Dr. Vera Bell, PHD

I saw her in 2017 because she was supposed to be knowledgeable about autism and I'd had many suggest the possibility for me (I was formally diagnosed years later.) When I brought it up to her, she said to me, quote 'The only reason we use the term autism is because people don't like being called R-T-RDED.' Yes she used that word. She also told me that autistic people don't have anxiety. She was otherwise a pleasant person to talk to, but these statements were dangerously misinformed and harmful.

Dr. Bell is awesome! Easy to talk with about your problems! I would highly recommend her services if you are having behavioral issues!!!!!

My insurance referred me to her for therapy, but she did not bother to return my call for assistance. Individuals in her profession should at least return calls even if it is to say that she has no openings. Very unprofessional and very uncompassionate.

Dr Bell seems thoughtful and caring in her approach even if she does fidget a lot throughout the session. As for even getting someone on the phone to schedule an appointment? This was the absolute worst encounter I've ever had. Not only was Linda slow at communicating, she was unfriendly, unhelpful and when I arrived to the office she was incredibly unwelcoming and didn't bother to assist with a follow up appointment. Seems like a shame.

Dr.Bell took the time to listen to what I really had to say and was very professional I would recommend Dr.Bell to anyone who is needing advice.
