Ive never had experience with a rheumatologist before but this place was a terrible first experience. Waited an hour for my appointment to be told they think my joint pain is all in my head. I will be going somewhere else as my joints hurt everyday all day and it seemed like nobody cares about doing their job, about the pain I am in or trying to figure out what is actually wrong with my joints. Also to then get told what I should get for my health. You just told me my joint pain is nothing I dont think I will be taking any other medical advice since you cant even forgive out what is wrong with me in the first place. Felt like a number only. To clarify I did not see this rheumatologist

Dr. Bernadette Van Belois is a wonderful doctor. I have been battling autoimmune diseases since the 1970s. I have been to the Mayo Clinic, OHSU in Portland, Or, and have seen more than my share of doctors. I have had wonderful ones and a few clunkers along the trail—I feel I am a good judge of them and the care they provide and I can say without hesitation that Dr. Van Belois is in the very top tier of doctors. I trust her implicitly (and continue to do so).

Dr. Van Belois has been my go to doctor since the early 2000s. She diagnosed me with Sjögrens Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Every other doctor I went to had never heard of Sjögrens Disease. My treatment plan has worked since day one. I have never been rushed through any appointment. So thankful we have her here in the Flathead Valley. She has a warm and caring personality.

Dr VanBelois is great !!!!
