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.

I can not recommend this provider.
My grandbabies might be alive if Dr. Bell would have sent my daughter to a specialist for her rare twin pregnancy.

Had 2 visits so far, I'm high risk first off. Took over a month to get into see Dr. Bell for first appt. Which we sat and waited 3 1/2 hrs in waiting room, to then spend 10 mins with Dr. No blood work done. Scheduled second appt for over a month later, to do ultrasound and labs plus see Dr. Sat another 1 1/2 hr in waiting room before ultrasound, once ultrasound was over was sent to Dr Bell's waiting room to sit for another 10 mins, only to be told he's already left for the day..
