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.

Horribly negligent
Bill Bell doesn't care about children and should not have a medical license. He ignored every single thing I said my entire childhood and now I am disabled in my 30s and completely screwed in life. Completely avoidable with BASIC MEDICAL SCREENING had he done it. Further, he is a nepotistic narcissist who took over girls softball and continued to center his own ego and community recognition over the health and wellbeing of children. I seriously hope the community does something about his reign of terror soon.

My Father who is over 70 sees Dr. Bell; Dr is so very negligent in his care. Will not return phone calls in regards to heart test, stress test or even when my Father was having reactions to medication he still didn’t call back...my father is certainly billed constantly for every little thing at an outrageous amount! Please stay away from this office!
