Dr. Bellaguarda has been my physician since transitioning from seeing Dr. [name]. I didn't think I'd get the care from her as I'd had with Dr. [name] but I was wrong. She was his student, he taught her well. She is an excellent provider.

Dr. Bellaguarda is awesome. She is professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. Always takes time to explain results, responds to questions from My Chart in a prompt manner and listens to questions and responds in a clear and concise manner during in-office visits. The same can be said about her assistant Paige. Always there when I need to ask a question or directions.

The care she showed me was exceptional. I was referred to her for a second opinion and I was very apprehensive about having my 4th colonoscopy. She made me feel at ease and calmed my fears.
