Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Patient of over 15 years
The lack of communication between the office staff and PCP is taken out on the patient. Was scolded during an appointment for being overdue for a follow-up when the office had cancelled the appointment 3 times (the 3rd time was the day of an appointment). Disappointed. Looking for a new PCP.

Great Visit
She is always very prompt, she gets my test results right to me, so I’m never wondering about them. She is very easy to talk to and covers everything I need done or need to know.

No nonsense, thorough physician
I don't pull punches, I want someone to be straight with me and give me all my options clearly, directly and know what they're doing. I have found that with Dr. Belsky. I'm a relatively new patient of hers but she already knows more of my medical history and concerns than my previous primary of over a year. She asks questions before making recommendations and has a no nonsense approach with me as her patient. I've been very pleased with my care thus far and have recommended her to family.

The worst Doctor ever! She stopped medication without telling me, then claimed she "didn't know why" it was stopped. She lied on my medical records, saying I had a colonoscopy, and it was good, when on the same record it showed NO colonoscopy was done. "She was afraid it was unsafe because I had epilepsy". She put me on high blood pressure medication, even after I monitored my blood pressure for 30 days and it NEVER was high. And she actually wrote MENTALLY CHALLENGED in bold letters on my annual wellness visit form. After I contacted the Ma dept of mental health, Steward medical said the staff needed additional training. And when I found another doctor within Partners Healthcare, they froze my medical records so myself and my new medical team could not access my medical information. RUN as far from this whole practice as fast as you can!

I recently discovered I have fibroids in my uterus. This is something that could have easily been diagnosed with a few simple questions and an easy test. I have struggled needlessly with fertility for five years, most likely because of these fibroids. I feel like Dr. Belsky could have investigated my situation, but instead she shrugged her shoulders and handed me a list of other Fertility Specialists. Which I didn’t understand why a healthy woman my age would need fertility. I’m disappointed, and I feel like I have suffered needlessly because of her carelessness.

I had come in to talk briefly about a few things with Dr. Belsky. She was so focused on hurrying the appointment that I was not able to even mention the last topic I wanted to discuss. She did not once ask if there was anything else I would like to ask or talk to her about. I finally asked to get a prescription filled and she made it clear she would call it in, but then I called my pharmacy throughout the week they said no one had called in my prescription.

I had Dr Belsky for a short time whem my Dr left Plainville. One time I was having terrible abdominal pains and went to see her. She a told me to pee in a cup but I couldn't. She had me drink a gallon of water but I still couldn't provide. Urine sample. She said in a harsh tone What's wrong with you - you can't pee??? I called a urologist in Mansfield. He took a quick look and said you have to get to the ER ASAP!!! Turned out to be a kidney stone completely blocking the tube! Had surgery.

MY DOCTOR LEFT THE PRACTICE SO I FIGURED I WOULD SEE HER FOR THE EASE OF THE TRANSITION. IT WAS THE MOST AWFUL DOCTOR EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. SHE WAS RUSHED, RUDE AND VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. THE FRONT OFFICE STAFF IS NOT FRIENDLY AT ALL. THE MEDICAL ASSISTANTS WERE VERY NICE. THE NURSE THAT CALLS YOU BACK IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION WAS ALSO QUITE RUDE.

Dr. Irene Belsky has been consistently unfriendly, impatient and discourteous to me, has never even once smiled, doesn't listen, is boastful of questionable expertise, doesn't give accurate diagnoses or offer appropriate care, and sends me all over to see specialists who all ask why she sent me to them at all. She seems not to know what she's doing. I'll be looking for another doctor. The facility is nice. Her nurse is nice. The rest of the office staff is OK, but I cannot recommend Dr. Belsky.
