Dr Belhorn is excellent. I've had RA for 30 years treated by 4 different rheumatologist. She is conservative in treatment which I like. Very good listener She has gone above and beyond my expectations. She always spends time. I never felt rushed. Great doctor

Excellent doctor who treats her patients with the utmost care and understanding. Dr. Nicole Klerk is the best rheumatologist I have ever had. She was my 8th rheumatologist before I found a doctor who made a positive impact on my well-being. Highly recommend Dr. Nicole Klett to anyone in chronic pain and multiple conditions.

Friendly doctor however each time I have an appointment it is never on time. One time I waited a whole hour. Now that is ridiculous. I would say that although he is friendly I’m not certain the tactics are the most helpful. There are some medications and remedies I don’t think he is aware of. The front desk staff are not all there either.

Arrived on time for an 8:45 appointment. By 9:40, the doctor still hadn't been in to see me. I went up to the desk and asked how much longer the wait will be, and was told he was coming to me next. When he comes in, Dr. Petty proceeds to admonish me because he was told that I checked in late, and that they have to see the people that arrive on time first. I asked him who informed him that I arrived late, and he says the reception desk. I explain that this was incorrect, that I was on time, and that no one told me at check-in... read more

He and the staff didn’t seem to actually care about me or my injury. It was just about getting me out of there as fast as they could to see the next patient. I probably spent a total of 10 mins in there for a fractured bone and severe pain. They seemed to be annoyed with every question I asked. I will not be coming back here in the future. The cost of the visit and the type of treatment was not every close.

Was referred for an ultrasound and was disappointed in how unprofessional he was. He kept going into his backpack to retrieve and put away his tablet while vaguely explaining what he thought I was experiencing. He seemed very inexperienced and unsure of himself. I do not feel confident in his diagnosis and will be seeking a second opinion. Seems like he just went with the potential diagnosis provided on the referral. Patient summary sent to me a week later was not mine. Just another reason to seek care elsewhere.

An entire dismissive clown. It’s “doctors” like this that give a bad name. Arrogant for no reason and rude.

This doctor does not listen to the needs of his patients. He has a treatment plan already worked out in his head before he ever examines the patient. He does not care about pain management, and will tell you to put Aspercreme with Lidocaine on your knee for a torn ligament. He should not be practicing medicine and in the future I will avoid him and any practice he is a part of. Absolutely horrible experience.
