Great staff, very little wait time. ”

Dr. Bettencourtt is an exceptional doctor! He was kind, patient, and very attentive with my son (15 yr. old). We were so comfortable with him for our first visit. All of the staff were very kind, the office was very clean, we were seen at the time of our appointment and Dr. Bettencourt conducted a thorough annual physical. I am very pleased with my experience, my son was satisfied and as a result Dr. Bettencourtt has gained a new patient! ??

Office staff and nurse were extremely friendly and helpful, relatively no wait to see the doctor...my 11yr old son who is extremely shy and uncomfortable at most dr’s was happy with his visit as well. Would recommend Dr. B moving forward.
December 26, 2020Matthew D.Verified patient
The office was accommodating with my lateness(first time mom and didn’t plan well). The office was clean and quiet, we were offered water while we waited. He answered all questions that we had Very pleased with the overall visit! Only thing, parking in that area is quite tricky, beware !
October 17, 2019Silver S.Verified patient
The 1st visit with Doctor B for my 2 kids was very good. No wait time, the doctor and his assistant take time to do a full check up for each one, fill all documents requested by the school. The doctor was very nice with children, trying to speak french with them. I recommend him.
