Dr. Belaga and his entire staff are a dream come true! I agree that there are not enough stars to rate my experience that I had with them. From the moment I walked in (actually before) I found myself greeted with a warm embrace of compassion. The Dr. himself is amazingly knowledgeable and understanding of my past experiences! I found him to be courteous, non-judgmental, easy going and he is a genius.
After about 1 and a half years of living with undeniable pain and an experience just finding someone who could and would help me, I was referred by CPMC to Dr. Belaga. It was honestly the best thing anyone has ever done for me. I am actually happy that I went here instead of UCSF (long story, read the review if need be, but I did NOT have a good experience with them in this case. So no matter what they are rated, it was not the best place for me!) and from the consult to diagnosis to treatment I felt that I was given the best advice, treatment and aftercare possible.
After treatment I actually felt really dizzy and a little ill due to the medication I was given and Cecilia (she is a true gem and wonderful person - Dr. Belaga is lucky to have her!) and Dr Belaga had me rest in the back room for a while. Cecilia even brought me a warm blanket and offered to open the window so I could get some fresh air when I told her I did not feel well and was cold.
My point to this previous statement is this: They go well beyond the normal scope to ensure their patients are well cared for as well as being comfortable and that is more than I can say for 99% of other practices. I am blessed to have found Dr. Belaga and plan to continue treatment with him.
I highly recommend if you have any issues he may be of help with that you go straight to him!
