Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Not good the last few years
Dr. Bell was my gynecologist for many years, he was an excellent doctor but for the last 4 or 3 years, he started getting busier and busier, the waiting time was at least 1 hour to see him for 5 minutes. He started being very dismissive, and condescending when asked questions or concerns. He would spend 90% of the consultation talking about his last vacation and complaining about how many patients he still had to see. I stopped seeing him for this reason. Not sure if he is to blame or the clinic for scheduling so many patients at once.

My two most recent pregnancies were handled with Dr. Bell and I can not thank him enough for his understanding and support through a successful VBAC and Emergancy C-section. In fact, It’s safe to say that if he wasn’t as good as he is at his job my last pregnancy would have ended in tragedy. He’s compassionate, supportive, and truly cares about your wishes and concerns

I have a high risk twin pregnancy and was seeing both Dr. Bell and the MFM. There is no communication between the two. Scheduling was a nightmare; the receptionists refuse to schedule both appointments together. When a huge issue was found by the MFM and I requested to see Dr Bell he hadn't spoken to the MFM before our appointment and didn't even know what was going on. We had no "medical team" and felt very alone and without guidance during on e of the worst times of our life.

Dr. Bell is awesome. I actually had scheduled my surgery with another provider, but switched to Dr. Bell based on recommendations from friends and colleagues. He took the time to explain my condition and the surgery. Never rushed me. He answered all my questions and was kind and compassionate. Two weeks after surgery and I feel like I have my life back. I'm going to be able to run again without peeing my pants!!! A++ to Dr. Bell.

My experience with this doctor was poor at BEST. Not only was he unacceptably late to our appointment, he left me waiting on a gurney for a procedure for over 4 hours with no reasonable excuse or apologies for doing so, knowing full well it would cause me severe pain and anxiety. I was garbage to this man, I am considering a lawsuit and I do not advise anyone to go see him for so much as a hangnail.

Dr. Bell is extremely knowledgeable about endometriosis and helping manage it. Compassionate with good bed side manner. A great doctor who cuts the fluff.
