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.

Always listens to concerns. I like his honesty doesn't sugar coat the situation and is very direct regarding care. Even if you don't agree. Its in my best interest not to just agree with me. Thorough, top-notch physician, trust him with my health needs.

I really liked Dr. Bellary as a physician but the billing department is a joke. They were posting payments for the wrong amount and sometimes not at all.

I have had him as my GI Dr a long time. His office staff tried very hard to give me an appt, as I had two medical problems that needed attention. i got an appt in a few days. He spent quite a bit of time with me, talking about my 2 issues He was very kind.He ordered an EGD,but it could not be done for several months. I got on the cancellation list, and was called within 2 weeks to have test the next day. Thank you!!!! The slide bars below do not work- I have had 2 visits in last 2 yrs.
