Betances Health Center

The case manager Jorge Martínez is an excellent person, he is empathetic, he is diligent, he listens to every concern or need we have. It reassures me to have people around me like that in my process. Another great human being is Dr. Juan Beily, his attention is excellent, he is kind and he is always attentive to every detail in my treatment. The consultations are very clear and he follows up on every change that presents itself or requires my treatment.

I need to say that I have been coming to Betances health center for several years, and I have never been as happy as I have been for the past 14 months. My doctor is Nicholas Colangelo, Family Nurse Practitioner. He is VERY professional, he's patient, attentive and decent. I am VERY pleased with him, and I Highly recommend him!!! My son has seen Nicholas Colangelo and was also pleased! Then there is my Nutritionist, Andrea Saenz. She too is amazing. VERY professional. She is attentive, patient and also decent. I have recommended her also and one of my friends have started seeing her and has progressed amazingly in her eating and activities. Yes, both family Nurse Practitioner, Nicholas Colangelo and Nutritionist, Andrea Saenz have been the reason why I have been feeling physically well in this past year. It is why I HIGHLY recommend them. They are EXCELLENT at what they do!!! I CANNOT stress that enough!!! I am SUPER DELIGHTED!!!

I'm very happy to be another Betances customer. The service and the human warmth are always there; they're always willing to help people with every need. My dental treatment went perfectly! Now I feel confident enough to smile again. Thank you, Dr. Cheong Eun! 🦷

I had the unfortunate experience of being referred to psychiatrist Fahad Sultan by my PCP, and it was the most bizarre encounter I’ve ever had. I came in seeking treatment for ADHD and depression. From the jump he was rude in tone and manner, seemingly upset with my answers to his questions. I quickly found myself thinking “why is this guy so mad at me?”. Anytime I tried to repeat his words back to him, in an effort to understand what he saying, he would immediately get defensive and backtrack. I expressed that I wanted to continue treatment for my ADHD and he treated me like a drug addicted trying to score. Even when I expressed to him that I understood the reasons why federally funded clinics had stricter rules about controlled substances, and that I was not upset about that, he just kept talking over me and explaining the same regulations over and over. When I voiced that I was uncomfortable and didn’t want to continue treatment with him, he only became meaner and combative. I wish I had read the other reviews about him before visiting, because this was truly a disturbing way to be treated. I feel bad for anyone else seeking mental health treatment who finds themselves in his office. The receptionist and nurse were very nice though.

Unfortunately the service at Betances has gone downhill. It’s unfortunate for the community. When patient care and needs are ignored at the door it affects the quality of care a patient receives. They need reliable administrative staff who handles front desk messages, scheduling and insurance matters with accuracy. When they do answer phones, which is a nightmare to have to keep calling, it’s immediately “hold on” then placed on a hold for sometime or no one returns messages. Administration Staff at Betances has made it difficult to receive quality care in a low income neighborhood. It’s unfortunate
