There is never a long wait in the waiting room and checking in and out is simple. She has a conservative approach to medicine, and does not over-prescribe medicines, like some doctors do. She's a good listener and takes the time necessary to provide a proper examination at each visit. She also stays on top of annual screenings, labs, and vaccinations.

No other doctor has helped me with understanding what was going on, and found information that was very valuable to me. I trust in him and he has the patience and time to explain to you things you may have not known in the past. So refreshing to know they're a doctor's out there that really do care.

My family and I have been a patient of Dr Bettencourt for over 20 years…read more When I saw the derogatory review from "Patricia T" review 7/6/24 I had to respond because what she said about Dr Bettencourt is very contrary to our experience and frankly inaccurate!! 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.

I DEEPLY regret having a partial menisectomy that Dr. Renee Smith recommended and several times…read more(including when I complained in follow-up appointments that it was worse post surgery) that it "should have been a life upgrade". Well it's been almost 3 years and my knee is way worse than it was before the surgery. I deeply, deeply regret letting Dr. Renee Smith talk me into having the surgery. It was a horrible idea and it actually has completely ruined my body. I have had subsequent other injuries because of the continued inflammation and instability of the knee that was pretty much okay before but had just bothered me a little bit off and on for a long time and she gave me the impression that this would help me. In fact she even said when I complained afterwards that it seemed worse that she figured "It was worth it if there was an 85% Improvement in my quality of life". There has FOR SURE been an 85% DECREASE in my quality of life since the surgery. I am enormously regretful. It did permanent damage to my body and has caused other injuries. HORRIBLE. I've actually talked to a lot of people who rub their fingers together and say yeah it's very lucrative for them to suggest the surgery it's quick and easy for them but it's thousands of dollars in their pocket and have talked to a bunch of people who have had the same surgery and regret it and say they are worse off now. This is a horrible disservice to do to people and I'm hearing this story again and again. Oh, and I've been told by other more competent doctors after she slaughtered me that you are 60% more likely to have arthritis in a knee after having even an arthroscopic surgery. I can tell it's already happening and I'm not that old. She is lucky that I am not litigious because I probably have a viable claim to a medical malpractice lawsuit case.
