About Dr Brent B. Belvin
A native Texan, Dr. Belvin was born and raised in the Dallas area and has been practicing PM&R & Interventional Spine & Musculoskeletal Medicine (ISMM)
“First and foremost, listening to my patients is far and away my best diagnostic tool. MRIs, EMGs, xrays, etc are very important, but nothing will ever take the place of an expert history and exam. I also believe conservative measures must be attempted before invasive procedures are considered (except in emergencies, of course.) Patients of mine should feel comfortable asking me anything they want. I am a straight-shooter and will give you the best advice I can, with truthful, realistic expectations provided. I treat my patients like I treat my family.” – Dr Brent B Belvin
