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.

Open Heart Surgery Patient
When I visited Dr. Bello before the surgery, I was greatly impressed as to how clearly he described the process. I could tell that he had performed many heart surgeries, and knewthat I was in the best hands possible. It was of no surprise to me that the surgery was a great success. I am now doing very well in my recovery. I attribute this largely to the great preparation and skill of Dr. Bello. It is my belief that if you look at all of the professions in our society and combine theimportance of a surgeon, the enormous educational background and training necessary,as well the level of difficulty involved, then surgeons would have to be our most impressiveprofessionals of all. It is my belief now, as before, that I had the best surgeon possible in Dr. Bello. I would strongly recommend him to anyone, and especially for the most intensive of all operations, such as what I had, an open heart surgery.

I was duly impressed by the time and manner that Dr. Bello took to fully explain my heart condition and the possible outcome if I did not consider bypass surgery. Because of his professionalism and medical skills, I opted for the bypass surgery and now have no regrets in doing so. His top notch surgical team at St Vincent's Hospital, as well as the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit nurses, all earn an outstanding grade for care and services performed. I highly recommend this facility and his surgical team.

Dr. Bello performed a quadruple bypass on me back in 2019, he made the post surgery fun and answered all the questions that I had. I wouldn't recommend surgery to anyone, but if you need it, he's your MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saved my husband's life!
Dr. Bello performed a successful aortic dissection repair on my husband. Since my husband's sister died during a very similar procedure (different surgeon in a different state), we were terrified. But Dr. Bello brought him through and for that we are forever grateful.
