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.

I saw Dr. Bellew several years ago to treat my pots/dysautonomia, tachycardia issues as well as chronic pain associated with pots. My cardiologist back then, Dr Goodkin, recommended him and helped with my treatment. I just have to say, they both changed my life for the better. While I'm not cured, for many years, thanks to Dr. Bellew, I had less symptoms and no longer have to take heart medication. He was kind, he throughly explained each movement, everything he was doing and why. He provided solid helpful advice and also provided a relaxed stress free environment. Since his treatment I've sent others with the same issues to him and all have been extremely pleased and grateful. I wish there were more doctors like him. He truly is one of a kind.

Excellent experience not only with DDD treatment, but with my cardiac condition with a defibrillator that had disrupted the autonomic regulation of my heart. His skillfull adjustment of the appropriate spinal nerves to the heart gave me more relief of my symptoms than I'd had from my cardiologists. He is an extraordinary healer.

Have been seeing Dr. Bellew for years. My scoliosis is well-controlled with his remarkable skill. He has helped me recover from a few "interactions with gravity" as he calls them. I regularly send my chronic Lyme patients to him as well. He is quite simply an extraordinary physician, and is a third generation hands-on osteopath . That I now have to travel over 600 miles to see him a couple of time a year indicates he is worth it!

Osteopathic medicine harps on treating the patient, not the disease or the report. Being treated by an excellent osteopath, I was genuinely shocked that Bellew practices so contrary to this principle. I don't expect the secretary to understand that I'm currently being treated for muscle pain and a recurrent sacral torsion due to compensations from a herniated disc but I expect the doc to understand this. Without looking at me his "treatments would make my back 50% worse"...terrible medicine.
