Lengthy explanation of the procedure, very friendly, organized. As is the case with every female Doctor I have, she does not patronize me and is not dismissive

I’ve had three colonoscopies performed by, Dr Bellaguarda and I’ve been very satisfied. She has a personal touch. She was the only doctor who talked to me after the procedures. I never experienced that with the previous doctor who performed several colonoscopies.

Dr. Bellaguarda gave me more information about my disease in 30 minutes than my previous doctor had given me in two years. I was immediately comfortable and confident in her care.

Dr. B. is responsive to my questions and I always feel like she has my best interest at heart. SHe suggested strongly that I get a bariatric sleeve surgery from Dr. Nagle and I listened to her and I am so grateful to her. She is warm and caring and i just admire her so much!

Dr. Bellaguarda is an amazing doctor. Obviously she’s very knowledgeable, but she also listens to what I say, really listens, and is thoughtful about what is best for me.

She takes care of a dear friend... and then my gyne was very happy to learn she was my doctor. So, she came highly recommended. As for what I think... I like her straightforward style. And I'm comfortable enough to be unconscious when she works on me. LOL

After years of dealing with gastroenterologists who did not explain or help me consider options, she was the first doctor willing to spend the time to help me and the only to act promptly to start helping me.

Her patient, out daughter. is 39 years old and has developmental disabilities. It is hard to treat someone who cannot tell you where it hurts or how she feels. Doctor Bellaguarda, handles it with kindness and by talking to us to get the answers she needs.

I saw Dr. Belleguarda for a 2nd opinion for treatment/possible surgery. She was very attentive in letting me explain my complex past medical history. She reviewed and confirmed all of my past records during my visit. A lot of doctors would scan or glance at them prior to walking in the room for your consult (medical field retiree - I know the drill). I didn't feel rushed or made to feel as 'you're just a 2nd opinion so no need to waste a lot of time on her'. Dr. Bellaguarda asked questions that my current GI never did, she dug deeper into possible diagnoses which were shrugged off in the past. She suggested a game plan to get a true diagnosis after many years of inconsistencies. When she asked if I wanted to send a consult letter to my current GI, I told her don't bother, he's fired as of today.

I was seeing the doctor for a second opinion regarding treatment for my condition. Although she’d reviewed my file, Dr. Bellaguarda asked me to tell my story from diagnosis till now. She listened carefully, asked clarifying questions and took the time to answer all of my questions. She was kind, understanding and relieved many of my concerns.
