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.

Excellent on all points. I felt that Dr. Bello was 100% present and I had complete confidence in him

Great communication skills, conversation felt non-biased, and no judgment on lifestyle. The doctor took great care in the exploration, with great communication skills as each step proceeded and was quite gentle. I have already started recommending him to others.

First time I met Dr. Bello & he was just as exceptional as I heard from other physicians (about him). He was patient, extremely knowledgeable, caring & listened. He was very confident & I felt that I already could trust him.

I really like Dr. Bello. He explained things clearly, he was the first doctor to ever even show me my imaging since I've had this issue, and he told me the honest truth about my options which is helpful.
