Dr. Christopher Bellicini, DO

My grandmother was seen inpatient by Dr. Bellicini in November 2024 for a wound overlaying her knee prosthesis. He verbally berated her about 'waiting too long to come in' and that he couldn't help her at this point, not allowing her to contribute to the conversation. However, if he would have reviewed her chart even briefly, he could see that she was in the emergency department of the same hospital just weeks prior and was advised at that time that she did not need admitted and to follow in wound clinic, which she did judiciously. Though I don't doubt Dr. Bellicini is technically gifted in the operating room, his patient shaming, refusal to consider pertinent factors of the case, and his lack of solution-oriented approach was unacceptable for us in a time of need.

I have been seeing Dr. Bellicini since 2016 getting shots that work perfectly every 6 months. Long story short. I missed a lot of cardio classes in November and part of December due to illness. December 19 went to class and have been in incredible pain since. My pcp did an X-ray gave me steroids. Dr. Bellicini’s office had them, called me and I can’t have another shot until February 24, so I’m going. I’m icing, using a cane or walking right now. Point is Dr. Bellicini cares, his Staff cares. Within an hour after getting the report from my PCP, Dr. Bellicini’s office called me and moved my appointment up as soon as possible due to my insurance.

I cannot say enough good things about this doctor! Dr. Bellicini is one of those rare doctors who truly cares about this patients and goes above and beyond in their care. My partner had Dr. Bellicini do his knee revision surgery for him at the beginning of December. Since I was at the hospital with him, the doctor called the waiting room to tell me how the surgery went. I then told him that I needed a hip replacement but the soonest I could get an appointment with him was the end of April. He asked me my last name and said he could see me sooner. A few days later my partner got a call from the office manager telling me that Dr. Bellicini could see me in January. Long story short, it is now the second week of March and I am 6 weeks out from my hip replacement! I cannot ell you how quickly I recovered with minimal pain. I had my right hip replaced 12 years ago and this recovery was a piece of cake compared to that one. Don't go anywhere else!

Knee replacement 5 days ago. I am feeling much better than I had. Dr is best in his field. Very caring, committed, explanatory & concerned for his patients outcome. He doctors the way doctors should with utmost knowledge and communication. To actually receive a call from the surgeon to see how you are doing….amazing. His staff is also amazing. I recommend him to anyone thinking of a joint replacement.

I had a bilateral knee replacement ( both knees same day) and thought I was making a mistake but Dr. Bellicini proved me wrong. This is one amazing Surgeon. My physical therapist was blown away by my progress and told me at 3 weeks I was better than 90% of her patients at 10 weeks. She also told me every patient whether knee or hip she worked with that Dr. Bellicini did was as close to perfection as you could get. This man's hands were blessed in his profession and as far as I'm concerned there is none finer. Thank you Dr. B. for giving me my life back.

I had some unidentified persistent pain in my lower leg after a hip operation. Dr. Bellicini saw me twice and explained things to me very thoroughly. I am now pain free. You can tell that Dr. Bellicini really cares about his profession and his patients. Highly recommended.

Dr Bellicini is the Best. I had been referred by several people and was told, he was worth the wait. I had my initial appointment, and he explained everything in layman's terms, as it was easy to understand. As this was a second opinion, no further testing or treatment were needed, and he didn't try and waste more of time, doing things that hadn't worked. I am scheduled for surgery in March 2022 and I can't wait to have the surgery and get back my life.

Bellicini did bilateral knee surgery on me 3 years ago. Both have been failures. Knees are now worse than before the surgery. Constant low grade pain. At 4 month visit, he said there was nothing more he could do for me. He seemed uninterested in solving my continuing knee pains. Might be a good mechanic, but not much of a doctor

In my opinion Dr. Bellicini and his team are the best . Both knees replaced 3 months apart. Been 3+ years now and everything is great. Will be seeing him for a checkup later this year.

Great office staff. Highly competent team. Waited 7 months for BTKR and here’s why: 3 years later at 61, I can run, jump, kneel, and even crawl. This excellent Surgeon and team gave me my life back! Thank you all!

I had knee replacement surgery a year and a half ago. I am doing great from the surgery, no more knee pain. I highly recommend Dr. Bellicini to anyone needing knee replacement surgery. He is worth the wait. Excellent doctor. Takes his time with you and does not rush you out of the office. Great staff also.

Dr Bellicini has always been great. He is a wonderful doctor.

Less than 2 weeks since I had a total knee replacement and I am already using my bicycle on the trainer and walking on the elliptical. He is absolutely the best in his field!! He is definitely worth the wait to get an appointment. There is a reason it takes so long to get an appointment with him, and you can get immediate appointment with others!! Simply the best!!

Dr. Bellicini took the time to explain and discuss treatment plans prior to surgery. His attention to detail put my mind at ease. His ability to speak to the procedure was impressive. The interest in your lifestyle to help determine which type of surgery you are most suited spoke to his compassion and caring nature. Excellent skillset, beside manner and follow through! Simply outstanding!

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Chris Bellicini. I had my hip replaced 20 days ago and I am almost back to completely normal. Upon waking up from surgery, I had instant relief of pain. I was up walking in a couple of hours and released the next day. His confidence is what helped me know he was the doctor for my procedure. Dr. Chris is very down to Earth, he speaks a language that I could understand and he is personable. If you need a hip--go see Dr. Chris!

It's been a few years since I had my knee replacement and I could not have been happier with Dr.Bellicini and Mike, his PA. I have referred many people to him and have never heard any complaints.

Dr. Bellicini used the anterior approach for my hip replacement and it's only been 2 weeks and no one can believe how well I'm doing. I really appreciate him putting the patient's recovery as a priority in choosing this method. I realize this procedure is much more time consuming and difficult for him than the traditional approach. I hope more surgeons learn this method because there is just not enough of Dr.Bellicini to fill the demand. I would highly recommend him.
