I was born with a body that has a ton of issues. I managed to work most of my adult life in hospitals and for medical device companies. I have worked with and been a patient with more doctors than I care to recall. Some docs punch the clock and get you through to the next provider you need to see. That is not Dr. Betteridge. He not only talks to you, he listens. He is concerned with what your needs are.
I saw Dr. Betteridge to have some steroids injected into my gnarly bones some would call elbows. He spent as much time as he needed to find out why I was there and what the plan was for my care going forward. At my second time seeing him for steroid injections I talked to him about other issues I had and what my symptoms were and I asked if he was able to help me. He was honest and forthright and said he was not the best person for me to see and immediately sent in a referral request for me to see someone who was in the GHC network who was better suited to assess my health issues.
Dr. Betteridge is a rare individual who is truly concerned about his patients and will do what needs to be done to see that they get the care they need. He also reminded me that if I see at doctor at the U that I still have the right to see anyone else that I think I need to see, so that I get all the information I need before I go under the surgeon's knife.
I don't give many 5 star reviews but Dr. Betteridge deserves this. If I could have him as my primary care provider I would make that happen ASAP.
If you need to have steroid injections into your joints you really need to get in to see Dr. Betteridge. He is what everyone wants a doctor to be. read more
