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.

He's not a very competant Dr.. He is unable or unwilling to perform very simple procedures. I would not recommend any POC see him for care. I am completely disappointed in his care.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful Dr. Bell is as a provider for women’s health and maternal medicine. I have been under his care for 5 years and counting. He came highly recommended for an initial infertility work up. He has a very professional and comforting bedside manner. He always makes time to answer my questions and put my concerns at ease, not downplaying or marginalizing them. He managed my fertility treatments, was there for me during my long, tough labor of my first child and performed my two cecerean sections. I trust him with my life and truly believe he wants nothing more than the very best care for his patients.

Dr. Bell delivered both my sons (2013 & 2016) via c-section, and most recently a hysterectomy (2018). He is an amazing surgeon/doctor. I have been a patient of this clinic for over 13 years and wouldn't go anywhere else for my care.

Dr. Bell is very respectful and compassionate. He's punctual too. He takes your concerns seriously and makes you feel like his only patient. When my water broke early in 2013 with my daughter he called the hospital I was sent to with well wishes. During my most recent high risk pregnancy he put me at ease throughout so much so that I was trying to hold out for him for delivery-if I was going to end up with a c-section I wanted him to do it. I recommend him all the time to my friends.
