This office is not for women with genealogical conditions. It might be fine for regular ob/gyn (or…read morethe endless cosmetic procedures they advertise in every inch of the office), but keep looking if you need significant care. Dr. Stanislaus did not believe Endometriosis was causing my symptoms but agreed to do a diagnostic surgery to rule it out. She was 90 minutes late to my pre-surgery appointment and rushed through the discussion in order to get to another patient's surgery. The day of my actual surgery, the authorization they wanted me to sign included multiple procedures we had not discussed, including ablating my entire uterus for a condition I don't even have. She said the was a mistake on the paperwork, but still pushed for me to have ablation on any Endo she found. I reiterated that I only wanted a diagnostic procedure and she was extremely patronizing, saying "I don't understand why you don't want to feel better." Unfortunately, I relented and consented to having the Endo ablated. She found significant endometriosis and removed it with ablation. When I went for my post- surgery appointment, she did not have any photos to show me because her staff had not requested them. When I went for my next regular appointment, the Nurse Practictioner asked me why I wasn't getting my Endometriosis taken care of - I told her Dr. Stanislaus had performed the surgery and she said, "Oh it's not on your chart." Now 3 years later I need another surgery in the same area of my body - either new growths or scar tissue, which is common with ablation. I will be having excision done by a more specialized surgeon, but neither Dr. Stanislaus or the surgery center is able to find the photographs for my original procedure. If you have serious gynecological needs, I do not recommend this practice. The doctor is almost always severely late and doesn't seem to be focused on patient care. It is a huge business, well advertised, but they seem more focused on selling cosmetic procedures than taking care of medical issues.

I tend to research providers to see their level of experience, and I have to say that Dr. DeBlauw's heart into her career outweighs anything else in her medical path.

She criticized the Doctor about notifying her of her breast cancer diagnosis...would she rather hear from the Radiologist or his office staff? Should he call her in to the office for a visit while she anxious and having sleepless nights until the doctor can get her in? It sounds like the doctor immediately referred her out which sounds appropriate ...is he supposed call her weekly to see how she's doing? How would the doctor know she changed doctors? With thousands of patients he supposed to recognize she hasn't come back and call her to see why? As for the exams, Doctors usually see patients who have a problem and many times exams are not necessary. Does the doctor need to do a full exam every time he sees a patient? Is she saying that when her knee hurts, she wants him to look in her ears? This woman's comments seem unreasonable, detached from reality, unwarranted and inaccurate especially as they relate to his character. I can't imagine she saw the doctor very often to come up with such mischaracterizations. Sounds like another unhappy person displacing their feelings and deflecting. Her comments are not helpful for others who want to know who Dr. Bettencourt really is. Thankfully many others have chimed in who actually know Dr Bettencourt. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Bettencourt as a caring and professional General Practitioner.

If I had looked further into this doctor and the San Luis podiatry practice in Templeton and San Luis Obispo I would have found that the doctor has been reported for malpractice before and recently received an official reprimand for his poor medical care. This is the text on the Medical Board of California (MBC) website: "IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT Respondent Christopher M. Byrne, D.P.M. shall be and is hereby Publicly Reprimanded pursuant to California Business and Professions Code sections 2222 and 2227, subdivision (a)(4). This Public Reprimand, which is issued in connection with Accusation No. 500-2021-001178, is as follows: 1. In March 2020, the Respondent diagnosed Patient 1 with gout, prescribed Allopurinol and continued to treat the patient with Allopurinol after the patient's bloodwork was negative for gout. Respondent then treated Patient 1 on March 4, 2020, April 23, 2020, and May 27, 2020, with steroid injections into Patient 1's first metatarsophalangeal joint of his right foot, as more fully described in Accusation No. 500-2021-001178. PRESCRIBING PRACTICES COURSE Within 60 days of the effective date of this Decision and Order, Respondent shall enroll in a course in prescribing practices, at Respondent's expense, approved in advance by the Board or its designee. Respondent shall successfully complete the course within 6 months of the effective date of this Decision and Order. Respondent shall submit a certification of successful completion to the Board or its designee not later than 15 calendar days after successfully completing the course, or not later than 6 months after the effective date of this Decision and Order, whichever is later. A prescribing practices course taken after the acts that gave rise to the charges in the Accusation, but prior to the effective date ofthe Decision may, in the sole discretion of the Board or its designee, be accepted towards the fulfillment of this condition if the course would have been approved by the Board or its designee had the course been taken after the effective date of this Decision. Any failure to fully comply with this term and condition of the Decision and Order shall constitute unprofessional conduct and will subject Respondent's Doctor of Podiatric Medicine License to further disciplinary action."
