Great doctor! Always very caring and thorough.. so good it's sometimes hard to get an appointment…read more.Our first primary doctor retired and at the time was hard to find one that accepted new patients, but once we got an appointment we were so happy with his knowledge!

Good for an urgent care visit, but if you go for a regular appointment the Dr's do not examine you…read more Ive never had a Dr's appointment where the Dr does not put their hands on you. This is now the policy here, they dont offer examinations, they do hands off consultations. Probably trying to prepare patients for a transition to some kind of "tele-health", where you'll be charged the full price of a real examination for a 15 minute consultation.

The support staff at Saratoga Hospital Medical Group Primary Care - Wilton( 3044 Rte. 50) make an effort to acknowledge each patient as soon as they walk through the door. Mrs. Kirkpatrick(check-in),Suzy (nurse)and the lab tech( sorry can't remember name!) were personable and helpful as was the lovely lady who wished me well on my way out the door. I highly recommend Dr. Belanger and this medical group. Phone: 518-886-5800

She has invariable made time to listen and to counsel me on a variety of issues, gave me immediate referrals to specialists when I requested a different GYN or surgeon.

After having been on medication for over twelve years I was required to take a urine drug screen to…read morecontinue, though I had never previously taken one, had changed nothing about frequency or dosage over that time period. My previous doctor at HFP, who was a respectful, intelligent, good-faith partner in my health care, retired. I'd have begged him to stay but he was emotionally exhausted. Can't imagine why. I was tested for heroin, cocaine, barbiturates, fentanyl, marijuana, oxycodone, methadone and other substances. They did not itemize in advance the things they were testing me for - I found out on the results. They tested for weed. Which is none of their business. Go for it, guys. You own my body. You don't need a search warrant. You aren't the government. You can just blackmail me for my health needs. I can only assume that this information will eventually be used to deny me insurance for one reason or another. I just discovered I now owe six hundred dollars for the privilege of carrying a bottle of my own urine down a hallway in full view of other patients to prove that I am not a heroin addict. Passed with flying colors, everyone. I haven't done an interesting drug since 1995 and have never been addicted to anything but cigarettes, which I quit, ages ago, like everyone else. Interestingly, they don't check for cigarettes, which are as addictive as anything, and have quite a bit of historical data supporting their lethal effects. Great news, it is completely fine with whatever corporate behemoth now controls HFP if you smoke cigarettes. Perhaps I should start. They also neglected to mention the $600 insult that awaited me. I guess they thought that was best left unsaid. Honestly, they were probably right on that one. (If you're curious what phenyclidine is - it's on the report on the image, that would be PCP. They tested me for PCP. I am paying $600 for a completely unnecessary test that established that I do not take PCP.) I'm stuck with them, because it is my responsibility to myself and my family to do what it takes to get mental health care. I came very close to not doing it, but I need ADHD medicine to function. When I questioned the requirement, I was told 'everyone is treated the same way' to which I would respond 'Yes, but shouldn't no one be treated like a criminal if there is no evidence they are a criminal other than that they are living their lives?' But I cannot say this, because they will note on the charts that I am 'difficult' - they probably already did - and things will be worse. So here is the result of this: I am in my fifties. Will I get a mammogram? No. Will I get a colonoscopy? No. Will I get a pap smear? You have got to be kidding. Not in a million years. Will I submit to any regular testing of any kind? No. If I have a fever of a 103, will I call them? No. If my appendix bursts, I'll go to the hospital. If I break my arm, I'll go to the hospital. If I get the flu and have a fever for four days, I'll take Nyquil and drink orange juice and suck it up and hope I don't die and if I get close enough to dying, I hope my partner will take me to the hospital. "Parole officers" are not doctors. I hate the medical care I get, and I hate that I can't get better, and I miss Peter Weitzman, a respectful and compassionate doctor. Those don't exist anymore. Oh, and the benzos on the report? Oh my yes. I had to take a Xanax just to get in their doorway. I'm not playing whack-a-mole hunting through the cabled-together conglomerate of a nationally terrible health care system try to put a glass slipper on the kind of doctor that no longer exists. I am clearly emotionally not ready, and you can't call and ask 'do you treat patients like criminals?' because that marks you ask a drug-seeker. This isn't obeying in advance. It's obeying because I have no other options available. Giving them two stars because the techs are kind and competent, the front desk is friendly, and you never have to wait too long to see someone.

In a rather bizarre situation, which I find outrageous, I and many others are essentially being…read morebooted out of this practice and no one will even tell us why. My doctor is leaving, there are other doctors at the practice who are taking new patients, but they will not allow any of my doctor's patients to stay with the practice. I just spoke to a very nice receptionist who clearly is getting many calls and is just as clearly not allowed to say why this is happening. The disrespect for patients is just beyond the pale, and especially so in an area that has a shortage of doctors and it's really hard to find a new one.
