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. Excellent. Excellent.

Too hard to get in to see.
I really liked Dr. Bell; however I had to wait 9 months for an initial appointment. That was okay because my former physician in Huntsville had just renewed my Rx for a year. 3 months after the initial visit, I developed a sinus infection and called to get an appointment, his first available was 3 months out; to see 'his nurse' would have been a week and a half so I used Teledoc to get antibiotics. When it came time for my next annual checkup, I called to reschedule so that I could go to Montgomery to take my 91 year old father for an echocardiogram. The 1st available reschedule date was six months out. I've changed physicians. The best Doc. in the world is no good to me if I can't get an appointment when needed.

Dr. Bell has a wonderful "bedside manner." He is great with prescribing. I am very glad I started being his patient.

I was referred to Dr. Bell after my primary doctor left the Kirklin clinic. I have seen the nurse practitioner and Dr. Bell and was very satisfied with both. Dr. Bell listened and did not rush in and out like others I have used. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a new provider.
