Dr. Joseph D. Bettencourt, MD, Paso Robles CA

I have been a patient of "Dr. B" since 2006. What do I love about my family doctor? Let me count the ways. First of all, he listens, and he has helped me tremendously throughout the years. He hires great staff members with little turn over which to me speaks volumes. Dr. B's energy and good mood has always been infectious. I leave his office with a smile on my face. He knows his stuff, and in the old days, if he wasn't certain about something, he'd grab one of his books and look it up. Well, I certainly haven't seen him do this in over a decade. My point is that I find Dr B to be very authentic, honest, and filled with integrity. Most importantly, I TRUST him. So much, that despite my moving to Northern California, I will not change my doctor. I prefer to return to Paso to see Dr. B. Who else is going to give me excellent care and make me laugh like he does? Hummm.

Thought I had a rose thorn in my finger, turns out I had multiple. Didn't have an appointment, but took me in right away. Dr Bettencourt is awesome!

Office staff is so rude, commented I should be careful in what sort of message I leave. Msg said. I asked if I could get a call back. I did not see any in my list. I called admitted error, and still very rude. Stay away. The staff is toxic. My insurance said they are taking new patients. Lady said they were not. Guess if not born in Paso or friends dont't bother.

Only interested in the ratings. Doesn't listen to the patients concerns. If you question him he terminates you as a patient.
