My initial impression was extremely positive, particularly the office staff, which is outstanding. I've been in pain for three years now, recently completed my third belly surgery, which was an ileostomy reversal. I was hoping Dr. B would help me with the adjustment which I understood would be very difficult and take up to a year. He became obsessed with my pain meds, even though with great difficulty, I limited my pain meds to one tab per day with full support from my pain doctor. Dr Bettinger accused me of being an addict and threatened to inform my pain dr he should not prescribe for me; he sent this accusation to my other drs tho he did send a correction. In the midst of an extremely frustrating and challenging time, he told me to make an appt in 6 months, which essentially is abandoning me. If you have a problem that requires ongoing medical management, Dr Bettinger is not the doctor for you.
