and I have recommended him to others.
