“The staff and provider were friendly and helpful. The only thing I suggest is that because there is an extensive history questionnaire it should be given prior to the visit either mailed or on a online app.”

Verified patient
It took a long time to be seen, when I finally was I was told I need to reschedule for next week because they cannot perform the exam since I am on medication for my issue. They should have told me not to take my medication or have rescheduled me immediately instead of having me wait around
Verified patient
Dr B is fantastic and he whole office team is delightful! They were patient, kind, and so helpful. I could tell we were in good hands.
Verified patient
Dr. Bielory is a rarity in today's society. He actually takes the time to listen to the patient, address any concerns and always has a great sense of humor. I told him today that his is never able to retire unless he can find me a replacement that is equally as qualified as he is, which is something I believe will be impossible. I came to Dr. Bielory with a rare condition, not only was he highly aware of the condition, he knew exactly how to treat it and saved my remaining hearing. He has been with me on this lengthy journey and the years since it has gone into remission. Thank you Dr. Bielory for being the wonderful doctor, human and friend. His staff from Anita and his other staff are always friendly and courteous. They go out of their way to assist you. I highly recommend Dr. Bielory.
Verified patient

Verified patient
The doctor was great in allowing me enough time to ask questions and gave me plenty of feedback and advice. He prescribed and recommended a number of things that I hope will help me!
Excellent service and very professoal
Verified patient
This doctor was curt and unfriendly when speaking directly with me, and was inappropriately using swear words with his staff within earshot of the patient room to express his frustration with my treatment. Very rude and demoralizing.
Doctor B provided great advice and was very personable and thorough. I would highly recommend him. The ladies in the office were pleasurable as well.
Verified patient
Friendly, informative and very helpful!
Verified patient
I have been incredibly worried about my health, esp knowing I have a bunch of autoimmune things going on. Not only did the doctor look annoyed as I continuously spoke about my health and my past issues to explain my timeline the best I could. Mid way thru, he left. . He gave off the vibe that anything I said was something he’d either challenge, disagree with, roll his eyes/ huff and puff, as if I was wasting his time for trying to be insanely thorough. When he asked about my job, as I started saying what I do, he starts asking me how it is possible and yet again, seeming to undermine me. He did not even listen to a thing I said and he did not remotely try to. Yes, I have a lot going on - but that’s also why I went there. I bit my tongue esp when medicine and issues I’ve had since childhood, he was telling me “no,that is not what this is”or yet again, seemingly very condescending and rude. He couldn’t be bothered. He did not want to hear me, he wanted to hear himself. There was 0 help. I felt uncomfortable and rushed. I did not leave feeling confident or hopeful. I did not leave feeling anything but more stressed out because it felt like this was “too challenging “. I’m very confused by the “amazing bed side and listener” reviews. Never again.
Staff was very friendly and the doctor was professional. Dr. Bielory explained everything thoroughly and I had a pleasant time.
Verified patient
Excellent visit. Clear explanations
Extraordinary
Arrived about 20 minutes early and were taken before our scheduled appointment time. Found Dr. Bielory and his staff to be courteous, knowledgeable and welcoming. Dr. Bielory was very thorough with going over my daughter's medical history while recommending what I believe is the proper treatment plan for her condition(s).
Verified patient
Everything was excellent! I would only suggest to bring more help on his team, but over all I am glad I made the right decision to go see him! Thank you Doctor Bielory and staff! :-)
Verified patient
Dr. Bielory was very professional and helpful in testing my allergy to an immunization. He was thorough and willing to help me test additional allergies in the future.
Verified patient
Great doctor. He was extremely thorough with testing me which I really appreciated. Make sure you definitely have a sense of humor also, he has a great one. This wouldn't be an honest review if I didn'tcomment on the wait time. For both my original appointment and my followup I waited about an hour!. So yes he is thorough but you have to make sure you clear a good chunk of your day for this visit. Definitely not a visit that will have you in and out. All that considered, I would go back!!
Verified patient
Although Dr. Bielory can be a bit rough around the edges and his bedside manner is not the greatest, I absolutely appreciate his thoroughness. I've been to many doctors who merely treat symptoms. Dr. Bielory works to get to the root of the problem and that's really what I care about most.
Office staff is lazy and rude to say the least.
Verified patient
very informative
