Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Belizon gave me my life back.
He answered all questions I had and really did a great job when it came to the surgery. I have absolutely no issues now and am forever grateful for his expertise and help.

Dr Belizon came in on a Sunday morning to repair my hernia so I could fly out to my eldest son's wedding a few days later. My recovery was quick and he did a great job repairing my hernia. Highly recommend him and his staff.

Bad experience
I had a very bad reaction to the medication he prescribed (which was not his fault). I called the office to report how awful and painful the reaction to the medication was and I was instructed to leave a voice message. No one ever responded to my message. I called back and left a verbal message with someone and still never received a return call. I am still in pain.

Awful doctor. Will not return calls even when I had a bad reaction to medicine that he prescribed. Medicine that caused so much pain that I could not sleep nor walk. Does not care at all. Avoid at all cost.

Highly skilled surgeon
I chose Dr Belizon to reverse an emergency colostomy done five months previously. He advised me that the surgery could be done robotically and laparoscopically. The surgery went off without a hitch and I was home in five days. It is now four weeks since the surgery and I am progressing quite well. I can honestly say that I had almost no pain associated with this procedure. If you have the need for colorectal surgery, Dr Belizon is the doctor to use.

A superior Doctor with the best bedside manner.
I just had surgery with Dr Belizone for a very large Hiatal Hernia. He is caring straight forward and the best Dr I have had since moving to Florida 30 years ago. He doesn’t follow a script. He reassures you and makes decisions on fact not a script. Thank you Dr Belizone you have changed my life.

Outstanding Surgeon
Recently I had bilateral inguinal hernia surgery. I am 84 years old and was unsure as to the costs and benefits of the surgery. As it turned out, there was no cost and all benefit. The laparoscopic procedure went very smoothly was done on an outpatient basis and was completed in two or three hours. I experienced no pain whatsoever and was able to resume normal activities in a couple of days. Within four days of surgery I was able to resume my daily walks of four to five miles. I am very pleased and could not have hoped for a better outcome. Kudos to Dr Belizon.

Good Experience
My wife needed laparoscopic surgery to remove a malignant polyp. We were pleased with Dr. Belizon, he took time to explain the procedure, worked with the hospital to get her an earlier date for the surgery and performed the operation successfully. The surgery was performed robotically with small incisions and minimal post surgical discomfort. She has been completely satisfied with her treatment and highly recommend Dr. Belizon.

Terrific Surgeon
Thanks and praises to Dr. Belizon who made my surgery a successful and good experience. Pleasantly answering my-pre op questions and explaining details of procedure comforted me prior to my hospital admission. The procedure was not only successful but nearly devoid of any post op pain, due to Dr. Belizon's knowledge and talent. He and his team were also spectacular in my post-op care, following up, answering questions and making me feel comfortable. I could not be happier with my treatment and outcome.

Four years ago when I found Dr Belizon I read reviews and to be honest I wasn’t impressed. The biggest thing was he didn’t explain things to his patients.

Outstanding Surgeon!
Three weeks ago, Dr. Belizon diagnosed me with a cecal volvulus and performed an emergency open right hemicolectomy to correct the condition. Prior to the surgery, Dr. Belizon clearly explained the diagnosis and the risks associated with the procedure. The surgery went as planned, without complications. While recovering at the hospital, Dr. Belizon and his staff checked on me often to monitor my progress. My recovery is now continuing from home without any issues. I am very grateful to Dr. Belizon for his prompt and accurate diagnosis, and skillful surgery, which undoubtedly saved me from serious complications due to my condition. I highly recommend Dr. Belizon.
