Worst Doctor I've ever dealt with. I've seen many Doctors the past 3 years and this guy takes the cake. He told me after my appointment "If you don't hear from me then don't worry about anything. Dr Bell is one of those Doctors who feels like you're holding up his time. I had to call 5 times and the office staff gave me the run around. The worst experience I ever had with a medical group. Also this is the first time I've ever left a review about anything in my lifetime. Stay away from Dr. Donald Bell.

Donald P Bell is on the Board of EJGH, a hospital that is refusing to pay hazard pay for EMTs, and requiring them to work, even when sick with fevers, endangering the workers on the front lines of the COVID19 crisis and our entire community.

Never got.past the very rude receptionist/wife. Forgot she personally scheduled our appt. Then was very helpful or made any effort to give us any.communication. we where referred by a family member that continously tried to call her to straighten it out to only be put on hold until we walked out then apologize to her (not us) after she recalled.the error. All with owning any fault. Heard doctor was great but was told by another patient. That the receptionist was a B and he dealt with it bc doctor was so good...very disappointed

Barbaric. Extremely rude office staff/nurse/wife all in one. Pain advocate. Not truthful about diagnosis or treatment outcome.
