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 Bellam is very knowledgeable also very kind n caring his nurse staff up front have went above n beyond for me I’ve been going to him now for 2 1/2 years I’ve been very happy with the care I have received. Would definitely recommend him to a friend.

Informative, polite, and I enjoy how well they listen to the patient concerns and give alternatives. Best PCP provider I have had in a while.

I've been going to this office for over a year now. I see the NP Cindy. She's awesome. She always addresses my concerns and talks to me about what is going on. The staff are ok. Sometimes they are cranky, and sometimes really nice. I go to the doctor, not them.

I've been been a pt of Dr. Bellam's since 1993. His staff is excellent & always helpful & kind, sometimes going above and beyond to help me with finding affordable pricing for certain medical scans/diagnostics. His ARNP are outstanding, and if they come across a medical diagnosis they're not familiar with, they will spend as much time as possible learning about the diagnosis/prognosis. The nurses & all staff are wonderful, always a pleasure to see the same faces & people you've known for decades during each (for me) monthly visit. Dr. Bellam himself, is a concerned, caring doctor who will tell you if you can't afford the medications he's prescribing you, but needs for you to take those specific medications, he will provide you enough samples to last each month or until your next visit. I would be remiss is I didn't mention how wonderful Mrs. Bellam is, as she knows each patient by name, w/a glorious sense of humor & is a beautiful class act lady. So grateful for them all for 29 years!

Dr. Bellam is a good doctor but his staff up front is not up to par. Very unhelpful like they don't want to be there. Some more than others.

My elderly parents were patients of his. They moved in with me in TN in March 2020. One month later my mom received refills for her medicine thru Express Script. Upon calling I discovered that Dr Bellum wrote prescription refills for her. So, he wrote a prescription for a patient he had not seen in almost 2 months. This man is nothing but a pill pushing quack.

Dr. Bellam charges $400 for an office visit. Insurance pays some and I pay $160 for each visit. Dr. Bellam will only refill schedule 4 drugs twice, so every other month I pay $160 for a $2.00 prescription. He is exhausting all my money and he doesn't care. He is now doing urine testing before they will hand you your prescription. He makes all his patients look like full blown drug addicts which isn't the case for me and I'm sure many others.

My wife recently visited their office after not feeling well for a few days. Without performing any sort of wellness check, they simply put her symptoms into the computer to diagnose her. She explained she couldn’t take musinex. They sent her on her way with two prescriptions. I picked up the prescriptions to her after I got off of work only to find out it’s musinex when I get home. We contacted Dr. Bellams office only for them to tell us that they thought she meant something else. What a joke.

They prescreen you after telling you they are accepting new patients for your specific insurance co. If your on anything they do not like, or you are in pain management under another's care they will not take you on. It is discrimination on every level.
