Since he is a lung cancer survivor he has been under a pulmonologist's care since 2000 with several different doctors. Dr. Betancourt was the first doctor to do testing of his phlegm. The results were astonishing. My husband had a bacteria growing in his lungs which left untreated can destroy whatever is remaining of his lungs. Dr. Betancourt treated my husband with a combination of antibiotics (oral and intravenously) that helped clear up his current condition. Yes, it will take us about an hour traveling time to see Dr. Betancourt but he is the only doctor I trust to treat my husband.

When I was hospitalized in TVRH, Dr. Betancourt was assigned to my case by the hospital. I was impressed by his concern and his thoroughness. In follow-up at his office he reviewed his treatment plan for me and explained the purpose of everything he ordered. And, he ended with a sentence that resonated with me, "We want to keep you well and out of the hospital."
I intend to continue under his care when needed.
