Dr. Belanger is a great specialist…read more I had an acute Achilles tendon injury and luckily was able to be seen the same morning I called, after visiting urgent care the night before. Dr. Belanger is articulate and has great bedside manner and explained exactly what caused my injury and how to prevent it in the future, along with prescribing physicial therapy. Cons are the staff, they are very cold and condescending. I arrived at 8am for an 8:15 appointment and they were upset j was there that early. I'm not sure why. The office also doesn't like it when you ask questions about billing. Besides that, everything was groovy.

I don't have any other orthopedic doctor to compare Dr. Michael Belanger to, but in comparison to…read moremany other doctors that I've been to throughout my life, he certainly was one of the best. My accident was on a early Saturday morning in April of 2010. I was walking to my car via the back walk way/driveway and it had rained the night before causing water to pool up in the bottom of the drive where I park my car. As I took a step off of the walk and into the drive, my right foot slipped out in front of me and my left foot stayed in its place, however; the tibia bone (inside ankle bone) went towards the ground. I heard and felt a snap and I knew instantly that I had broken my ankle. My friend drove me to the Fatima hospital emergency room where I was seen quickly and upon a thorough examination and x-rays; it was determined that I had broken both the tibia and fibula bones and there was a good chance I would need surgery. The emergency room doctor referred me to Dr. Belanger at The Center for orthopedics and they were able to schedule an appointment for me on Monday. Going to see Dr. Belanger I knew nothing about him. My roommate at the time drove me to my appointment (since I broke my left ankle and own a 5 speed auto, I couldn't drive for 3 months.) I checked in with the receptionist, was taken in for more x-rays and then finally met with Dr. Belanger shortly thereafter. He was very kind and funny - unusual for a doctor. He's a younger man, which is probably the reason I thought he was so dang cool, and cute! He explained that yes, I would indeed need surgery and advised me to wait about a week to do so in order to let the swelling go down. He was very patient with my questions and explained everything in detail. The surgery was done at Memorial Hospital in Pawtucket, my mother came with me and Dr. Belanger came out prior to me going in under the knife and explained everything to me and my mother again. Dr. Belanger did a fantastic job with the surgery, leaving minimal scarring (considering I have a plate and 11 screws in my left ankle.) All of my follow up visits at The Center for Orthopedics were pleasant and without complication. This place was always busy, packed to the brim with people, but they are efficient in seeing everyone in a timely manner. Even Dr. Belangers secretary was very great to work with. I wish I hadn't had to have gone through this horrendous accident, but hey... it happened. The only good outcome of the whole ordeal is that I was thankfully matched up with Dr. Belanger and The Center for Orthopedics and working with them made the experience much easier to deal with.

Always got pushed off to a PT Aide not even a PT Assistant to finish my sessions - I'm talking exercises (and a few of the aides didn't even know how to perform the exercises they were to be assisting me with), not just for ice, as they went on to assist their next patient. It felt very much like a factory and I finally had enough, fired them and found a fantastic PT group who has helped tremendously!! Wish I found Gaffney PT sooner!!!!

My physical therapist was great. However, their billing system is absolutely awful. I was told a…read morecertain amount significantly lower than the actual cost. I have it written down that Elite Physical therapy told me the cost would be $16 a session. Then apparently in reality it's around $70 a session. Even though I have it completely written down and I have spoken to billing as I'm left with a large bill. As a college student this bill is absolutely ridiculous, and if they told me the correct pricing information and was transparent about the high cost I would have never spent about $70 on a 30 minute session, over and over again. The lack of communication within billing and their rudeness is baffling due to their own mistakes. The influx of paperwork you must digitally sign apparently protects them from their unprofessionalism and lack of accountability.
