Dr Bettencourt was not a recommendation, just on my insurance. I must have come on a good day because I do not remember waiting too long. I was asked to be on the medical trial for a new psoriasis medication that required injections every 2 weeks. I was to be paid $35 "tax free" a visit. It took almost 8 months to receive my first check, and then received a notification from Dr Bettencourt that I had to claim it on my taxes. Also after 8 months of minimal results, I expressed my concern to the doctor. She curtly replied that I was getting paid for this and being given "free" topicals. Said topicals were trial size and lasted a few days only.
During one of the biweekly visits I asked Dr Bettencourt to look at this mole on my leg. She said I would have to make a regular appointment for her to look at it, even though she was already in the room with me and my pants were off to check the psoriasis. At the end of the trial, after being seen by the doctor, I asked for a prescription for a topical for my psoriasis. I was told I would have to make an appointment to be seen by the doctor. I pointed out that I had just come out of the office after being seen, and was advised that that appointment was for the "trial", not for my psoriasis.
Bottom line, Dr Bettencourt is rude and cheap. And my psoriasis is worse now than before.
